    Trying to understand the bouncing ball

    possibly is it air resistance that slows a ball down when traveling upwards?

    Trying to understand the bouncing ball

    ok so this is where I am at... What is the velocity after the bounce? Use the COR: vi=(COR)(vf)So this is the initial velocity of the second bounce. How high does it get? Again use the conservation of energy, but the other way around: 12mv2=mgh⟹h0=v2i/2gThis is how high up the second bounce...

    Trying to understand the bouncing ball

    oh ye forgot to mention my axis is inverted but i understand what you meant :) the ball now bounces up and gets a lower bounce height until it comes to a stop but its speed of how it moves is always the same... how do you make it go slower on the bounce back up?

    Trying to understand the bouncing ball

    ahh I am confused... ok so let me change it around velocity = force + gravity * (Mathf.Pow(Time.time,2)) so when ball is in air to start it has no force only gravity... when it hits the floor i get the velocity downVelocity = Mathf.Sqrt((2 * (9.8 * startingHeight))) then i work out the new...

    Trying to understand the bouncing ball

    so say I am imitating a tennis ball the COR is roughly 0.75 (going on what someone wrote in other thread) i think my problem maybe i apply gravity in beginning but never add a force(if any) so when it hits the floor how does the new velocity alter the speed in which it bounces back up?

    Trying to understand the bouncing ball

    hi all, ok i read another post from this forum about the bouncing ball but i didnt want to start asking questions when i never made the thread ok so I am programming a program that starts with a ball in the air and it will automatically start to fall here is a simplified look at my code to...
