Diameter = 2 x Radius
Circumference = π x Diameter= π x (2 x Radius)
28.5 = π x 2R
28.5 / π = 2R
28.5/3.14159 = 2R = 9.0718 OR 9.1
Radius = 9.1/2 = 4.5 inches.

A flat ball doesn't have a lot of air in it, so it doesn't bounce that well, where as a full basketball has less resistance, and therefore bounces higher. Basically, the difference is the amount of air in the basketball.
when more pressure is applied to a basketball the ball bounces higher. your strength matters. if your strong, you throw the ball on the ground with all your might it will go very high. air inside the ball also matters. if 3/4 of the ball or less is full the ball will barely bounce. in fact there are chances it will not bounce at all no matter how strong you are. you need to make sure that the ball is full of air if you want it to bounce
it will bounce higher if there is more air. ex. Flat basketball- being flat, the ball will just hit the floor and will be pressed inwards on the spot it landed pumped basketball- being full of air, the ball hits the ground and like a flat basketball is pressed inwards. but because there's air in it, the air will make the ball retain its shape and bounce.
Not sure if you mean the ball or rim height, but it is regulation full size on both, NBA ball, 10' rim height.
A basketball match has 5 players from each team at a time on the court. In the centre ring, a player from each team will begin in 'jump ball'. This means that an umpire will throw a ball up and the player doing jump ball will try to tap the ball in the air to a player from their own team. This is how it begins.
It depends on how many of the players signed the ball. A typical autographed basketball, Men's full size, would run around $50-$250.
In my opinion, basketball holds the most primadonna players. I play tennis and I play basketball. From what i experienced, basketball is full of young men that think they are pros. They are not. I do not enjoy watching basketball with players that shoot every time they touch the ball.
The size of a regulation volleyball depends on if it is used for indoor or beach volleyball. An indoor ball has the radius of about 21 centimeters, and a beach ball has a radius of about 21.7 centimeter.
No, because the full basketball includes the mass of the air, unless you don't include the air, then they are the same.
Her full name was Lucille Desiree Ball.
As air fills the basketball, the pressure expands outward to make the outside of the ball feel harder. The valve on the outside of the ball allows the pump to put air in prevents air from escaping.
