Best Answer

It depends on:

1. How well inflated it is - higher inflation means it's more elastic and will rebound to a higher percentage of the height it was dropped from, and


2. How high it was dropped from/ how hard it was thrown down.

A basket ball bounces highest at 9 psi because area of skin in contact with the ground is less but at 12 psi most of the ball's original energy is wasted in bending skin.

Trained competitors have been known to jump as high as 33 feet in the air when jumping on a trampoline. The trampoline was invented by a name named George Nissen.

To answer this question you might need to have some background knowledge in physics. The potential height you can reach with a trampoline depends on several factors, like the number of springs, the stiffness of the spring, the elastic component of the net, not to mention the weight and height of the person jumping on the trampoline.

But basically, this is how it physically works. You should consider the trampoline as a system storing potential elastic energy which depends on how much the net of the trampoline can stretch downwards. As you jump on the trampoline you accumulate a certain amount of speed that the moment you land on the trampoline is absorbed equally by the net and the springs which, in turn, will be converted to a proportional kinetic energy that the trampoline itself is going to transfer to the person jumping allowing him to make the next jump. Jumping at an increasing speed and achieving higher jumps gives your body an increased potential energy, which is dependent on the position of the person with respect to the system of the trampoline, meaning that if you land from a higher spot you will technically be able to jump higher thanks to the response of the springs and net to the energy accumulated by your potential energy. Simply put the trampoline gives you back what you put in with a little of interests: the elastic component. If jump from the center of the trampoline, moreover, you will benefit from a more powerful push since the system- net and springs- are designed to be perfectly balanced. Jumping from a random corner won’t have the same propulsion force since the net and the springs won’t contribute equally.

A leather basketball has a inner rubber bladder which is inflated with air.


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.


How long does it take for an inflated basketball to lose air?

Depends on a lot of factors. Climate can effect how long a basketball holds its bounce. Really cold weather (below 50) will cause a basketball to loose it's bounce rather quickly. If stored at room temperature, a basketball should hold its bounce for around 3-6 months.


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.


How long can a basketball bounce?

Several factors affect the bounce of a basketball including the height that it was dropped from. The bounce factor includes elasticity, air pressure, force applied to it, and how rigid the surface is that the ball is bounced on.


How does a referee check if the ball is correctly inflated?

to check if a basketball or any ball is inflated properly, the referee must bounce the ball on the floor to see if it comes back up to a appropriate height for the players. :)


Will a basketball or tennis ball bounce higher with more air?

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


How high can a rugby ball bounce?

That depends on the elasticity of the material used to make the rugby ball, the pressure to which it is inflated, and the force exerted on the ball to make it bounce.


Why Does a netball bounce higher than a basketball?

I have not actually tried this, but would I bet on the basketball. I am pretty sure that regulation basketball are inflated with several more pounds of pressure , and basketballs need to be able to bounce appropriately, since the dribble is an important part of the game. Volleyballs need to be soft .

Yes. A full basketball with medium to high pressure will clearly bounce higher than a flat basketball with low pressure.
