Does gravity or force affect the way a basketball goes in a hoop?

Everything the Basketball does after it leaves the hand is the result of
the forces acting on it and its velocity achieved from the hands launching it. The force that acts on the basketball is the force of gravity.

What are some forces that might affect a rock as it tumbles down a hill?
A force hit the rock which made it roll down the hill.
The energy you give to an object when you use a force that goes against the force of gravity?
Gracitational Potential Energy
When you throw a ball it goes up then goes down why?
The force of gravity pulls it back down to Earth.
What direction does buoyant force point?
the buoyant force points up and gravity goes down that's why we are balanced.
Is the force of gravity acting upon an object the object's mass?
No. Mass is a property of the object and doesn't change, no matter where the object goes or what's happening to it. The force of gravity on the object is its "weight" and that can change. It depends on, for example, what planet the object is on.

A force hit the rock which made it roll down the hill.
Does the moons gravity affect the ocean?
Yes, the moons gravity effects when the tide comes in and goes out.
How does the force change on how high the rocket goes?
At high elevations, the force of gravity becomes less.
Does your hand and eye dominant affect if the basketball goes in the hoop?
Yes, it does.
The energy you give to an object when you use a force that goes against the force of gravity?
Gracitational Potential Energy
Does gravity or magnetism hold everything in place in solar the system?
Gravity. Magnetism is a fairly short-range force, but gravity goes on forever.
When you throw a ball it goes up then goes down why?
The force of gravity pulls it back down to Earth.
How does gravity affect the weight of matter?
It's a very direct relationship; weight is caused by gravity. weight = mass x gravity Therefor, if gravity goes up and mass stays constant weight, goes up. And the reverse is true if gravity goes down and mass stays constant, weight goes down.
What direction does buoyant force point?
the buoyant force points up and gravity goes down that's why we are balanced.
How strong is the sun gravity?
Gravity causes force that pulls every two masses together. It's the force of gravity between the sun and earth that keeps the earth in orbit around the sun. Same goes for the other planets. The force of gravity is also what holds you on the earth. Gravity is everywhere, and you see the effects wherever there are two masses.
How does the moon low gravity affect the game of golf?
the higher the ball goes it starts floating
Does gravity go up or down?
Gravity is a force between 2 bodies. Gravity goes in the direction towards the body of greater mass. For things on earth, gravity is in the "downward" direction (i.e. towards the earth), since the earth is of greater mass than other objects.
