This simulation is not currently compatible with cell phones. However, it works seamlessly on iPads, computers, and other larger devices. For the best experience, please access the simulation using one of these devices. Thank you for your understanding!
Directions
Choose the Drop Height
Use the slider to set how high the ball starts.Set the Elasticity
This controls how bouncy the ball is (0 = no bounce, 0.9 = very bouncy).Adjust the Ball’s Mass
This doesn’t affect the bounce height in this simulation but is included for testing.Click “Simulate”
Watch the ball bounce! The table shows how high each bounce goes.Try “Pause” or “Reset”
Pause stops the motion. Reset clears everything so you can test again.

Note: This simulation is a simplified model designed to highlight the relationship between drop height and elasticity. It focuses on core physics concepts in an idealized environment. Real-world factors like air resistance, floor material, and energy loss to sound or heat are not included.
