| Exploration |
- Inflate the basketball to a pressure
of 5 pounds per square inch (psi).
- Drop it from a height of 4 feet, and measure how high
the ball bounces. (Repeat the experiment
many times and take the average.)
- Repeat for inflation pressures of 10 and 15 psi.
What's the relationship between air
pressure and rebound height?
