Question

1.During a basketball game, a player complains that the ball isn’t inflated enough. To meet international basketball standards a ball dropped from 1.8 m should bounce to a height of 1.2 to 1.4 m. The ball only rebounded 1.1 m indicating that the ball needed more air. What was the coefficient of restitution of the basketball when it rebounded to a height of 1.1 m?

2. Report the acceptable range of coefficients of restitution, based on the information given in the previous problem.
