Homework Statement
Why does a ball bounce less and less high, even though the force exerted by the ground on the ball is the same, due to Newton's third law. I do understand the ball loses energy as heat energy.
Homework Equations
F=ma ; F1=-F2
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm just curious why this happens. Thanks. I know the ball loses kinetic energy, and I know that the force initially applied on the ball determines the height of the bounce.
