When the ball is falling the force gravity and air resistance is acting on it. Gravity is pushing the ball down and air resistance is pushing the ball up. The air pressure increases as you fill it with air, but if you fill it too much there is too much air pressure which causes the ball to bounce uncontrollably.
Dribbling the Basketball
When a player dribbles a ball, the ball exerts a force on the ground when it hits. The ground exerts an equal and opposite force on the ball which pushes it upward into the air. However, in each bounce, energy is lost to heat; therefore every bounce will be lessened in the height and distance because there will be no further energy supplied by the player unless the player maintains control of the ball.
If a player were to bounce a ball once and walk away, the bounces of the ball would decrease proportionally each and every time until the ball eventually stopped bouncing. To maintain the bouncing of the ball, the player must dribble it. Each time the player dribbles the ball, he/she exerts a force on the ball which allows the ball to maintain its energy level and keep bouncing. In this case the outside forces that act on the ball are gravity and the player's hand. Gravity is the pull of the earth's object. It pulls the ball toward the floor which enables the bounce. Without gravity everything would just float in the air, so the game wouldn't be able to played.The player's hand is other force that acts on the basketball. It's the ability, when in contact with the ball, to stop its motion. It's also the ability to start the motion of the ball when it dribbles the ball. In order to get the maximum bounce on the ball, you should fill it with air. Air increases the air pressure inside the basketball and also increases the firmness of the basketball. The more pressure inside the ball, the greater the force of the ball on the floor, and the opposite force of the floor on the ball, will be. So if the ball if filled with more air, it will be easier to bounce and the player won't have to use as much force to dribble it, so he/she will be able to concentrate more the other aspects of basketball.
