It is very useful to have gravity present on the court while a Basketball game is in
progress. It makes the game more exciting. Gravity holds the players down on the
floor, and if one of them should jump up, it always brings him back down so that he
may continue his participation in the game with all of his team-mates which I am sure
they all appreciate. Also in addition as well, gravity helps immeasurably in the
skillful art of dribbling the ball, and finally but not least, whenever a player
becomes inspired to attempt a score and throws the ball out of his hands and
away from himself in an upward direction, gravity is always there to pull the ball
down after it has reached a certain amount of altitude and hopefully through the
hoop. If gravity could not be relied upon, then the only possible way to score
would be through the hoop in the upward direction, following which the ball might
very well come to rest on the ceiling, and a new ball would need to be put into
play. Yes it's true. Gravity is our good friend and we are lucky to have it, especially
where it comes to exciting competitive sports.
As a physycist, I can assure you this has no effect.
Gravity. Gravitropism is when an object either moves towards or away from the force of gravity
Yes, indeed it would. Gravity is not caused by the rotation of the Earth. In fact, there would be a very small increase in the "apparent gravity" at the Earth's surface because of the lack of a "centrifugal" effect.
It Picks it up off the ground and slides it... since its so light gravity has no effect on it
I'm not sure but I think it has something to do with gravity
The center of gravity of a basketball is typically located at the geometric center of the ball. It is the point at which the force of gravity can be considered to act on the ball.
Gravity affects the bounce of a basketball by pulling it back towards the ground as soon as it leaves the surface. When the basketball is dropped or thrown, it accelerates towards the ground due to gravity, causing it to bounce off the surface. The height of the bounce is determined by the force with which the basketball hits the ground and the elasticity of the ball.
The force of gravity acting on a basketball is approximately 9.8 m/s^2, which is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth. This force causes the basketball to fall towards the ground when it is in the air and provides the weight of the basketball when it is at rest on the ground.
The letter at the bottom of the arc represents the position at which the basketball has the least potential energy. This is because potential energy is lowest at the lowest point of the arc due to the effect of gravity pulling the basketball down.
because of gravity
Acceleration does not effect gravity. It is rather the other way round. Gravity can affect the rate of acceleration.
Basketball has had no effect on mankind as a whole.
It is really the other way round - gravity has an effect on weight. The more gravity, the more weight.
Yes, gravity and force both play a role in how a basketball moves towards a hoop. Gravity pulls the ball downward, causing it to arc as it is shot, while force (applied by the player) determines the speed and direction of the ball towards the hoop. Combining the effects of gravity and force, a player can successfully make a basketball go into a hoop.
Gravity affects everything that has mass.
