What do you observe about a bounce:

When the bouncing object goes up, what immediately happens?

Thanks.

1. The arms go down?

2. It decelerates to a velocity minimum of 0 at the top.

3. Then it goes down

Has an inelastic collision with the ground where it loses some of its kinetic energy, goes back up again, decelerates to 0, and repeats.
