I still maintain that if Physics were taught to me with examples from sports rather than space travel and planets, I would have been infinitely more interested. Billions and billions of times more motivated to learn. Probably would have gotten an A rather than the C or D it seems like I struggled to get.
Lesson learned, seek and ye shall find. The Internet helps of course.
Study: Nothing but net - physics of
basketball free throws
Two 1. Back spin: the ball should make three complete backspinning revolutions before reaching the hoop. Back spin deadens the ball when it bounces off the rim or backboard, giving the ball a better chance of settling through the net. 2. Where to aim: Aim for the back of the rim, leaving about 3. High arc: Launch the ball at 52 degrees to the horizontal. At the highest point in its arc to the basket, the ball should be less than 4. High release: Release the ball as high above the ground as possible, without adversely affecting the consistency of the shot; release the ball so it follows the imaginary line joining the player and the basket; and release the ball with a smooth body motion to get a consistent release speed. |
