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.
Answer Yes. A basketball with no air will not bounce as much as a basketball with the right amount of air .
I know from experience that the best air pressure for bouncing a basketball is as full as you can get it.
That all depends how much helium you put in it. A basketball should be able to take the same amount of pressure, whether it's pressure from air or helium. So, if you inflate it only to the recommended pressure, it should be a problem. The same amount of pressure of helium will be less mass, so in the end the basketball will be lighter, as you would probably expect, by a very small amount.
The more air pressure within a basketball, the more capable it is to bounce efficiently, rather than a basketball with little air pressure.
air pressure is what give the ball its weight and its bounce
The answer depends on the pressure when the air is let out of the basketball.
the more air pressure that better it bounces
Yes, it does with out air pressure the basketball will not bounce high as it's supposed to. It might also not bounce at all.
1.5 Kilos is the heaviest a basketball can weigh, if aired up to its highest possible air pressure. But at recommended air pressure a basketball will weigh about 800 grams.
Yes. A full basketball with medium to high pressure will clearly bounce higher than a flat basketball with low pressure.
== == The proper air pressure in an NBA basketball is around 7 1/12 to 8 1/2 lbs.
it will go into the air
earths average air pressure is 1013mb where as mars average air pressure is 7mb
air pressure is the amount of air pushing down on you and high pressure is air that rises.
NBA regulation requires to be 7.5 to 8.5 pounds in air pressure.:)
NBA rules state a basketball's air pressure should be between 7.5 and 8.5 pounds.
The average air pressure inside the space shuttle is 1,033 grams per square centimeter. This measurement mimics the amount of air pressure measured on Earth at sea level.
Air pressure in a room is less than that of a basketball since it does not crush the basketball. Think of the crushed can experiment. If you empty a soda can, flip it upside down, put it (carefully) on a boiling pot of water, the can will fill with hot air. You then transfer the can on a container with cold water (making sure the opening of the can is covered with the cold water). You should see the can implode or at least the outside air pressure (since it's greater than that of the air pressure in the can) crush the can. Opposite of the basketball.
Air pressure is affected by the amount of air above and the air temperature.
Air pressure creates a 'base amount' of pressure to the scuba divers. There is the effect that it adds on a small amount of pressure as well as the water pressure.
Pressure is the ratio of mass per volume. Adding more air (mass) into the fixed volume of the ball increases the pressure inside it. A basketball cannot expand much even when the pressure inside is higher than the outside air.
Because - the skin of the basketball 'locks' the air inside so it can't dissipate. The more air you pump into it - the higher the pressure gets.... until it bursts.
