In my physics lab we need to determine the factors that account for the energy "loss" during a high bounce ball bounce. I know that energy is "lost" (not really) to heat, air resistance, and sound. The problem is we have not been taught how to calculate air resistance (we also can't use what we haven't learned), and I don't know how to calculate sound and heat individually. Wouldn't momentum have something to do with it? I need two factors that a regular high school physics can calculate.
