@BlackGryph0n Год назад

12:40 The reason you're losing bounce height is likely because the ball is approaching terminal velocity (where air resistance cancels acceleration). Once this happens, the ball won't bounce any higher no matter how high you drop it from.

@StillSleepYyy Год назад

Yea I think so

@nodangles6983 Год назад

Well you can tell it hasn't quite reached terminal velocity if the crater keeps getting bigger, which probably has more of an effect on the height of the bounce.

@caliconfessions1075 Год назад

@@nodangles6983 Gryph0n is right. It's not the size of the crater that matters. At terminal velocity the hardness of the ground is the only variable in how high will the ball bounce. They could drop it on reinforced concrete and get 60 meters without a crater at all.

@nodangles6983 Год назад

@@caliconfessions1075 The larger crater indicates a higher speed, which means it's coming in at a higher velocity the higher it's dropped, which means terminal velocity had not been reached. The larger the crater, the more energy its construction has taken away from the ball.

@caliconfessions1075 Год назад

@@nodangles6983 the softer the impact site the larger the crater will be and the lower the bounce will be. Balls typically reach terminal velocity around 10 seconds or after falling about 750 feet. 1000 vs 2000 foot drops are going the same speed upon impact the size of the crater is based on the hardness of the ground, not the speed of the object because the speed from 1000 feet and 2000 feet is the same speed. It's called terminal velocity.

@ozcinemarob Год назад

I think the bounce factor would have been far better and more consistent if you dropped the ball on a hard surface instead of grasses filed, which likely absorbed a fair amount of the force - particularly increasing as the high increased.

@blackryan5291 Год назад

I was just gonna say this but you nailed it. Good freaking job Rob.

@shadylampable Год назад

True, but you would need to be pretty sure of your hard surface, that kinda impact could easily break up a concrete road or parking lot

@Crusader1815 Год назад

That's true, but there also needs to be some sort of hard coating applied to the ball to hold the bands together, making it into kinda a giant golf ball. If you've seen golf balls bounce, imagine one six feet in diameter... :D

@blackryan5291 Год назад

@@shadylampable I don't think them guys are worried about breaking the ground up. They love checking the impact crater. LOL. But if they did do it on hard surface rather than grass...I am certain they would avoid doing it in a shopping center parking lot or some ones driveway. I work with concrete everyday making railroad ties. That ball ain't even gonna chip the concrete we make. We pressure test our concrete for Amtrak. It takes a considerable amount of force to cause even a hairline fracture. I don't think a road would stand up though at all unless it was the autobahn highway in Germany or something. European highways carry more traffic and considerably heavier truck weights than U.S. roads so it was built to handle that.

@rt5324st Год назад

The biggest issue in getting a higher bounce from a larger height is terminal velocity from air resistance. The closer an object gets to terminal velocity the less it will accelerate, so even if the distance to the ground is twice as large the velocity is likely significantly less than twice as large due to decreasing acceleration and plateauing velocity which is what happens when an object approaches terminal velocity.

@MrDuno9 Год назад

I'd think that the efficiency of the bounce is the biggest thing. A back of the envelope calculation for the terminal velocity of a 1 ton sphere says terminal velocity is about 72 m/s, and in a vacuum the sphere dropped from 2000 feet would only reach about 108m/s. So drag does play a role, but it can't account for the sphere bouncing only 150/2000 = 7.5% of its drop height. The ball is losing most of its energy to heat as it deforms into a pancake and displaces the dirt. If they dropped a diamond ball on a diamond field (and it weighed the same somehow) I'd expect it to go much much higher, as long as it didn't shatter, despite feeling the same amount of air resistance and having the same terminal velocity

@broski761 Год назад

The diamond ball would shatter no matter what from that high up

@ShiningDarknes Год назад

@@broski761 indeed diamonds are hard but surprisingly brittle. They may be one of the hardest minerals but their molecular structure makes them not take stress well. This is why despite their hardness they are relatively (to their hardness) easy to cut. Dimond is not unbreakable.

@brandonlamondin6228 Год назад

Its actually the amount of energy lost at impact, rendered in heat form or force direction. So terminal velocity is used but not really mentioned because its obvious that terminal velocity must be reached, so why bother mention it...

@oldguydoesstuff120 Год назад

Easiest way to check this is to check the time from release to hitting the ground. Compare the time of the drop to what you'd expect in a vacuum. If there is a significant difference, air resistance is coming into play. And if the time is close to double from 1000 ft to 2000 ft, it's getting to terminal velocity pretty quickly, and going higher isn't going to change anything.

@ZeraSeraphim Год назад

Yeah, I think that's our problem. The Ball has X amount of kinetic energy, but part of X is being diffused to shove the ground out of the way. An object in motion wants to stay that way and all that, but it also wants to keep moving in that same direction, so shoving the ground out of the way is the simplest solution, at least to the eye of natural physics. If that isn't an option, the kinetic force has no choice but to rebound, so...higher bounce :) But where could we find hard enough ground that isn't around people, and nobody would mind if we destroyed it a little? Hm.... is there a military base that we could borrow where drag racing tanks is a common practice?

@rolands50 Год назад

It really needed to be dropped on a far harder surface - ideally solid rock or reinforced concrete. The amount of KE that is absorbed by turfed/grassed soil is amazing. I did a very similar (although much smaller in scale!) project in high-school. Depending on the water-content and density of the soil it would adsorb up to 70% of the kinetic-energy, at impact, of a mass at terminal velocity. We used iron balls (3kg shot-put), 3kg solid-rubber, water-filled polymer and a few others.

@margaretcurrie4093 Год назад

Yes agree and might even crack the concrete.. 👍

@MoMadNU 6 месяцев назад

A fair amount of loss in bounce height can be attributed to losses by way of heat. The faster the bands expand, the more heat gets generated. This temporarily reduces the bands' elasticity, there by delaying the return to resting state while the ball is still in contact with the ground.

@tannerdelaney6369 6 месяцев назад

I know I'm a year late to this, but you could have dropped it from higher to get more energy. A lot of people are commenting saying it's already at terminal velocity. Based on the approximate size, shape, and mass of the ball I would say that even at 2000ft you still have not reached the terminal velocity of the ball. The calculations I ran gave a terminal velocity between 150-200m/s depending on the cross-sectional area of the ball. At 2000ft, the drop time would only allow the ball to reach from about 90-100m/s before impact. Most of the time when people get inaccurate velocity calculations it is because they aren't taking into account air resistance.

It would be cool if you could calculate the amount of energy that is released in these ball drops and compare different kind of explosives to it to find the equivalent. This seems like a great, safer alternative to heavy firecrackers, like that polish stuff.

@aluminumfalcon552 Год назад

The loss of bounce was due to the energy transfer in creating the crater and the full compression of the ball caused a lot of the energy to travel horizontally instead of vertically. The loss of bands had a minor effect with their energy not returning in the form of bounce. Dropping on a more solid surface like concrete would have saved much of the energy. I bet the temperature inside the ball went up substantially too.

Yeah imagine bouncing this from concrete, it would hit the helicopter back :D JK

An old anecdote was like -Here's regular bomb site - it may cause hundreds of casualties. Here's a nuclear bomb site - number of casualties can go to thousands. And here's the rubber bomb site, number of casualties is unknown. -Why? -It's still bouncing..

Those craters were pretty impressive for a fairly soft ball, I'd love to see what an atlas stone or Bruce could do from that height

@Rex-sy8ye Год назад

Makes me understand the whole concept of meteors being scary if a rubber ball falling from that high craters that big

Norway: The only country in the western hemisphere that would allow some crazy guys to drop a 1 ton rubber ball. “What is it going to do?” “I don’t know.” “Ok, approved”

First, I thought "Their rubber ball is a faulty construction!". Then I saw your enthusiasm and how determined you tried your best. And I simply had to think: "Their rubber ball is a lowsy faulty construction!".

@WhatsUpLand 6 месяцев назад

I was part of the Ripleys Believe it or not production where we dropped the worlds largest rubber band ball. The chase helicopter crashed before we got the ball dropped in Kingman Arizona. The results we got were a bit different since we started from a pretty good height. At some point the compression of the ball is enough that it makes heat and also the outer layers of the ball sluff off. I had a melted clump of the ball as a souivineer for years.

out of all RU-vid videos it happened to be this one.. at 5:00 minutes of this video I received a message from my uncle that my grandpa passed away. I wanted to comment this for a long time but I never had the courage because I'm afraid everyone would just ignore it... this RU-vid video means a lot to me because all of my memories that I'm with my grandpa come rushing to my mind... I want to share this because this video holds an extreme experience for me.

@brendan3081 Год назад

IDK if concrete is rated to take that much force in a drop like that but id love to see this again against a solid floor that the band ball cant crater into

The wobble is the force of inertia building up and forcing the massive uneven weight to consolidate up to it's new center of gravity. ✌️😊

@reznovvazileski3193 Год назад

Deformation costs a crapload of energy so it was to be expected that it would drop as soon as it started shedding. That's partially the reason it doesn't scale linearly already on regular bounces but those rubber bands flying off of it had a lot of energy in them that wasn't directed upwards anymore. Another reason could be terminal velocity approaching at some point making sure going higher no longer makes the ball hit harder because all off that juicy energy goes into air displacement.
