... Investigation into the effects of temperature on a squash ball. Josh fear 23 November 2004 Aim: I am intending to test the elasticity of a squash ball at different temperatures. Introduction: I will be testing the elasticity by heating or cooling the squash ball in water for 2 minuets to the desired temperature and then drop it from a height of 50cms, recording the number or bounces and the height of the first bounce. I will also be testing the squash ball under compression. I will be designing and building a device to compress the squash ball evenly under a mass of 40N, and then measuring the compression with a ruler. A squash ball is a sealed unit. The volume of air within the ball is a fixed amount, or constant. When the ball is heated, the volume of air inside increases. This can be explained using collision theory of molecules. From the diagram,
