How high can a basketball bounce?In: Basketball |
[Edit] |
From what height?
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!
Good explanation but bad guess
A basketball has an elasticity (or "bounciness") of about 56 percent.
