Bouncing Ball experiment


In this experiment we bounce two balls together. The bounciness of the ball is elasticity. When you drop the balls together, the potential energy of ball #1 is transformed into Kinetic energy when it hits the ground. The ball #2 gets more energy because it already has potential energy. But ball #2 also uses the kinetic energyfrom ball #1 that already hit the ground. So you will see ball #2 fly in the air. Watch out here it comes!
