The whole point of this experiment were to see if temperature can affect air pressure. In the experiment, the basketball was measured in four different temperatures. Therefore, the basketball was dropped at a certain height. The results were as the temperature increases, the bounce of the basketball increases.
If you ever played a sport, or drove a car, you probably never thought if on a cold day would it ruin a ball, or flatten your tire. Maybe on a hot day, the temperature can affect how high it would bounce. How does temperature affect air pressure?
There are many things that happen with temperature and air pressure. To begin with, temperature can affect air pressure in different ways. For example, as the temperature increases, the molecules …show more content…
The basketball was used in different temperatures, room, fridge freezing, and hot. First, hang up the butcher paper and the measuring sticks. Next, measure the air pressure of the basketball with the air gauge. Then, climb up the ladder and drop the basketball and record how high the ball dropped it. Then, repeat this for 2 more times. All in all, those are the steps in this experiment. Materials needed are basketball, air pressure gauge, ladder, measuring stick, butcher paper, a camera, thermostat, and an area to bounce the …show more content…
Then, the bounce of the ball will decrease, because as air molecules get colder they show down resulting in reduced tension in the basketball. First, the ball was done by room temperature of 74.5F. Next, the ball bounced at 61 inches. Then, the ball bounced at 61.5 inches. Then, it bounced again at 61 inches. Finally for an average it bounced 61.16 inches. Next, the ball has been in the fridge for of couple of hours of 45.5F. First, the ball bounced at 60 inches. Next, it bounced at 58 inches. Then, it bounced at 60 inches. Finally it bounced at 59.3 for an average. Then, the ball was put in the freezer for a couple of hours at 8F. First, the ball bounced at 54 inches. Next, the bounced at 54 inches again. Then, the ball bounced at 54.5 inches. Finally for an average it bounced at 54.16 inches. Finally, the ball was put right by the heater all day long at 112F. First, the ball bounced at 65 inches. Next, the ball bounced at 65.5 inches. Then the ball bounced at 66.5 inches. Finally for an average the ball bounced at 65.6 inches. All in all, the hypothesis was
