Bouncing Ball on an Incline

A ball dropped onto a slope bounces in ever-shifting parabolic hops.

About this simulation

A ball dropped onto an inclined plane rebounds again and again — each bounce a fresh projectile launch, damped by the coefficient of restitution e. Students vary the incline angle θ, drop height h and restitution e and watch how the spacing and height of successive bounces evolve. A clean way to connect projectile motion, collisions and energy loss.
