Kevin KeeferMr. McBurnettPhysicsMay 19, 2014Basketball PhysicsBasketball dating back to December 21, 1891 has virtually everything to do with physics. The trajectory of the ball, the gravity that causes it to fall after a shot, the force of the wind that changes the trajectory of the basketball towards the basket, all of this leads to physics. Without physics, virtually every sport known to man would be impossible to play, which shows the importance of science. Basketball began in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith when he needed to find a "sporting diversion" for YMCA students. International Training School. Denying the idea of ​​going outside to play sports like soccer, football, etc. Dr. James Naismith reflected on his childhood when talking about a game called “duck on a rock.” The concept of this old game was that one player had to defend an object called a "duck" while players on the opposing team threw small stones to knock it down. How Dr. James Naismith was able to create a well-known sport from this type of game will forever remain a mystery, but he got to work using two peach baskets nailed about 10 feet high. As the sport he created was not yet a real sport, they were forced to use a soccer ball, with the aim of getting the ball into the peach basketball while resisting the team opponent who was trying to defend his basket. Goals, being field goals, presented a problem: When a team eventually scored, they had to find a way to get the ball out of the peach baskets. To do this, they used a long pole and pushed against the bottom of the basket to be able to get the ball out. In creating this game, Dr. James Naismith was able to bring countries together by finally bringing this game together...... middle of paper ...... the third law of n is when the basketball hits the backboard. When the ball bounces off the backboard, it's usually from a layup or a shot thrown with too much force. As this happens, the force of the basketball as it hits the backboard is confronted by the force of the backboard itself. These forces must be equal for this to be a valid example of Newton's third law. Physics plays an important role in everyone's life, it dictates our ability to walk, run and jump. This not only shows how important physics is to the sport, but also how science is involved in everything we do. Basketball is just one example of how physics plays out and acts through our movements. Just like Newton's three main laws, these are just some of the many other forces and energies that impact our ability to do virtually anything in life..
