Two idential solid balls, one of ivory and the other of wet caly, are dropped from the same height on the floor. Which one will rise to a greater height after striking the floor and why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since, ivory ball is more elastic than wet-clay ball, therefore, ivory ball tries to regain its original shape quickly. Hence, more energy and momentum is transferred to the ivory ball in comparison to the wet clay ball and therefore, ivory ball will rise higher after striking the floor.
