an inflated because it takes up more room than a deflated one
It depends on how you define the Basketball. If you define it as just the rubber, then the mass does not change when it is inflated. If you consider the air inside the ball to be part of the ball then adding more air adds more mass. Mass is "stuff". Air has mass because air is stuff.

∙ 2009-08-27 00:00:40Yes, there is more mass in an inflated balloon than a deflated one. The difference is the gas that was used to inflate the balloon. The gas may not weigh very much, but it does make a difference.
It certainly would be heavier. Air has mass and will add weight.
An inflated tyre weighs more. The air you add has weight. A tyre gauge measures the pounds of air you put into our tyre. The difference is so slight you couldn't tell the diference.
Yes they do bounce higher because their is more air in the ball that is filled up more!
basketball of course
Yes fully inflated balls bounce better and higher because they have more air in them.
The basketball is hollow.
Because when something is not inflated fully then it is partially flat. Which will affect its ability to bounce
An inflated football is essentially more aerodynamic than a deflated football. The inflated one would travel faster and a greater distance. However, if you dropped them both at the same time, they would it the ground at the same time, because gravity pulls everything downward at 9.81 meters per second squared (ignoring the effects of air resistance in this last case).

It depends on:1. How well inflated it is - higher inflation means it's more elastic and will rebound to a higher percentage of the height it was dropped from, and2. How high it was dropped from/ how hard it was thrown down.
There is more air in it (higher pressure) than the surrounding air (lower pressure) so there is more mass in this volume.
