Physics

We can calculate the approximate deceleration the ball experiences during the rebound by following these steps:

 

Calculate the velocity just before hitting the ground ()

The velocity before impact is determined using the free-fall equation:

Where:

(acceleration due to gravity),

(initial height).

 

 

Calculate the velocity just after rebounding ()

The velocity after rebounding is also determined using the same equation, but with the rebound height ():
