Question

Two students are trying to measure how high a ball bounces when it is dropped from different heights. They dropped a ball from P and it bounced up till Q. They now have to record two measurements as shown below. Which measurements should they take?A.A B.B C.C D.D

Answer 1

Answer:

A.A

Explanation:

The balls usually bounce 60% of the original height because it stores 60% of the energy it had before the bounce. When a ball is dropped from a great height it has kinetic energy before it hits the ground which is the result of the bounce of ball. The size of ball does matter in this case, Large balls will bounce higher.
