Bouncing Balls

"Bouncing Balls" explores the fascinating science behind a seemingly simple action, revealing the complex interplay of physics at work. It examines how gravity, elasticity, and energy transfer dictate the behavior of bouncing balls, unlocking insights applicable to sports, engineering, and materials science. For example, understanding the coefficient of restitution helps explain why different balls bounce to varying heights. The book systematically unravels this complexity, starting with core concepts like kinetic and potential energy.

It then delves into the role of gravity and air resistance, examining the material properties of various balls, from basketballs to tennis balls. High-speed video analysis and force sensors are used to measure key parameters.

The book integrates theoretical explanations with real-world examples and experimental evidence, bridging the gap between abstract Physics concepts and tangible observations. It progresses from theoretical mechanics to experimental validation and pragmatic implications, making it valuable for students, sports enthusiasts, and educators alike.
