Question

15 POINTS Imagine that you are playing in a basketball game. Write 3-5 sentences

describing different forces observed during the game. Remember, any time an
object's motion changes, there must be some kind of force acting on it.​

Answer 1

1. A friction force occurs in the shoes that are played and the floor of the court.
2. When the ball spins, a centripetal force occurs that prevents the ball from moving away from the center of its rectilinear motion.
3. The weight force allows the ball to fall back to the ground because without it it would be suspended in the air, it would not bounce, which would make basketball an impossible game.
