Question

I really need help on this one!!

Suppose Earth’s gravitational force were decreased by half. How would this change affect a game of basketball? Think about the motion of the players and the ball.

Answer 1

Due to the decrease in the gravitational force, it will take longer time for ball to reach the ground while dribbling. Moreover, the hang time of players will also be longer. This means that the players will stay on air longer and will be able to jump higher.
