Why does the initial velocity of a bouncing ball increase with each bounce?
Thanks you so much! I really appreciate your help... as i work through this I hope there are no more problems :) thanks- NKKM

Why does the initial velocity of a bouncing ball increase with each bounce?
k that makes sense so to answer this question: 1) For each interval, write down the values of the three fit parameters A, B and C. By comparing equations for kinematics and the quadratic equation, interpret the meaning of each parameter and how they are related to the position, velocity and...- NKKM

Why does the initial velocity of a bouncing ball increase with each bounce?
well what i need to do first is figure out what the coefficients in the equation of the graph mean: so a = 1/2 * gravitational acceleration b = initial velocity of the ball - why does this increase with each bounce; the question states that it should increase but I don't understand why and...- NKKM

Why does the initial velocity of a bouncing ball increase with each bounce?
thanks for the tip http://www.imagevimage.com/images/2_Bouncing_Ball_Graph.jpg here is the link I am still confused as to why the initial velocity for each bounce appears to increase. In addition, in the quadratic equation: c should be equal to initial displacement? But the numbers are so...- NKKM

Why does the initial velocity of a bouncing ball increase with each bounce?
I have a bouncing ball quadratic equation and know that B represents the initial velocity. My question is why does B the initial velocity increase with each bounce of the ball. It seems paradoxical to me, particularly if total energy is decreasing. y=ax^2 + bx + C I have attached...- NKKM

Box on a Toboggan - Newton's Laws
Homework Statement HI, I am confused about how to approach this question. A 4.0 kg toboggan rests on a frictionless icy surface, and a 2.0 kg block rests on top of the toboggan. The coefficient of static friction m s between the block and the surface of the toboggan is 0.60, whereas the...- NKKM
