Physics in Basketball

Abstract:

This paper discusses the different physics concepts in the game of basketball.  In all areas of the game there is something to do with physics.  Some of of the basketball terms this paper will discuss shooting, dribbling, rebounding, boxing out, jump ball and diving.  The physics terms that will be discussed are force, gravity, friction, action and reaction forces and projectile motion.  Without these things basketball wouldn’t be the game of basketball.  When playing or watching you wouldn’t even realize that these basic physics concepts take place.
