The air pressure in the three
basketballs on the left is 5, 10, and 15 pounds per square
inch (psi), respectively.
Click on each ball to drop it from a height of
4 ft, and observe how high it rebounds. Drag
the red diamond on the vertical axis to measure
the rebound height (from the floor to the bottom
of the ball. What is the effect of air pressure on
the rebound height? Can you explain
why?
