physics: how does the surface of the ground effect the bouncing of a ball explain in physics term?

Question

GCSE level ansers

Answer 1

As the ball hits the ground, its momentum causes its elastic body to compress itself against the ground until enough force had been applied through enough distance to cancel the momentum of the ball and bring it to a stop. At the instant the ball comes to a stop, it has energy stored in it due to the compression of its body against the ground. This compressive energy is then released in pressing against the ground, causing the ball to accelerate upward.

Answer 2

I don't know the exact answer but look up Newton's 3rd law I believe. It says that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Therefore the ball forces action on the ground which in turn acts back putting force into the ball and bouncing it. The reason it can not bounce forever is because gravity restricts the bounce that the ball gets from the ground

Answer 3

Do you really mean effect? Or were you thinking affect when you typed it?

If you meant effect then the ground is there and it's solid, the ball is also solid and they can't pass through one another, the ball must either stop or bounce but it's the ball that does the bouncing, not the ground (unless the ground is a special sort of elastic ground).

Answer 4

a ball bounces off the ground because of the gravity between any two object and how much mass each object contains.
