Number of bounces will depend on the elasticity of the ball....in any case they will be more than those on earth surface (assuming surface similarity)If a ball is dropped from a height of 50m on moons surface how many extra bounces it takes compared to earth?
Interestingly enough, all of you missed a simpe point. Gravity works both days, which means that as the ball is released, due to the lower gravity (1/6th) on the moon, the ball will accelerate slower and therefore impact the moon at a lower speed.
I would say because of this slower acceleration, they would actually bounce the same number of times assuming the same bouncing surface/ball is used for the experiment.If a ball is dropped from a height of 50m on moons surface how many extra bounces it takes compared to earth?
There is gravity on the moon, sorry Linda. The ball would just be going a lot slower when it hits.
The number of bounces depends on how much energy is lost when it hits. Since the moon is covered in a thick layer of dust. Ever bounce a ball on the beach? I think the ball would either not bounce, or bounce only once.
It is lively to go into Moon's sand without bouncing at all.
There is no gravity on the moon What makes you think it would bounce?
