Re: squash ball question



Qualitatively:

Neglecting any changes in the rubber, the higher the temperature,
the higher the pressure in the ball, and correspondingly, the
smaller the distortion of the ball on bouncing. The smaller the
distortion, the smaller the dissipation in the rubber. There
should be no dissipation of energy in the gas. Thus, the higher
the temperature, the smaller the dissipation in the ball on
bouncing.
