Crazy tic tac bounce!? | EVERYDAY MYSTERIES

The video explores the mystery of tic tacs bouncing higher on the second bounce. It investigates the phenomenon using high-speed footage and explains the physics behind it, focusing on energy conservation and rotational dynamics. The challenge is to make a tic tac bounce higher than its drop height by imparting spin, which is achieved through experimentation and understanding of the underlying physics.

What unusual behavior was observed with tic tacs when they bounce?

• They never bounce on the second bounce.

• They always bounce lower on the second bounce.

• They bounce in a straight line.

• They sometimes bounce higher on the second bounce.

What tool was used to capture the tic tac's bouncing behavior?

• A Phantom high-speed camera

• A thermal camera

• A smartphone camera

• A regular video camera

What causes the tic tac to start spinning during a bounce?

• Its round shape

• Being thrown with force

• Hitting the table on one side first

• Being dropped from a great height

Why doesn't a ball return to its original height after bouncing?

• It gains energy from the ground

• It loses energy to heat

• It gains rotational energy

• It loses mass

What type of energy is involved when the tic tac spins?

• Chemical energy

• Rotational kinetic energy

• Thermal energy

• Potential energy

What was the challenge set out in the video?

• To make a tic tac bounce lower than its drop height

• To make a tic tac bounce higher than its drop height

• To make a tic tac bounce in a straight line

• To make a tic tac not bounce at all

How did the narrator suggest increasing the tic tac's bounce height?

• By using a different surface

• By dropping it from a higher point

• By adding weight to the tic tac

• By imparting a spin when dropping it
