Why does a ball spin the opposite direction after it hits the ground?

ANSWER it has to do with the way the ball is launched. if theres a topspin on the ball, when the ball hits the ground, it will pick up speed on contact. if it is spinning back toward you, upon contact with the ground, it will most likely bounce back at you. did i help any?

Why does a rubber ball bounce on a hard surface?
The energy exerted when the runner ball hits the hard surface is compacted and then repelled in the opposite direction. It's basic kinetics. :)
Where do energy of the ball go after it hits the ground?
Assuming the ball doesn't rebound: The energy is dissipated. That means it is spread out, as unusable forms of energy; most of it will heat the ball and the ground.
Which ball size will bounce the highest?
Bounce height will not depend on the ball's radius. It will however depend on the material of the ball and the speed at which it hits the ground
What is the acceleration of a 4kg ball tossed vertically upward when the ball is at its highest point?
No matter what the mass of the ball is, or what direction you toss it, it has the same acceleration from the moment it leaves your hand until it hits the ground ... the acceleration due to gravity, on Earth or wherever you're playing the game, pointing down. On Earth, it's 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2.
When a 1.5 kg ball hits the ground what is the Potential energy?
PE = m•g•h, where m is mass in kg, g is 9.8m/s2, and h is height above the earth in meters. When the ball hits the ground, it is zero meters above the earth, therefore its PE is zero.
Which direction will ball spin when it hits the ground?
A ball doesn't start spinning just because it has hit the ground. It might roll or bounce but not spin. If it does then it depends on the spin you put on it before it hits the ground.
