Respuesta :

I think "Jump" is just using your legs to throw yourself in the air, and bounce is just a smaller version of jump, if that makes any sense.
Think of it this way:

A ball doesn't 'jump' it would 'bounce'.

A jump is something the object does for themselves. A human, a dog, or dolphin would jump. They would start at one position and then go up.

A bounce is usually dropped from a height. Like when you bounce a ball. It doesn't just start at the ground and jump. It uses the force of hitting the floor to come back up.

I hope this helps!
