The bouncing back of basketball can be explained by these three things:
Newton's third law of motion
Compressed air in the ball
Gravity
When we throw the basketball towards the ground (push) , the gravity also pulls it towards itself and increases its velocity. As a reaction, the ground also pushes the ball in the upward direction, and the pressure is exerted in compressed air and hence, it bounces a lot.
