∙ 6y agoThe pressure is increased because more gas particles are added into the ball which crowds them, thus increasing the pressure.

∙ 11y agoAs you pump more air into the ball, there are more and more molecules of gas in the ball. The increase in pressure causes the ball to expand slightly, but lets say the volume of the ball is constant for our purposes. The more gas molecules there are in the same amount of space (volume) the closer the molecules get to one another. The closer the molecules are the more strongly they repel one another. The more strongly the molecules repel, or push against one another, the stronger they push out on the inside surface of the ball. That push is what we call pressure. The mathematical representation of this is PV=NRT where P=Pressure, V=Volume, N=Number of particles or molecules, R=a constant you don't need to worry about if you are asking this question, and T=temperature. At a constant T, if N goes up, the product of PV must go up, so if you are in a fixed size container like a Basketball, V cannot change, so P must increase.
Peressure
Pumping air into the soccer ball increases the number of air molecules inside the ball, which creates more collisions with the ball's walls. This increase in collisions results in higher pressure inside the ball.
Increasing the number of air particles in the tires by pumping them up will increase the pressure inside the tires. This is because there are more particles colliding with the walls of the tires, resulting in a higher pressure.
The pressure from the air inside of it
Yes. A full basketball with medium to high pressure will clearly bounce higher than a flat basketball with low pressure.
Air goes in it the pressure increases and the tire becomes harder. If you keep pumping it'll eventually blow up.
You could increase the pressure inside the ball by heating it up. When you heat the air inside the ball, the molecules move faster and spread out, causing an increase in pressure.
To study how air pressure in a basketball changes with temperature, you will need a pressure gauge to measure the air pressure inside the basketball accurately. Additionally, you will require a thermometer to monitor the temperature of the basketball during the experiment.
If the volume of a container of gas is reduced, the pressure inside the container will increase. This is because reducing the volume decreases the amount of space the gas molecules have to move around, leading to them colliding more frequently with the walls of the container, thus increasing the pressure.
There are more particles of gas in the basketball than in the beach ball. So, more particles hit the inside surface of the basketball than hit the inside surface of the beach ball. When more particles hit the inside surface of the basketball, the force on the inside surface of the ball increases. This increased force leads to greater pressure, which makes the basketball feel harder than the beach ball. Hope this helps :)
both temperature and pressure increase as you go down inside earth. hi I am epic
Because the heat causes the air inside the basketball to expand, which increases the pressure in the ball.
