Air Pressure and the Coefficient of Restitution of a Ball
The relationship between the internal air pressure and the coefficient of restitution was investigated for an inflated rubber ball. The ball was dropped and its position was tracked with a motion detector. The velocity, before and after impact, and the internal pressure were determined. It was found...
