Rebound Ratio
Guided Notes
3 key concepts
- 1
The rebound ratio is calculated by dividing the rebound height by the drop height.
- 2
A basketball referee tests the inflation of a basketball by dropping it and observing if it bounces back to their elbow, which is about 3/4 of their height.
- 3
If a basketball has a rebound ratio of 0.743 and is dropped from 97 inches, we can expect it to rebound approximately 72 inches high.
