Undergrad Initial height of a bouncing ball and energy lost
For our labs we have to equate the equation we found for our graphs to one that we learned in class. I looked up the coefficient of restitution, but saw that it related more to kinetic energy and velocity than to potential energy and height. Does it relate to GPE as well? -
Challenges in Conceptual Physics: Exploring the Complexities of Understanding
Hi! My name is Anna. I'm 18 years old and am currently enrolled in IB HL Physics 3-4 at my high school. Next year I'll be attending Northwestern University where I will be studying manufacturing and design engineering. Overall, physics makes sense, but it takes me a while to understand the...- tink7718

Undergrad Initial height of a bouncing ball and energy lost
I am doing a lab in my senior physics class (IB HL Physics 3-4) and I am very confused about a relationship that I found. For my experiment I dropped a racquetball from different heights and then used video analysis to find the height of the ball on its final bounce. I used this data to...
