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.
