    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...

    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...
