Best Answer

If the collision between ball and surface is sufficiently elastic, so that not a lot of energy is dissipated as sound, then the normal force will push the ball back at you. Ultimately, this normal force is caused by the electrostatic repulsion of identically-charged electron clouds in the atoms in the ball and the surface.
