Beverly the Bouncing Ball eBook: https://amzn.to/2NXfaVo Beverly the Bouncing Ball Paperback: https://amzn.to/2tYYSSR My Other Children's Books: https://amzn.to/2EDUuNJ We can all look back on our childhood memories and find in some form or fashion a bouncing ball. Whether it be shooting hoops with friends or tossing a tennis ball against the wall while we were grounded, we've all played with these bouncing toys. While to most people balls are rather unassuming objects, they actually serve as a rather interesting springboard into learning about many interesting physics phenomena. Acceleration, velocity, energy; you can learn it all when you start looking at the physics behind bouncing balls. In any ball bounce, there are essentially 7 stages that the action can be broken into during its motion, before, during, and after impact is examined. Let's break down the physics of bouncing balls.
