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.

Write a method to reflect the above

Variables:

Controlled: release height

Manipulated: number of paper towels

Responding: rebound height
