Yes. More air in the basketball will make it bounce higher. Yes. Replacing the air with even a lighter gasses, such as helium, results in a higher bounce. It follows that, removing air or using heavier gasses to inflate a ball will result in a lower bounce. YES. Adding more air to the ball lessens the particles in the ball to bounce around. Putting more air in a basket ball will definitely make it bounce higher. If you put light gasses in it like helium then it will bounce even higher. If you take air out of it, it will bounce lower.After a while of putting air in a basketball it starts to bounce lower.
yes
no
yes it will imangine a flat basketball will it bounce? not at all.
yess because it couldn't bounce if it didn't have air.
If you mean OUTSIDE the basketball, then no. If you mean INSIDE the basketball, then yes.

Basketballs are inflated with air to make them bounce. When inflated, the basketball's elastic bladder is capable of rebounding when dropped or dribbled on a hard surface. In general, the higher the air pressure is inside the basketball, the higher it will bounce.
No,of course not, the friction between the basketball and the grass would make the ball bounce less.
Are you kidding me? Springs? No, its bladder is inflated to make it bounce...
