What factors affect the efficiency of the bounce of a ball? Efficiency = Energy after bounce Energy before bounce Planning Factors In order to find an appropriate way to measure the change in the efficiency of the bounce, we needed to look at and list the many different factors. We need to identify all of the factors that might affect our, preliminary, or final results. The height at which the ball is dropped We would use a meter rule to measure where we dropped the ball from and then what peak it reached whilst bouncing.
