Can You Hear the Ball Bounce?
Most students instinctively know already that for each consecutive bounce, a ball will reach slightly less height than in the bounce before. They may have even explored the mathematical model that describes how the height decreases for a series of bounces, like the one shown in Figure 1. In p...https://education.ti.com/en/bulletinboard/ball-bounce-activity
