A basketball is filled with compressed air - compressed by the pump used to inflate the ball. When a ball hits the ground, the air inside compresses a little more, momentarily, and the elastic (stretchy) properties of the basketball skin le...

How Bouncing Balls Work — Part of a website that provides answers to everyday questions about physics, science, and how things in the world around us work. ... You won't get any important quantitative results from this sort of experiment, but it'll be fun anyway. I wonder what fillings will make the ball bounce best or worst?
