    The Physics of Balls Bouncing off at Surfaces Leader: Mr. Edrian Pantas Contador‚ Love S. Members: Espiritu‚ Ian Timothy Ecube‚ Lynn Kristine Magangcong‚ Ahlya Oliman‚ Genie Rose Chapter 1 Introduction Bouncing ball physics is an interesting subject of analysis‚ demonstrating several interesting dynamics principle related to acceleration. Almost everybody‚ at some point in their lives‚ has bounced a rubber ball against the wall or floor and observed its motion. Normally

    a factor that affects the height of a bouncing ball. The factor that will be investigated in this experiment would be the initial height of the ball. The relationship will be determined by altering the initial height of the ball prior to the release in order for the ball to bounce. The ball used in this experiment would be a tennis ball‚ and it will be dropped on the same surface each experiment. However‚ the initial height prior to the release of the ball will be altered in order to determine

    restitution will be measured between a ball and the ground. Throughout this extended experimental investigation the theory of whether or not different changing different variables can change the rate in which a ball can fall at and the height in which it bounces at. The motion of a bouncing ball can be analyzed into the motion of before‚ during and after impact of the ball contacting the surface. This investigation will analyse and break down the motions of a ball being bounced‚ into seven dynamic stages

    Physics Internal Assessment Research Question: Of plywood‚ glass‚ stainless steel‚ and a ceramic tile‚ which least affects the dynamics of a bouncing table tennis ball? Background Information: Table tennis is a ball game that can be played on any reasonably sized‚ flat‚ elevated surface. As is the case in any ball game‚ a crucial criterion to base which material to be used as a playing surface is the bounce of the ball. For any ball game to be fair to both sides‚ the playing surface must be such

    A hard rubber ball is dropped from rest. It falls to the concrete floor and bounces back up ALMOST to its initial height. A motion detector is mounted on the ceiling directly above the ball‚ facing down. So‚ the positive direction -- the away-from-the-detector direction -- is downward. Draw the position‚ velocity‚ and acceleration graphs. Since moving downward is a positive direction‚ is the velocity positive when the ball falls‚ 0 when it hits the ground‚ and then negative when it moves up?

    Cuc Chim Pd. 6 Pre-Calc 2. y = a(x – h)2 + k a= -4.99 h=1.095 k=0.826 x=0.688 y=0 y= -4.99(x-1.095)2+0.826 3. If “a” value changes the graph gets wider. “a” would also change the direction the parabola faces. For example‚ if it were positive it would face up and if it were negative‚ it would face down. If “h” value changes‚ the graph can either move left or right. Meaning the graph shifts horizontally. If the value of “k” changes‚ the graph gets taller or smaller. Meaning “k”

    The Physics behind the Golf Ball One factor that greatly affects the flight and trajectory of a golf ball is the air resistance. People may think that air resistance would make the golf ball slower and drop faster‚ but this is not true. Modern golf balls have adapted to this by having circular shallow depressions‚ also known as “dimples‚” on the ball. This was invented by a English engineer William Taylor in 1908. Unlike other designs‚ the dimple proved to be the most aerodynamically efficient.

    Free Fall Rachel Shea Physics 131 Lab‚ QL Hasbrouck 210 Sept. 21‚ 2014 Abstract This experiment measures the study of motion by observing the force of gravity acting solely upon an object‚ and also measures reaction time. If an object is in free fall‚ the only force acting upon it is gravity. The object used in this experiment was a golf ball that provided some acceleration when dropped. A sensor positioned underneath a table recorded the golf ball’s pattern of motion‚ when dropped. The main

    An Experiment to investigate how the Initial Height of which a Ball is dropped affects its Fractional Loss of Kinetic Energy Research Question: What is the relationship between initial height of a drop and the fractional loss of kinetic energy in a bouncing ball? Introduction: When an object is held at a height above the ground‚ it possesses gravitational potential energy (Ep = mg∆h) that is directly dependent of the mass and height of which the object is positioned above the ground.
