When you pump in more air, the pressure inside the ball increases. This increased pressure compresses the air molecules closer together, but the total volume of air remains the same because the ball's outer surface is rigid and does not expand.

Does more air make a ball lighter?

Yes, it does. Actually, i don't think it does. It should make the ball heavier. A ball typically has a constant volume. Adding more air into it doesn't change the volume, but the pressure increases, and you are adding mass into the ball. Adding mass into the ball does make it heavier, and it becomes denser as well. Of course, the change in mass is quite small - you'd have to pump 1.3m3 of air into the ball to increase its mass by 1 kg


How do you get a ball pump needle out of a ball?

To remove a ball pump needle stuck in a ball, you can try pulling it out with a pair of pliers or tweezers. Gently twist and wiggle the needle while pulling it to help release it from the ball. Be careful not to damage the ball in the process.


Why when you pump in more air into the float it does not increase in mass?

It depends on the strength of the float's walls, and what the float actually is? Pumping more air into a balloon will increase its mass. Pump air into a metal tank, and while the pressure inside will increase, the mass of the metal tank would remain the same.


How do you inflate a bosu ball?

To inflate a Bosu ball, you will need a pump with a large nozzle. Insert the nozzle into the inflation hole on the Bosu ball and pump air until it reaches the desired firmness level. Be sure not to overinflate the ball to prevent damage.


Why does pumping a soccer ball with an air pump increase the pressure inside the ball?

Pumping pushes more air molecules into the ball. That makes more molecules moving around inside of the ball and more molecules colliding with the inside of the ball. All of those collisions (trillions and trillions) push the inside of the ball out. When the temperature is increased, the molecules move faster. Faster molecules collide with the inside walls more frequently, which also increases the pressure. You can test this by pumping up a ball then putting it into the freezer and see what happens to the pressure.

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.


Can you pump more air into a ball than its existing capacity?

No, it would burst.


What would be the volume of a ball which has 300 cubic cm of air and then pump in another 100 cubic cm of air. Explain.?

Yes, air can be compressed.

Why does pumping more air into a basketball increase pressure inside the ball?

The pressure is increased because more gas particles are added into the ball which crowds them, thus increasing the pressure.

Explain what happens inside the ball when you pump a flat basketball?

The inside of the ball becomes filled with the air you pump in, thus inflating the ball and turning it from a flat ball to a round one.
