A fully inflated ball bounces higher because it has more air pressure inside, providing more energy for the bounce. The higher air pressure helps the ball to retain its shape better during impact with the ground, resulting in a more efficient transfer of energy.

When a fully inflated balloon is popped, the sudden release of all the stored energy creates a larger shockwave, resulting in a louder noise. In contrast, a partially inflated balloon has less stored energy, so the release of energy upon popping is less intense, leading to a quieter noise.
When a body is fully or partially immersed in a liquid, the force acting on the body is buoyancy, which is directed upwards and is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the submerged part of the body.
Yes, the pressure inside a balloon is typically slightly higher than atmospheric pressure to keep the balloon inflated. When a balloon is fully inflated, the pressure inside the balloon is balanced by the tension in the balloon's material, which allows it to maintain its shape.
A superball will bounce the highest relative to its drop height due to its high elasticity and rebound capability.
When the balloon is punctured from below, the air inside the balloon escapes through the hole creating a higher pressure below the balloon compared to above it. This pressure imbalance causes the balloon to move upwards momentarily before it starts to descend due to gravity.
