No, it doesn't. For example, a Basketball will bounce quite high and retain a large proportion of its original kinetic energy when being used on a concrete or a hard wood floor, such as those used in official NBA matches. However, if you are try to bounce a basketball on water, I would be amazed if you could elicit any response other than it either submerging itself for a brief period of time before returning to the surface of the water, or simply sinking to the bottom in a desultory manner; the outcome would depend on the basketball's density. To be honest, I would have thought this was fairly obvious. Maybe you want to think a little more closely about how you phrase your question next time, to prevent people like me from giving you a pathetic, sarcastic answer such as this. Fool.
i think a basket ball would bounce better on a hard wood floor because all NBA courts are hard wood.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, of course. For example, if you dribble it on carpet it wouldn't go as high than on pavement.
yes, if under it will not bounce correctly and i fover inflated sometimes ball become deformd causing bubbles.
Yes, the surface affects the way the tennis ball bounces.
The pressure from the air inside of it
Yes, wth the height of the bounce increasing with the amount of air in it. At flat basketball will hardly bounce at all. To make it bounce you need to pump it up with air until it is full (when you can't press your fingers into it and it is very hard).
The air in a basketball lets the basketball bounce.
The more air pressure within a basketball, the more capable it is to bounce efficiently, rather than a basketball with little air pressure.
The leather is put on the basketball for grip, wear and tear, and consistency. The bounce of the ball comes from the rubber bladder that the leather is surrounding. Air pressure and the quality of the ball effect it's bounce more than the leather.
The more air the higher it will bounce, the less air the lower it will bounce assuming the exact same amount of force is applied in each case. You do not want a ball that bounces too easily or one that is hard to make bounce. The reason it bounces higher with more air is because the outer cover is drawn tighter when more air is applied internally. The tighter the cover the higher it will bounce because it has more spring to it.
No. The bounce height may depend on a variety of factors, especially the hardness of the floor, and the properties of the ball, including the amount of air it has.
Yes. A full basketball with medium to high pressure will clearly bounce higher than a flat basketball with low pressure.
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.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bounce is affected by the elasticity of the ball and its internal pressure. The more elastic and optimum pressure, the better the bounce. However, weight is another factor, a heavy ball with the same elasticity and internal pressure as another ball will not bounce as high since force is a function of mass and velocity.
Because, you see, the basketball is filled with AIR. Which makes it bounce.
