How+the+2nd+law+applies

​ Newton's 2nd Law of Motion and Basketball Newton's second law of motion applies to basketball when you shoot the basketball. When you shoot the basketball, it will accelerate in direction of the force exerted on it by the person. For example, if a person were to throw a more massive object like a rock with the same force, the net force on the rock would be less and it would not go as far. All of these pictures go together. If you look closely, you can see that somebody has shot the basketball. [|www.clackhi.nclack.k12.or.us/physics/projects/NewtonsLaws_2005/dc_4-physics/rk/our%20webpage.html]
