1 INTRODUCTION
While watching Basketball games , it was always my interest as to know
why referees would examine the basketball. The basketballs were fully
pumped to my awareness, but I noticed referee checking the air pressure
using a psi barometer. Later I found that the standard indoor basketball
pressure is 8.0 psi . From then, I was curious as to know why basketball
games have this psi regulation. What would the significance if it were to be
slightly high- or vice versa ? Would the speed n which the ball bounces
back from the ground increase if the psi was raised ? These are the
questions which motivated me to answer through this investigation.

2 OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this investigation is to determine if different measures of
psi have a significanteffect o yhe initial rebound height and velocity of a
basketball.

If a basketball with a circumference of 75.0 cm, were inserted with a psi’s

of 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0 and was dropped from a
height of 2.0 metres, then the psi at 9.0 would inflict a higher rebound
height and velocity when compared to other psi value. This is because the
extra air pressure pushes against the bottom of the ball, making it push
harder against the ground which leads to the ground pushing back equally
hard. Therefor, the ball bounces back up more significantly.

 BASKETBALL (BALL)

A basketball is a spherical ball used in basketball games. Aside from the court
and the baskets, the basketball is the only piece of equipment necessary to play
the game of basketball. During the game, the ball must be bounced continuously
(dribbling), thrown through the air to other players (passing) or thrown towards
the basket (shooting). Therefore, the ball must be very durable and easy to hold
on to. The ball is also used to perform tricks (sometimes called freestyling), the
most common of which are spinning the ball on the tip of one's index finger,
dribbling in complex patterns, rolling the ball over one's shoulder, or performing
aerobatic maneuvers with the ball while executing a slam dunk, most notably in
the context of a slam dunk contest.

Nearly all basketballs have an inflatable inner rubber bladder, generally wrapped
in layers of fiber and then covered with a surface made either
from leather (traditional), rubber, or a synthetic composite. As in most inflatable
balls, there is a small opening that allows the pressure to be increased or
decreased.

 PRESSURE GAUGE BAROMETER

A barometer is a scientific instrument used to measure air pressure.

The pound per square inch or, more accurately, pound-force per square
inch (psi) is a unit of pressure or of stress based on avoirdupois units. It is the
pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied to an area of
one square inch. In SI units, 1 psi is approximately equal to 6895 N/m2

4 PROCEDURE

 Ball selection :

An indoor basketball was utilized for the experiment . The same 75.0
centimeter circumference ball was conduced in all six trials for each psi
levels. Although it is true hat certain materials on the surface of the ball
could result in different impact and various forces, the standard indoor
leather wrapping ball was used. The same area point on the ball was
dropped as well to further reduce any procedural errors.

 Drop height :

Every basketball in all psi levels were dropped from the same height of
2.0 meters. This value does not play a role in any of the calculations, but
it is valuable to provide a uniform height for each level.

 Rebound height :

This will be calculated from the initial bounce for each psi level. The
average will be taken and it will then be inserted into a graph to
determine significance of the slope .

 Rebound Velocity :

The average height recorded will be ten be plugged into an energy

conservation equation to determine the rate of the velocity applied at all
psi level. After finding the velocity, the data will be in the form of a graph
 to determine the significance of the slope.

5.EXPERIMENTAL VARIABLES

The dependent variable was the basketball rebound height, h, which is measured at the
maximum initial rebound in meters. To measure h, a meter stick was aligned to the wall.
When the ball is dropped from the height of 2.0m and bounce back up, a phone will
record the maximum height it reaches.

The independent variable are the various levels of psi 4.4, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0,
8.5, 9.0.

This graph indicates that as the psi increases, the height in meters rises slightly, but not
as significantly.

As een from the data table and graph , at 4.5 psi, it was at 1.281 meters. But at 9.0 psi,
the height was 1.518 meters. A difference of 0.237 meters was shown.

7. VELOCITY CALCULATIONS

After acquiring the average height for each psi, it was then plugged into a
conservation of energy equation to determine the rate of velocity it was moving
between the ground to the air. This formula will be used:

mgh = (1/2)mv^2

m is mass, g is gravity, h is height, and v is velocity.

mgh = (1/2)mv^2

gh = (1/2)v^2

v ^2 = 2* 9.8*1.281

v(4.5) = 5.0107 m/s

h in velocity. The r2 value is high (0.95015), suggesting that the dispersion of data is not far from the best fit
line. This reveals how psi does have an effect on rebound velocity, but not significantly because the
difference between the highest (9.0 psi) to (4.5 psi) was only .444 ms-1 apart. Error bars were not needed

herThis graph also indicates a linear growth in velocity. This reveals how psi does have an
effect on rebound velocity, but no significantly because the difference between the
highest (9.0 psi) to (4.5 psi ) was only 0.444 m/s apart.

8. CONCLUSION

Overall, I was amazed that my data could justify why an 8.0 psi is logical to be the
standard pressure amount. Although the difference at 9.0 psi and 4.5 psi was not as
significant as I would have thought it would be, the slight change in velocity and
rebound height from these two psi levels could indeed impact a lot of players since the
anticipated velocity and height would be much faster or slower. Having all basketballs
regulated at 8.0 psi provides a uniform rate.
