Justin was disappointed that the bounce he got from playing cricket on the basketball court was not the same on the playing field. The experiment aims to investigate whether the ratio of the difference between the initial height and rebound height over the number of sheets of paper towels is constant. The method involves releasing a table tennis ball from 80cm onto a varying number of sheets of paper towels and recording the rebound heights.

Observation: Justin was playing cricket at lunch on the basketball court.
When the older boys came out, his friends and him decided to go to the playing field. Justin was disappointed that the initial bounce he was getting from the court was not reciprocated on the field.
Hypothesis: The rebound height of a ball is dependant the surface
ℎ0 −ℎ1 Aim: To Investigate whether the ratio has a constant value 𝑛
Apparatus & Materials:
metre rule, retort stand, 8 sheets of paper towel, table tennis
Experiment:
table tennis ball
Method:
A table tennis ball is released from a height ho, of 80 cm, onto a number of sheets of paper towel on a bench top. The height of rebound, hr, changes with the number of sheets of paper towel used.
