Physics is a part of everyday life. It is evident in the modern technological devices we use in everyday experiences and in the objects around us. Although physics is believed to only be useful in the classroom, physics can also be applied to one of the most popular activities on the planet, basketball. Whether jumping for the ball or jumping for a dunk, the human body follows the same laws of projectile motion as other objects. The sport that includes shooting, passing, running and dribbling involves topics covered in physics such as force, friction, effects of air resistance, speed, air pressure and energy. Basketball also involves factors such as projectile motion in making a basket, gravity and its effects on passing and dribbling, Newton's First and Third Laws of passing, and a number of others. Passing is perhaps one of the most important components of this sport. A match would be impossible without the help of passing and teamwork. To make a successful transition, numerous factors must be taken into account. To initiate a pass, the player must first exert force on the ball. Once the ball leaves the player's hands, it becomes a projectile. A projectile is subjected to the action of two independent forces: the x and y components. The x component is the force exerted by the player on the ball while the y component is pulled by the force of gravity, -9.8 m/s². As a result of the independent components, the ball will travel along a parabolic path or downward trajectory. As the ball travels on a downward path, the player throws the ball towards a target located a little higher than where he wants the ball to go to compensate for the downward path. Another factor that influences success... half of the paper... the player's shoes must have good traction, a friction that allows movement. Good traction means that the coefficient of friction between the shoe and the floor must be high. A player must also use static friction when planting their feet to stop and turn without slipping on the floor because static friction is greater than sliding friction. In conclusion, physics is involved in all things around us. In the classroom, in the car, or while playing basketball, you can apply physics concepts to action. Although it is not very practical for a person to stop and calculate the angle, speed and position, the use of physics makes it understandable and possible. As insignificant and ridiculous as basketball physics seems, calculating the principles is actually very valuable to a player without him even knowing he is doing physics..
