Drop a ball and investigate what changes how high it bounces.
| Bounce | Height (meters) |
|---|---|
| 1 | ? |
| 2 | ? |
| 3 | ? |
| 4 | ? |
| 5 | ? |
Run the simulation, change one setting, and run it again. Each finished run is saved below so you can compare your experiments and write about what you found.
No experiments saved yet. Press Simulate and let the ball bounce. When the run finishes, it will be recorded here automatically.
| Run | Drop Height | Elasticity | Mass | Bounce 1 | Bounce 2 | Bounce 3 |

Note: This is a simplified model that focuses on how drop height and elasticity affect bounce height. It leaves out real-world factors like air resistance, the type of floor, and energy lost as sound or heat, so you can clearly see the main physics ideas.
