If a basketball is properly inflated, it should rebound after bouncing on the ground to about one-Half the height from which it was dropped. If the ball is dropped from 20 feet, how high will it bounce back after the sixth bounce?

Updated: 4/4/2022

This can be represented by the following exponential decay education: y=a(b^x) Use the equation! Y= Height the ball bounce back a= Initial height b= Fraction of the bounces the ball rebounds x= Number of bounces

How high will a basketball bounce if it is dropped 12 feet out of the air?

If properly inflated, it will bounce 8 times. Each bounce rebounds about 70%, so 14 feet on the first bounce, then about 10 on the second, etc. until the ball is bigger than the bounce.

2005 Toyota rav4 Why does the tire pressure light keep coming on?

I have a 2008 Toyota RAV4. When the weather dropped below zero the tire pressure light came on. Checking the PSI indicated less than a 2 PSI change ( dropped from 32 to 30). With the tire pressure properly inflated the light did not go off. I discovered that the spare has a transmitter as well and was well below pressure. Properly inflating the spare corrected the issue of the tire pressure light.

Which would go faster a D-inflated football or a inflated football?

An inflated football is essentially more aerodynamic than a deflated football. The inflated one would travel faster and a greater distance. However, if you dropped them both at the same time, they would it the ground at the same time, because gravity pulls everything downward at 9.81 meters per second squared (ignoring the effects of air resistance in this last case).


Does the brand of basketball affect how high or low it bounces?

Basketballs are inflated with air to make them bounce. When inflated, the basketball's elastic bladder is capable of rebounding when dropped or dribbled on a hard surface. In general, the higher the air pressure is inside the basketball, the higher it will bounce.
