The biggest issue in getting a higher bounce from a larger height is terminal velocity from air resistance. The closer an object gets to terminal velocity the less it will accelerate, so even if the distance to the ground is twice as large the velocity is likely significantly less than twice as large due to decreasing acceleration and plateauing velocity which is what happens when an object approaches terminal velocity.
@MrDuno9
@MrDuno9 Рік тому
I'd think that the efficiency of the bounce is the biggest thing. A back of the envelope calculation for the terminal velocity of a 1 ton sphere says terminal velocity is about 72 m/s, and in a vacuum the sphere dropped from 2000 feet would only reach about 108m/s. So drag does play a role, but it can't account for the sphere bouncing only 150/2000 = 7.5% of its drop height. The ball is losing most of its energy to heat as it deforms into a pancake and displaces the dirt. If they dropped a diamond ball on a diamond field (and it weighed the same somehow) I'd expect it to go much much higher, as long as it didn't shatter, despite feeling the same amount of air resistance and having the same terminal velocity

Its actually the amount of energy lost at impact, rendered in heat form or force direction. So terminal velocity is used but not really mentioned because its obvious that terminal velocity must be reached, so why bother mention it...
@oldguydoesstuff120
@oldguydoesstuff120 Рік тому
Easiest way to check this is to check the time from release to hitting the ground. Compare the time of the drop to what you'd expect in a vacuum. If there is a significant difference, air resistance is coming into play. And if the time is close to double from 1000 ft to 2000 ft, it's getting to terminal velocity pretty quickly, and going higher isn't going to change anything.

@@shadylampable I don't think them guys are worried about breaking the ground up. They love checking the impact crater. LOL. But if they did do it on hard surface rather than grass...I am certain they would avoid doing it in a shopping center parking lot or some ones driveway. I work with concrete everyday making railroad ties. That ball ain't even gonna chip the concrete we make. We pressure test our concrete for Amtrak. It takes a considerable amount of force to cause even a hairline fracture. I don't think a road would stand up though at all unless it was the autobahn highway in Germany or something. European highways carry more traffic and considerably heavier truck weights than U.S. roads so it was built to handle that.

@@nodangles6983 the softer the impact site the larger the crater will be and the lower the bounce will be. Balls typically reach terminal velocity around 10 seconds or after falling about 750 feet. 1000 vs 2000 foot drops are going the same speed upon impact the size of the crater is based on the hardness of the ground, not the speed of the object because the speed from 1000 feet and 2000 feet is the same speed. It's called terminal velocity.

Yeah, I think that's our problem. The Ball has X amount of kinetic energy, but part of X is being diffused to shove the ground out of the way. An object in motion wants to stay that way and all that, but it also wants to keep moving in that same direction, so shoving the ground out of the way is the simplest solution, at least to the eye of natural physics. If that isn't an option, the kinetic force has no choice but to rebound, so...higher bounce :) But where could we find hard enough ground that isn't around people, and nobody would mind if we destroyed it a little? Hm.... is there a military base that we could borrow where drag racing tanks is a common practice?

A fair amount of loss in bounce height can be attributed to losses by way of heat. The faster the bands expand, the more heat gets generated. This temporarily reduces the bands' elasticity, there by delaying the return to resting state while the ball is still in contact with the ground.

It really needed to be dropped on a far harder surface - ideally solid rock or reinforced concrete. The amount of KE that is absorbed by turfed/grassed soil is amazing. I did a very similar (although much smaller in scale!) project in high-school. Depending on the water-content and density of the soil it would adsorb up to 70% of the kinetic-energy, at impact, of a mass at terminal velocity. We used iron balls (3kg shot-put), 3kg solid-rubber, water-filled polymer and a few others.

It would be cool if you could calculate the amount of energy that is released in these ball drops and compare different kind of explosives to it to find the equivalent. This seems like a great, safer alternative to heavy firecrackers, like that polish stuff.

The loss of bounce was due to the energy transfer in creating the crater and the full compression of the ball caused a lot of the energy to travel horizontally instead of vertically. The loss of bands had a minor effect with their energy not returning in the form of bounce. Dropping on a more solid surface like concrete would have saved much of the energy. I bet the temperature inside the ball went up substantially too.

Deformation costs a crapload of energy so it was to be expected that it would drop as soon as it started shedding. That's partially the reason it doesn't scale linearly already on regular bounces but those rubber bands flying off of it had a lot of energy in them that wasn't directed upwards anymore. Another reason could be terminal velocity approaching at some point making sure going higher no longer makes the ball hit harder because all off that juicy energy goes into air displacement.
