Investigate one of the factors that affects how high a ball bounces. Aim: To carry out an experiment to determine whether the height of which a ball is dropped determines how high a ball bounces. Prediction: I predict that the greater the height from which the ball is dropped the higher the ball will bounce. This is because the ball gains more energy as it is dropped and therefore if it is dropped from a greater height it will have gained more energy- and that means the force with which it hits the ground will be greater so it bounces higher. Before the ball is released it will have potential energy- the potential to have energy or a force eg being dropped- and this energy is turned into kinetic energy- or, movement- when the ball is dropped. This means that the ball will have a greater amount of potential energy and therefore...
