Why is basketball hollow?
If a basketball were not hollow, it would be extremely heavy and would not bounce.
Will grass make a basketball bounce?
No,of course not, the friction between the basketball and the grass would make the ball bounce less.
If you dropped a basketball a soccer ball and a kickball which would bounce higher?
Since I just did this, (LOL) I would have to say that it mosyley depends o the amount of air that is pumped into each of them. ...Your welcome... ~M.salling1
What bounces higher a golf ball or basketball?
If you were bouncing them both, a basketball would bounce higher.
Would a wooden ball bounce higher or a rubber ball bounce higher if dropped from the same height?
rubber ball
Are you allowed to stop then bounce in basketball?
No, that would be called double dribble and yes if you receive the ball, stop then you can bounce.
What can you change in a basketball bounce?
well i would kick it or something hahaha
How high will a basketball bounce if dropped?
If we knew from what height the ball, when dropped, would reach its terminal velocity, and if we knew the percentage of rebound the ball would give, we could then be certain. I can only guess that a basketball will rebound approximately 75% of the height from which it is dropped, and if the height at which it would reach terminal velocity is maybe 300 feet, the ball would bounce back up to 225 feet. Just a guess! A basketball has an elasticity (or "bounciness") of about 56 percent.I'm not sure there's a theoretical limit. In practice, of course, there would be one: when the velocity of the ball impacting the ground is so great the ball explodes rather than bouncing. But you'd have to fire it out of some kind of basketball cannon to get it moving that fast.The official standard for ball inflation is that the ball should bounce roughly 75% of its drop height (specifically, between 49" and 54") when dropped from 6 feet. If you're referring to just the height a dropped ball could bounce and you're not throwing it down with some kind of basketball-downward-hurling machine, you could calculate the theoretical bounce height by figuring out what terminal velocity is for a basketball, calculating how high you'd have to drop it from (assuming no atmosphere) to achieve that velocity, and then multiplying by 0.75. I'm not going to do it for you, because I'm not actually all that interested in the answer, but that's how you could do it if you are.
If 100 percent of the balls kinetic energy were converted back to potential energy how high would the ball bounce?
The ball would bounce back to where it was dropped.
How high will a basketball bounce on concrete grass and carpet?
A basketball will bounce more on concrete because it is a flatter surface then carpet and grass
Can a basketball be shaped like a football?
No...It would bounce all over the place...
Why would a basketball at room temperature bounce higher than a frozen basketball?
The basketball at room temperature has more energy, because cold is just the absence of energy. The ball that is frozen would not bounce as high because it is wanting to stay in that shape, and has less time to react.
