Viscoelastic Bounce

Written by

in

When a solid sphere impacts a droplet, it forms a liquid bridge as the ball rebounds, but a viscoelastic sphere carries the drop back up with it

Why does one droplet rebound and the other doesn't?

Whether the droplet completely leaves the surface depends on the height from which the viscoelastic sphere is dropped.
