Does the air inside a fully pumped basketball have a lower or higher pressure than the air outside?

the higher pressure is due to a greater number of gas particles per unit volume inside the ball then in the surrounding air.

The air pressure inside the can compare to the air pressure outside the can equal lower or higher?
There is no difference of the average local air pressure inside or outside of the headphone.
What is the normal pressure inside or outside the house?
Inside pressure is warm and outside is cold. But any where outside my house there is no problem. Urine becomes normal and no problem
Why doesn't air pressure crush an empty soft drink can as you go down a mountain?
because the pressure is the same on the outside and inside of can making the can staying the same and not being crushed
Why do the sides of a flexible container collapse when the air is removed?
A pressure difference is created, low pressure on the inside and higher pressure on the outside (the atmospheric pressure). The atmospheric pressure crushes the plastic container, acting on the outer plastic walls.
Why does a chip bag increase in size when driving up a mountain?
The chip bag is sealed, and no air can get inside it. The air pressure decreases as you get higher, so the air inside the bag expands to equalize the pressure on the outside of the bag.
Does the air inside a fully pumped basketball have a lower or higher pressure than the outside?
The air inside a fully pumped basketball have a higher pressure than the air outside due to a greater number of gas particles per unit volume inside the ball than in the surrounding air.
Will more air outside a basketball make a basketball bounce higher?
If you mean OUTSIDE the basketball, then no. If you mean INSIDE the basketball, then yes.
The air pressure inside the can compare to the air pressure outside the can equal lower or higher?
There is no difference of the average local air pressure inside or outside of the headphone.
Does the air pressure inside a basketball affect how high the basketball bounces the hypothesis?
Yes. A full basketball with medium to high pressure will clearly bounce higher than a flat basketball with low pressure.
Does the altitude affect bouncing a basketball?
Yes, the higher the altitude the higher pressure on the outside of the ball and so the greater the tension of the ball since the particules inside will be pushing out. Therefore it will bounce better.
How might a basketball be affected if it is kept inside a gymnasium at 75 degrees Fahrenheit versus on an outside court where the temperature is 25 degrees Fahrenheit?
The material of the basketball will deteriorate more quickly outside. Also, the air pressure inside the ball will be higher indoors so the ball will be more bouncy.
Why would you pump a flat basketball?
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.
When the water level is higher inside than outside the flask is the gas pressure in the flask higher or lower or the same as the atmospheric pressure?
The gas pressure in the flask is lower than the atmospheric pressure when the water level is higher inside than outside the flask.
Is the air in a can holding tennis balls higher or lower in the can or outside the can?
The air pressure inside the can is always higher than the air pressure outside the can. The air is compressed into the can along with the tennis balls.
Why must the pressure remain the same on both sides of the ear drum?
If pressure is higher in the inside of the eardrum, the eardrum will pop. If pressure is higher outside the eardrum cave in.
Which is stronger the pressure of the air outside or inside the can?
the pressure difference, depends upon the can, and what it contains, in food cans, the pressure is equil, however in soda pop cans the pressure is higher on the inside
Is Pressure inside a bicycle tire higher than the pressure outside?
If the tyre is inflated, yes. If it has been completely deflated, no.
