A basketball player is shooting a free throw. She applies a resultant force of 60N to a 0.5kg basketball at a 45 degree angle from the horizontal as it leaves her hands. We will assume the vertical and rightward is regarded as positive. What is the net force acting on the basketball as it leaves her hands?

When you jump from an elevated position you usually bend your knees upon reaching the ground. by doing this, you make the time of the impact about 10 times as great as for a stiff-legged landing. in this way the average force your body experiences is a) less than 1/10 as great. b) more than 1/10 as great. c) about 1/10 as great.d) about 10 times as great.
