As air fills the Basketball, the pressure expands outward to make the outside of the ball feel harder. The valve on the outside of the ball allows the pump to put air in prevents air from escaping.

FranPressure is the ratio of mass per volume. Adding more air (mass) into the fixed volume of the ball increases the pressure inside it. A basketball cannot expand much even when the pressure inside is higher than the outside air.
The pressure increases, and the molecules collide with the ball's inner surface.

Explain what happens inside the ball when you pump a flat basketball?
The inside of the ball becomes filled with the air you pump in, thus inflating the ball and turning it from a flat ball to a round one.

How can I properly use a basketball air pump to inflate my basketball?
To properly use a basketball air pump to inflate your basketball, first insert the needle of the pump into the air hole of the basketball. Then, pump air into the ball until it reaches the desired level of inflation. Be sure not to overinflate the ball, as this can damage it. Once inflated, remove the needle carefully and securely close the air hole.
What is the differences between a flat basketball and a regular basketball?
A flat ball doesn't have a lot of air in it, so it doesn't bounce that well, where as a full basketball has less resistance, and therefore bounces higher. Basically, the difference is the amount of air in the basketball.
How do you fix a flat tyre?

What kind of surface is basketball played on?

What surface can a basketball be dribbled the most on?
a flat surface
Does the amount of air in a basketball determine how high it bounces?
Yes, wth the height of the bounce increasing with the amount of air in it. At flat basketball will hardly bounce at all. To make it bounce you need to pump it up with air until it is full (when you can't press your fingers into it and it is very hard).
Where can you get basketball inflated?
I would just buy pump. Sport stores probably have pumps or in your in school, see your gym teacher
