%0 Journal Article %T Temperature Dependence of the Coefficient of Restitution for a Rubber Ball %A Yoshitaka Tamiya %J International School Bangkok Journal of Physics %D 2010 %I %X The relationship between the temperature and the coefficient of restitution of a polybutadiene superball was investigated. The ball was released from a fixed height and tracked with a motion detector as it bounced. The coefficient of restitution at temperatures ranging from 223K to 341K was determined. It was found that the relationship was inversely exponential, approaching a maximum above 300K. %K superball %K Coefficient of Restitution %K Temperature %U http://www.isb.ac.th/HS/JoP/vol4iss1/jan10.html
