Question

Tennis balls: Must rebound approximately 111 cm when dropped from 200 cm. Soccer balls: Must rebound approximately 120 cm when dropped from 200 cm onto a steel plate. Basketballs: Must rebound approximately 53 .5 inches when dropped from 72 inches onto a wooden floor. Squash balls: Must rebound approximately 29 .5 inches when dropped from 100 inches onto a steel plate at 70∘ Which ball listed above is the bounciest

Answer 1

There is no basis for comparison because the effect of the other variables that are not being studied are not minimized

Explanation:

The rate at which each type of ball bounce are;

Tennis balls;

The height to which the ball is must rebounds ≈ 111 cm

The height from which the ball is dropped = 200 cm

Surface = Steel plate

Basketballs;

The height to which the ball must rebounds ≈ 5.35 inches

The height from which the ball is dropped = 72 inches

Surface = Wooden floor

Squash balls

The height to which the ball must rebounds ≈ 29.5 inches

The height from which the ball is dropped = 100 inches

Steel plate at 70°

Therefore, given that the experimental are performed with different variables of height from which each type of ball is dropped, the surface to which the ball is dropped, the angle of the surface to which the ball is dropped, there is no controlled variable to provide a basis for comparison
