In order to understand this experiment we will investigate key components of it. First, we will explore the history of a basketball. By knowing its history, we will have an exceptional grasp on, of how basketball has evolved over time. Afterwards we will learn about different types of basketballs and their exterior and interior materials. By being familiar with this we can predict what is propelling to happen in the experiment. Third, we will investigate Charles Law. This will aid us to understand how different temperatures can affect a basketball. Fourth, we will search how the bounce of the ball relates to its air pressure. Next we will consider the Kinetic Theory of Gases. This theory can help us learn what the molecules themselves are doing inside the object (basketball). Finally, we will explore effusion. Although it branches off the Kinetic Theory of Gases, it explains how gas molecules are entering the basketball through a tiny hole. By knowing these components we can personally understand the ending results of this experiment.
Basketball can be dated back 500 years ago; when the Olmec people of ancient Mexico, Aztec, and the Mayans played it. Although it was the same game, …show more content…
Learning about the history and different types of balls explained how the basketball itself, and the game has changed throughout time. Understanding how the bounce relates to air pressure simply drive us to the conclusion that when a ball has an exceeding amount of air pressure it would also have bigger bounce. Charles Law, The Kinetic Theory of Gases, and effusion all have demonstrated what molecules are doing inside the basketball, and how they get into the basketball. By understanding these key components of the project, it will lead us to a better understanding of the ending
