Explanation:
During winters, there is decrease in temperature, therefore, there will be decrease in kinetic energy of particles inside the basketball. As a result, particles will move slowly.
Therefore, pressure of the basketball will also decrease.
So when, Timothy plays basketball in his driveway during the summer. By accident, he left the basketball outside during the winter. He tried to bounce it, but it would not bounce because it was partially deflated. During the winter, air molecules in the basketball move slower than in the summer. As a result, the pressure of the basketball is low in the winter.
