... What Factors affect the height of the bounce of a ball? Aim: My aim is to determine how one factor that I control can affect the height of the bounce of the ball. Background Information: Before a ball is released, it is stored with gravitational potential energy, which is energy dues to height. It can be calculated with the formula: Potential Energy = mass ( g ( height (Where g stands for gravitational field strength, on earth it has the value of g = 10m/s²). As the ball is dropped the speed of the ball increases and the gravitational potential energy is converted in to kinetic energy, which is energy of movement. It can be calculated with the formula: Kinetic energy = 1/2 ( mass ( velocity². When the ball hits the ground it begins to slow down and has no gravitational potential energy but it also starts to deform. But if there
