Question

Why a tennis ball bounces higher on hills than on plains ?

Answer 1

Hi,

Here is your answer,

As the acceleration due to gravity on hills is less than that on the surface of the earth ( effect of height), therefore, a tennis ball bounces higher on the hills than on plains.


Hope it helps you !

Answer 2

The maximum height of a projectile is inversely proportional to the value of acceleration due to gravity. So, smaller the acceleration due to gravity, greater is the maximum height. Since, the value of acceleration due to gravity is less on the hills than on the plains, therefore a tennis ball will bounce higher on the hills than in plains.
