    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

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Calculating Accelerations of Block & Toboggan on Ice

    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 kinetic friction...
