Answer:
The force of the floor pushing against the ball throws the ball back up into the air. The reason it doesn't bounce higher than where it started is simple: some of the ball's energy is lost as heat when it bounces, so it doesn't have as much going up as it did coming down.

A ball doesn't bounce as high during the second bounce as they do in the first.
- It's obvious why it doesn't rebound higher than it was when it first started as the ball bounces, part of its heat is a form of energy loss., so it doesn't have as much energy going up as it had coming down.
- Let's look at the energy of the ball assuming an indefinitely hard and flat surface.
- The initial potential energy of a ball dropped from a height of h is mgh. You'd expect it to accelerate to a certain speed.
v=√2gh.
- During the descent, however, it will be subjected to air drag.
- Some of the ball's energy will be dissipated into air energy as a result of this (turbulence, heating, flow). The size of this effect is determined by the ball, its height, and other factors.
- During impact, the ball's centre of mass strives to keep travelling, while the surface it touches tries to stop it.
- The ball's potential energy was turned into elastic energy. You may envision the ball's mass is coupled to a spring that compresses when you contact the floor, but friction (both inside the ball and between the ball and the floor) wastes energy.
