The International Table Tennis Federation specifies that the ball shall bounce up 24–26 cm when dropped from a height of 30.5 cm on to a standard steel block, [7] implying a COR of 0.887 to 0.923. The International Basketball Federation (FIBA) rules require that the ball rebound to a height of between 1035 and 1085 mm when dropped from a ...
When dropped from a height of 100 inches (254 cm), the bounce must be 54–60 in (137–152 cm) for Type 1 balls, 53–58 in (135–147 cm) for Type 2 and Type 3 balls, and 48–53 in (122–135 cm) for High Altitude balls. [45]
Taking velocities upwards as positive, as the balls fall from the same height and the large ball rebounds off the floor with the same speed, v 1 = −v 2 (the negative sign denoting the direction reversed). Thus Plot of maximum ideal rebound height ratio (r h) vs mass ratio (r m) for a two-ball Galilean cannon
A bouncing ball captured with a stroboscopic flash at 25 images per second. Each impact of the ball is inelastic, meaning that energy dissipates at each bounce. Ignoring air resistance, the square root of the ratio of the height of one bounce to that of the preceding bounce gives the coefficient of restitution for the ball/surface impact.
The path of this projectile launched from a height y 0 has a range d. In physics, a projectile launched with specific initial conditions will have a range. It may be more predictable assuming a flat Earth with a uniform gravity field, and no air resistance. The horizontal ranges of a projectile are equal for two complementary angles of ...
A superball or power ball is a bouncy ball composed of a type of synthetic rubber (originally a hard elastomer polybutadiene alloy named Zectron) invented in 1964, which has a higher coefficient of restitution (0.92) than older balls such as the Spaldeen so that when dropped from a moderate height onto a level hard surface, it will bounce nearly all the way back up.
On superhydrophobic surfaces, liquid drops are observed to bounce off of the solid surface. Richard and Quéré showed that a small liquid drop was able to bounce off of a solid surface over 20 times before coming to rest. [6] Of particular interest is the length of time that the drop remains in contact with the solid surface.
A ricochet (/ ˈ r ɪ k ə ʃ eɪ / RIK-ə-shay; French:) is a rebound, bounce, or skip off a surface, particularly in the case of a projectile. Most ricochets are caused by accident and while the force of the deflection decelerates the projectile, it can still be energetic and almost as dangerous as before the deflection.
