Bounce Lab Conclusion
If the ball is dropped from a high place then the kinetic energy will rise and the ball will bounce higher because of the amount of kinetic energy. My hypothesis was correct as it stands and the ball did bounce higher when they were dropped higher. The ball however had different bounce abilities as the golf ball was small, aerodynamic and bounced higher. The dodge ball was large, soft, not very aerodynamic and didn't bounce high. For future experiments we could have tested more balls and changed the heights to be more widespread. Our only major errors were not dropping the ball from the exact same place every time as it could have affected our bounce heights. In conclusion, this lab was a success and we enjoyed learning about energy and how it came into play with this experiment.
