The regular air pressure in a Basketball is typically between 7.5 and 8.5 pounds per square inch (psi). It is important to maintain the correct air pressure for optimal performance and bounce of the ball.
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.
Assuming standard atmospheric pressure of 14.7 psi, the pressure difference in the basketball is 5.3 psi. To estimate the volume of air in the basketball, you'd need the basketball's size, as well as assumptions about temperature and ideal gas behavior. This volume would be significantly larger in standard conditions than when pressurized.
The volume of air in a regulation size basketball is approximately 4.5 liters. This volume can vary slightly depending on factors such as the pressure of the air inside the ball and the exact dimensions of the ball.
A basketball has more pressure than a beachball. Basketball is typically inflated to a higher pressure to maintain its shape and bounce, while a beachball is inflated to a lower pressure for lighter play and ease of handling.
Air pressure is the force exerted by the weight of air in the atmosphere. Differences in air pressure cause air particles to move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, in an attempt to equalize the pressure. This movement of air particles creates wind.
Air pressure affects the bouncing of a basketball by inflating or deflating it. Higher air pressure makes a basketball bouncier, resulting in more bounces, while lower air pressure reduces the ball's bounce. The correct air pressure for a basketball is usually around 7.5 to 8.5 pounds per square inch (psi).

Just regular air.
Yes. A full basketball with medium to high pressure will clearly bounce higher than a flat basketball with low pressure.
NBA regulation requires to be 7.5 to 8.5 pounds in air pressure.:)
A regulation basketball is inflated to a pressure of 7.5 to 8.5 pounds per square inch (psi), which is the standard air pressure for most basketballs.
NBA rules state a basketball's air pressure should be between 7.5 and 8.5 pounds.

Air pressure in a room is less than that of a basketball since it does not crush the basketball. Think of the crushed can experiment. If you empty a soda can, flip it upside down, put it (carefully) on a boiling pot of water, the can will fill with hot air. You then transfer the can on a container with cold water (making sure the opening of the can is covered with the cold water). You should see the can implode or at least the outside air pressure (since it's greater than that of the air pressure in the can) crush the can. Opposite of the basketball.
How much a basketball weighs depends on the size of the ball. A regular size 29.5 inch basketball weighs 22 ounces with air and without air.
