Basketball Pictures:
Friction Involvement:
In this picture here you can see the friction being used in basketball. In more details to explain the picture, the girl there pushes the basketball, the ball would be pushing back on her but friction keeps the her in place. With friction there she stays in place so that she would be able to the take the shot. Without friction the game of basketball would be very impossible to win.
Gravity Involvement:
In this picture you can see that the basketball player is like going flying. Gravity is what keeps us on the ground and not floating around. If there was no gravity we would be floating like if you are on the moon. There is less gravity there making you weigh less which makes you float around. You can see here that the basketball player is going up to sky because there is no gravity. He was supposed to jump and make a slam dunk but instead when he jumped he is just floating up becasue of the lack of gravity. No gravity, no way you can play basketball.
Force Involvement:
In this picture you can see a basketball player getting ready to shoot a basket. Well to be able to shoot a basket you need to apply force to to the basketball. The green arrow shows the force applied by the ball on the hand and the yellow arrow shows the force applied by hand on the ball. So if you put little force to the basketball I bet you you won't make a successful shot. Plus, if you put to much force it jus might bounce of and you won't get a successful shot either. You need an approximate accurate force to be able to get it in. When playing basketball you don't notice that but force is very important in sport basketball.
Technological Advancement Involvement (Shoes):
In this picture you see a basketball shoe that some basketball players wear. Basketball shoes weren't always like this. They were very different back then. Now, basketball shoes have static friction which allows a player to stop and turn without sliding across the floor because the static friction is greater than the sliding friction. If they did not invent basketball shoes then the basketball players will start sliding everywhere making a lot of people injured.
