Hi tired,

I agree with the previous Expert's suggestion.
In fact you can easily answer this question yourself by conducting an experiment.

Following the Scientific bleep: First come up with a question. Then guess an answer (hypothesis). Then test it with an experiment. Then come up with an answer.

Take a ball and drop it from different height and see how many bounces you get. That simple.
Make sure to use the same ball and the same location for each drop.

Hey let us know of your findings.

Good luck !
