how high can a basketball bounce?

a basketball will bounce the highest of these objects because it is mad of a harder material whose material will retain its shape more readily than the others. also it has higher air pressure inside.

there would be many answers. a lot of combination of speeds and angles are possible to put the ball in the basket.

Well simply put they have amazing verticals usually depending on the height over 50 inches. The reason is that if they build up their leg muscles (using squats and plyometrics) the same as people who are taller they get more lift due to the fact they are carrying less weight. Nate Robinson won the Slam Dunk contest this year and he is around 5'9" 175lbs and Muggsy Bouges who dunked a few times in his NBA career was 5'3" 140lbs. If you train hard enough anyone can dunk.

15 feet directly below the hoop\n\nIf you mean literally from the foul line to the rim it is actually a tiny tiny bit over 18 feet.

My guess is 2 things... First of all, the lower the air pressure, the less resistance that the ball will encounter along its path.  Secondly, if the ball is hollow (e.g. a tennis ball or basket ball) then the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the ball will reflect how easily it will bounce.

The height for a basketball ring from the ground is 10ft for age 12 and upwards and 8.5ft for under 12’s ....

You're not far away. As you get older, you're legs will get stronger. I've seen a few 5'10" players dunk, so it's not only height but also legs.

Just bounce right on by.

This is absolutely true.  My high school basketball coach demonstrated this to us when the team was struggling with making free throws.  I wish I had a picture to show you to confirm this, but you'll have to take my word for it.\n\nNote:  This is true with a regular sized ball.  Actually, if you're good at math, you can prove this by measuring the diameter of a regulation sized rim and comparing it against the diameter of a basketball :)  \n\nLastly, there is one URL which also states similar belief that 2 basketballs can fit in the rim at the same time.  See source below.\n\nHope this helps!  :)

It is 10 feet. It was rumored that some teams raised the height of there rims so the NBA officials started checking rim heights every month. Now it is officially 10 ft.

basketball. When you shoot the ball to make a basket, the force with which it is thrown, combats with gravity. This determines at what point the ball will start to fall towards the basket.

Michael "Wild Thing" Wilson, who plays for the Globetrotters and played at the University of Memphis, set the world record by dunking on a 12 foot high goal.  I seem to remember reading somewhere that his vertical was measured at 51 inches while in college, but I can't remember the source for that now.  In comparison, Michael Jordan had a verical around 46 inches in his prime.

The basketball court comes in different shapes and sizes. In the National Basketball Association, the court is 94 feet long by 50 feet wide (28.65 m by 15.24 m). A FIBA court is slightly smaller, at 28 m by 15 m. In street ball the court is much smaller than in NBA.
