How does air pressure affect the number of basket bounces?
Air pressure affects the bouncing of a basketball by inflating or deflating it. Higher air pressure makes a basketball bouncier, resulting in more bounces, while lower air pressure reduces the ball's bounce. The correct air pressure for a basketball is usually around 7.5 to 8.5 pounds per square inch (psi).
A student is studying how the air pressure in a basketball depends on its temperature what measuring instruments are needed for this experiment?
To study how air pressure in a basketball changes with temperature, you will need a pressure gauge to measure the air pressure inside the basketball accurately. Additionally, you will require a thermometer to monitor the temperature of the basketball during the experiment.
Does the air pressure inside a basketball affect how high the basketball bounces the hypothesis?
Yes. A full basketball with medium to high pressure will clearly bounce higher than a flat basketball with low pressure.
What is the official air pressure in a basketball?
49psi 49psi
What affect the bounce of a basketball?
The pressure from the air inside of it
What pressure do you inflate a basketball to?
NBA rules state a basketball's air pressure should be between 7.5 and 8.5 pounds.
How much air pressure is in a 28.5 basketball?
A regulation basketball is inflated to a pressure of 7.5 to 8.5 pounds per square inch (psi), which is the standard air pressure for most basketballs.
Can any basketball player tell the difference when shooting a basketball with different air pressure?
I can
How does the air pressure in a room differ from the air pressure in a basketball?
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.
What is the regular air pressure in basketball?
The regular air pressure in a basketball is typically between 7.5 and 8.5 pounds per square inch (psi). It is important to maintain the correct air pressure for optimal performance and bounce of the ball.
What is the proper air pressure in a 28.5 basketball?
About 8 PSI
How large a room of air is packed into a basketball at 8psi?
Assuming standard atmospheric pressure of 14.7 psi, the pressure difference in the basketball is 5.3 psi. To estimate the volume of air in the basketball, you'd need the basketball's size, as well as assumptions about temperature and ideal gas behavior. This volume would be significantly larger in standard conditions than when pressurized.
