Sophie Jones 11X3 11 Picasso Physics coursework 'How does the height a ball is dropped from effect the rebound height?' Aim: My aim is to investigate the effect of dropping height of a tennis ball to the bouncing (rebound) height when, the ball is dropped on a smooth surface. Prediction: I predict that the rebound height will be higher if the dropping height is higher, provided the ball will drop on the same surface. This is simply to say that gravitational potential energy of the tennis ball is changed to kinetic energy of the tennis ball. As the ball is falling it gains kinetic energy, the kinetic energy is maximum when the tennis ball is about to hit the surface. After hitting the surface, the kinetic energy of the tennis ball is changing to gravitational potential energy of the tennis ball. The bouncing height will not be equal to the dropping height because some of the kinetic...
