Physics

To calculate the average deceleration during the rebound, follow these steps:

 

Determine the velocity before hitting the ground

The velocity just before hitting the ground () can be calculated using the formula for free fall:

Where:

(acceleration due to gravity),

(height).

 

 

Determine the velocity after rebounding

The ball rebounds with 90% of its original velocity:
