RICHARD EATOCK 10K Physics Investigation Bouncing a Squash Ball Aim: The aim of this experiment is to find what factors effect the height that a squash ball bounces. I will be investigating these factors and their relationship with others. The factors that I feel will effect the height the ball bounces are; the ball itself, the surface the ball is dropped on, height the ball is dropped from and the temperature of the ball when it is dropped. I will be changing the temperature of the ball and measuring the height that the ball bounces when dropped from a constant distance using the same ball and surface throughout. Background Information: Just before the ball is dropped it has gravitational potential energy. As the ball falls, the vast majority of this will be converted into kinetic energy. However, a tiny proportion of it will be dissipated as heat by air resistance....
