It bounces up for the same reason it hurts your hand when you punch a wall. It is a law of physics that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. With your hand, the force used to punch the wall comes back and hits you right in the fist. With the ball, the force comes back and shoots the ball back up again. This may make you wonder, why doesn't your hand bounce off the wall. That is because of elasticity and the fact that the Basketball is hollow. The material in the ball can stretch to allow it to bounce. Your hand is solid and has non-stretching bone inside.

A basketball is an object that is fat and round and bounces off the ground.
What the kinetic potential energy conversion that occur when basketball bounces?
When a basketball bounces, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as it falls downward. This kinetic energy then allows the ball to compress upon impact with the floor, storing elastic potential energy. This potential energy is then converted back into kinetic energy as the ball rebounds back up.
What ball bounces the hightest out of a Tennis ball basketball and a soccer ball?
a bsket ball bounces hightest then come a tennis ball and then a soccer ball
What bounces up and down?
A bouncing ball.
What ball bounces the highest basketball soccer ball or a kick ball?
A basketball will typically bounce higher than a soccer ball or kickball. The higher bounce is due to the basketball being inflated to a higher pressure compared to the other two balls, resulting in greater elasticity and rebound potential.

yes!

Can you describe a bouncy ball?
It's a rubbery ball that bounces up when thrown, with force, down on a hard, supportable surface. Much like a basketball.
