Stacked Ball Drop

The video explores the physics of bouncing balls, using a basketball, super-bouncy ball, and golf ball to demonstrate energy transfer and momentum. The golf ball's bounce height is analyzed, showing it can reach 800% of its drop height. The video explains how energy is transferred between balls, similar to a trampoline double bounce, and draws an analogy to supernova explosions, where energy from a dense core is transferred outward. Practical tips for conducting the experiment are provided, emphasizing the importance of alignment.

What is the significance of the basketball's mass in the energy transfer process?

What precautions should be taken when trying the experiment with the balls at home?
