How does energy effect how high balls bounce when dropped? How can we transfer energy from one ball to another to make it bounce higher?We might not be able to see atoms but we definitely see the vivd and sometimes volatile effects when changes occur? Join JT for a unique chemistry experience with liquid nitrogen.
