    How can a ball rise higher than originally dropped?

    So here is a case where a ball is thrown on the floor with no friction. Then is a case with frictionNow what I don't understand is how is the presence of friction going to make the normal force larger than usual. The friction is dependent on the normal force, not the other way around. And the...
