Well there are quite a lot of variables-factors- that can effect the height of a dropped ball..........such as...........
- the weight of the object, or ball dropped
- the height in which the ball was dropped from
- the materials that make up the ball( for instance, if it were a bouncy rubber ball, then it would effect the ball's rebound)
- the surface that the ball hit(like if it were a slanted surface the ball would launch diagonally and wouldn't go as high)
- and also the force in which the ball was thrown or dropped could possibly affect the ball's rebound.

2. weight or mass of the ball; inertia.
3. speed with which it is thrown.
4. gravity.
5. friction between the ball's surface and the surface it strikes.
6. angle the ball strikes at.
7. air friction between the ball surface and the air.
8. whether the ball is hollow and filled with air, and pumped fully, or not.
9. bias or shape of the ball.
10. fluid flow dynamics and air vortices around the ball as it moves.

∙ 12y agoThe bouciness (if that's a word) of the ball, and the height you drop it from. The more bouncy the ball is, the higher it bounces, and the higher you drop it from, the higher it bounces.
The higher the ball is when it is dropped, the more gravitational pull it will have on it. Also the material it is made of makes a difference, for example a Bowling ball which is made of a hard material would not bounce as high as a rubber ball; this is because the rubber has more give in it, so has more potential to ping back into its original shape, creating kinetic (moving) energy which bounces it back up in the air again. Then when the ball bounces back up, it will not fall from as high a distance as before, therefore each time it bounces back up it has less and less gravitational energy, eventually bringing it to a halt on the floor.</H5>

Is the bounce of a ball affected by the surface it bounces on?
Its GREATLY affected by the surface it bounces on!If you bounce it on a soft or cushioned surface like a shag carpet, the carpet will absorb a lot of the impact, and the ball will not bounce as high.On the other hand, if you bounce it on concrete, the ball's fall is not cushioned nearly as much, and as a result, bounces much higher.
Does mud on a tennis ball affect the height of its bounce?
not as far as you know is not a good answer because it does not explain. the mud will make the tennis ball heavier and denser if it has water in it the ball heavy wont go far for its bounce.
What is the gradual build up doing a lay up shot?
I think it is 1- step on one foot e.g. right, and bounce ball at same time 2- bounce ball and take the one step on right foot, then two more steps, left, right. 3- bounce ball and take one step, take two steps and release ball 4- bounce ball and take one step, take two steps and release ball against a wall at basket height. 5- bounce ball, take one step, take two steps and release ball but this time into a basket.
What ball bounces higher a basketball or rubber ball?
It would depend on what you bounce them on and what material the bouncy ball is made of. Most surfaces and materials would mean the bouncy ball goes higher, but a few could result in the golf ball being better.
A rubber ball has the property that on any bounce it returns to one third of the height from which it just fell Suppose the ball is dropped from 114 m how far has the ball traveled the fourth t?
the fourth hit will be approx 1.4 metres
Is the height a ball bounce affected by the height from which the ball is dropped?
Yes.
Is the height of a ball bounce affected by the height from which the ball is dropped?
Yes - the greater the height an item dropped the resulting bounce is higher
Is the height of the ball's bounce affected by the height from which the ball is dropped?
Yes - the greater the height an item dropped the resulting bounce is higher
Is the height of a ball's bounce affected by the height from which the ball is dropped?
Yes - the greater the height an item dropped the resulting bounce is higher
Is a ball's bounce affected by the height from which it is dropped?
yes
Is there a formula to determine the bounce height of a basketball?
No. The bounce height may depend on a variety of factors, especially the hardness of the floor, and the properties of the ball, including the amount of air it has.
How to get the height of the bounce of the ball given the 1st and second bounce?
It all depends on the height the ball has been dropped and the weight of the ball.
Does the height of a ball effect the bounce height?
Yes it does
Does the bounce of a ball effects its bounce height?
Maybe. Maybe not. Suppose you start by telling us what you mean by "the bounce of a ball".

If a ball is dropped from a height of 24 m and with each bounce the ball reaches a height that is half the height of the previous bounce how far has the ball traveled by the time it comes to rest?
72 meters
Does the height that a ball can bounce depend on the size of the ball?
Yes.
