Pressure in a Basketball is 2 sided. First you want the ball to react well when you bounce it so you do not become fatigued bouncing the ball. Second, you want the ball to be less reactive at the rim so it will stay there longer and perhaps fall in.
The normal inflation pressure is from 7 to 9 pounds. Exceeding the pressure will cause the ball to loose its shape and fail prematurely; be less playable.
The pressure from the air inside of it
The more air pressure within a basketball, the more capable it is to bounce efficiently, rather than a basketball with little air pressure.
yes because if it has too much air it will either bounce high or explode and if it has not enough air it wont bounce very well
Yes. A full basketball with medium to high pressure will clearly bounce higher than a flat basketball with low pressure.
The air in a basketball lets the basketball bounce.
== == The proper air pressure in an NBA basketball is around 7 1/12 to 8 1/2 lbs.
A basketball will typically bounce higher than a baseball or soccer ball due to its higher air pressure and elastic properties of its material. However, factors such as the surface on which they bounce and the force with which they are dropped can also affect the height of the bounce.
the temperature of a basketball effects it's bounce because the air partacles in the ball slow down causing it to lose pressure and it doesn't bounce as well. if a ball has more pressure it bounces better.
The leather is put on the basketball for grip, wear and tear, and consistency. The bounce of the ball comes from the rubber bladder that the leather is surrounding. Air pressure and the quality of the ball effect it's bounce more than the leather.
The ball will dribble to high and out of control and if it hits rim or backboard It could bounce off
Sure, when the ball gets compressed, the air pressure increases. This will help drive the ball up again.
i know that a basketball will because if it has nothing in it, it won't bounce. right? but when you put more helium in, it will bounce high. but if you put to much in it, it might explode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
