Yes. More air in the Basketball will make it bounce higher.

Yes. Replacing the air with even a lighter gasses, such as helium, results in a higher bounce.

It follows that, removing air or using heavier gasses to inflate a ball will result in a lower bounce.

YES. Adding more air to the ball lessens the particles in the ball to bounce around.

Putting more air in a basket ball will definitely make it bounce higher. If you put light gasses in it like helium then it will bounce even higher. If you take air out of it, it will bounce lower.After a while of putting air in a basketball it starts to bounce lower.

Why does a basketball rise to a lower point each times it bounces?

Because it loses momentum each time it bounces. That is why you use your hand to bounce the ball, giving it more momentum going down which causes it to hit the ground harder. During the spit second it hits the ground, the air pressure in the ball increases, causing it to bounce back up to your hand.


What is basketball handling?

Basketball handling is also called dribbling. But handling is more than that. Its about the skill of dribbling. Like cross-overs, spiders etc. To make this less confusing its basically fancy dribbling.

You have a 1999 Malibu and when you go over bumbs the suspension sounds like its worn?

more than likely thr struts need replaced. bounce it up and down and let go, if it continues to bounce more then once, before it straightens out ,the struts are weak. if ok! and it will not bounce more than once. struts are ok. if this is the case, check suspension system. you may have a bad spring.


What type of spin is on a well executed shot?

A well-executed shot in sports like tennis or golf typically features a combination of topspin or backspin, depending on the desired effect. Topspin helps the ball dip quickly, allowing for greater control and a higher arc, while backspin can create a slower bounce and make it more challenging for opponents. The spin applied can significantly influence the trajectory, bounce, and overall effectiveness of the shot. Proper technique and racket angle are crucial for achieving the desired spin.
