@rt5324st Жыл бұрын

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 Жыл бұрын

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 Жыл бұрын

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.

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.

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.

The higher you go, the more the ground absorbs the energy, resulting in less bounce so simple!!

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.

@Zoso14892 Жыл бұрын

I want it to be 440kg but I don't think there's enough left. Those explosions were something else though, the bands flying everywhere was just incredible. Great job catching as much of it as you did¬

Did you factor in the differences in densities of the landing locations? An area of ground could be loamy, clay, gravelly, or have a boulder in it. All very different reactions to those densities.

Losing mass and rubber bands on the bounce disperses energy so the ball won't bounce higher. However the fun and excitement hasn't peaked out!

Terminal velocity of the object means no matter how high you drop it the ball will reach maximum speed at a certain height and no matter how much higher you drop it the speed will be the same.

The height from which the rubber band ball goes depends on the altitude at which it is dropped. The composition of the ground material also comes into play.

I used to work in a stock room/loading dock and we used to get huge rubber bands they would use to hold together pallets of products. They didn't work well at all but they were fun to play with. We mostly just used them to lock people in the bathroom. They were significantly bigger than the ones used here though.
