Abstract

Studying the efficiency of a sports ball and its coefficient of restitution is important for performance optimization, fairness, and consistency of play. This research paper is dedicated to studying the coefficient of restitution and bounce efficiency in sports ball. Ping Pong ball and tennis balls were used to show the relationship between the bounce height and drop height. This paper used standard laboratory equipment like meter ruler, retort stand, clamp and with the utilization of the acoustic program of the smartphone using PhyPhox. The result showed that the application was able to accurately measure the bounce height in relation to the drop height. This was showed in the straight-line graph plotted. There was a constant ball efficiency coefficient of restitution and have very small percent error from the standard. This experiment can boost the interest and confidence of students in the classroom. Being able to accurately measure the performance of different balls can help students understand the science and engineering principles behind how they work. This knowledge can benefit students by allowing them to make more informed decisions when purchasing sports equipment, as well as give them an opportunity to modify their playing methods and strategies.
