When you drop a rubber ball on the floor it bounces almost to its original height. What causes the ball to bounce?

Answer:
The floor exerts an upward force on the ball -- that stops the ball and gives it an acceleration upward.

This upward force from the floor will cause the ball to deform or change shape while it is in contact with the floor.
