You are playing basketball and take a shot toward the basket. When the ball is midway to the basket and nothing is touching the ball, what is the direction of the net force on the basketball? [Neglect any effects due to air]1 pointDownward.Toward the basket.Toward a point slightly above the basket.Toward a point slightly below the basket.

tennis ball flies into the net. The net applies a force to the ball, and the ball applies a force to the net. Each force is a push.The push from the net stops the tennis ball's motion.What is the direction of this force?away from the ballaway from the netSubmit

Which part of your hand should you use to control the direction of the basketball when shooting?a) Fingers                                 b) Palmc) Wrist

Suppose the net force on this basketball is 2  N2  N. What can we say about the individual forces acting on it?

A basketball is tossed from the top of a 3-mwall. The path of the basketball is definedby the relation y  x2  2x  3, wherex represents the horizontal distancetravelled, in metres, and y represents theheight, in metres, above the ground. Howfar has the basketball travelled horizontallywhen it lands on the ground?

You are in an ordinary room (both its floor and ceiling are horizontal). You throw a ball directly upward and it bounces off the ceiling. While the ball is touching the ceiling, in which direction is the ceiling's support force on the ball?1 pointThe ceiling's support force on the ball is directed downward.The ceiling's support force on the ball is directed upward.The ceiling's support force on the ball is directed downward while the ball is moving upward and is directed upward while the ball is moving downward.The ceiling's support force on the ball is directed upward while the ball is moving upward and is directed downward while the ball is moving downward.
