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 .


How does air pressure afftect the bounce of a basketball?

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.

What rhymes with renounce?

Denounce, announce, an ounce,one bounce, a bounce, three counts, three bounce, free counts, three pounds... probably a lot of others too...


How many psi equals 9 pounds?

psi is a pressure and pound is a mass or weight. That is like apples and bananas. EDIT: I think the question refers to a basketball. For example, on my basketball it reads: "Inflate 7 to 9 LBS". This is very confusing indeed, with no mention of pressure. However, they actually mean, in this case, "LBS per square inch" - I don't know why it's not specified, but POUNDS in this case means POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH. Hooray for strange ways of specifying pressure!
