  1. Bouncing Balls

  2. Question: • If you place a tennis ball on a basketball and drop this stack on the ground, how high will the tennis ball bounce? • To approximately its original height. • Much higher than its original height. • Much less than its original height.

  3. ObservationsAbout Bouncing Balls • Some balls bounce better than others • Underinflated balls bounce poorly • Balls don’t bounce higher than they started • Ball can bounce from moving objects

  4. Bouncing fromRigid, Motionless Surfaces • Approaching ball has KE – “collision” KE. • During impact, ball has elastic PE. • Rebounding ball has KE – “rebound” KE. • Some collision energy becomes thermal. • “Lively” balls lose little energy. • “Dead” balls lose much energy. • In general: rebound KE < collision KE

  5. Coefficient of Restitution • Measure of a ball’s liveliness. • Ratio of outgoing to incoming speeds. Coefficient of restitution = Outgoing speed / Incoming speed

  6. Bouncing fromElastic, Motionless Surfaces • Both ball and surface dent during bounce. • Work is proportional to dent distance. • Denting surface stores & returns energy. • “Lively” surface loses little energy. • “Dead” surface loses much energy. • Surface has a coefficient of restitution, too.

  7. Bouncing fromMoving Surfaces • Incoming speed ® Approaching speed. • Outgoing speed ® Separating speed. • Coefficient of Restitution becomes: Coefficient of restitution = Separating speed / Approaching speed

  8. Ball and BatPart 1 • Ball approaches home plate at 100 km/h. • Bat approaches pitcher at 100 km/h. • Approaching speed is 200 km/h.

  9. Ball and BatPart 2 • Approaching speed is 200 km/h. • Baseball’s Coefficient of Restitution: 0.55. • Separating speed is 110 km/h.

  10. Ball and BatPart 3 • Separating speed is 110 km/h. • Bat approaches pitcher at 100 km/h. • Ball approaches pitcher at 210 km/h.

  11. Question: • If you place a tennis ball on a basketball and drop this stack on the ground, how high will the tennis ball bounce? • To approximately its original height. • Much higher than its original height. • Much less than its original height.

  12. Bouncing’sEffects on Objects • Bouncing involves momentum transfer • Momentum transferred while stopping • Momentum transferred while rebounding • A better bounce transfers more momentum • Bouncing can involve energy transfer • Together, these transfers govern bouncing • Identical elastic balls transfer motion perfectly

  13. Impact Forces • Harder surfaces bounce faster • Momentum is transferred faster • Time is shorter, so force is larger • No one likes bouncing off hard surfaces

  14. Ball’s Effectson a Bat • Ball pushes bat back and twists it, too • When ball hits bat’s center of percussion, • backward and rotational motions balance. • handle doesn’t jerk. • When ball hits vibrational node • bat doesn’t vibrate. • more energy goes into ball.

  15. SummaryAbout Bouncing Balls • Each ball has a coefficient of restitution • Energy lost in a bounce becomes thermal • The surface can affect a ball’s bounce • Surfaces bounce, too.
