How can i apply the law of inertia, acceleration, interaction in the game basketball?

Question

I am looking for somewhat like an example where this law of motion is applied.. thanx.. 10 poitns here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Basketball is a great example for the law of motion.  

The law of inertia can be seen when you are doing a lay-up.  As you are running up to the basket, your body is going a certain speed in motion.  Once you jump for the lay-up your body (and the ball) want to continue in the direction you were running and at the speed you were running.  That is why sometimes people go under/behind the board.

Acceleration can be seen in the same example; as you move toward the basket, you steadily increase.  Once you throw the ball, it will accelerate and decelerate according to how gravity, air resistance, and all other forces (like the net or backboard) act upon it.
