The motion of a Basketball follows the basic laws of physics as explained by Isaac newton. When you throw a basketball you are causing it to move, and once it starts moving it will continue to move because of its momemtum; meanwhile it will simultaneously be falling, under the influence of gravity. (Note that even if a basketball is moving upward, it is still under the influence of gravity, and its upward motion will gradually curve into a downward motion.) Forward momentum and gravity combine to produce the typical ballistic curve of a thrown object (whether a basketball or any other thrown object). Air resistance is also a factor, although it is relatively minor for basketballs, because they move at a relatively low speed. That's how a basketball travels through the air.
What else can I help you with?
How is basketball able to travel through air?
gravitational pull
When you speak what do the vibrations have to travel through to get to the microphone?
They travel through the air.
Can light wave travel through air?
Yes, light waves can travel through air because air is a medium through which electromagnetic waves can propagate. Light travels at different speeds through different mediums, but it can definitely travel through air.
Does light travel faster through air or through lens?
Air.
Can light travel through air?
yes. if light didn't travel through air, then you wouldn't be able to see anything!
Why transverse wave cannot travel through air or gas?
A transverse wave of light can travel through air or gas.
Does air travel through solids liquids and gases?
Air can travel through some kinds of solids, if they are porous. Otherwise it can't. It can travel through liquids in the form of bubbles. It does not exactly travel through gases so much as mix with them.
What needs to travel through the air slowly?
An hot air balloon i think.
Is there a way sound can travel on the moon?
It can travel through the moon's crust, yes - it is solid. But it cannot travel through the air on the moon, of course, because there Is no air on the moon!
How does the president travel through the air?
on air force 1
Can sound travel through a room with no air?
No, sound cannot travel through a room with no air because sound waves need a medium, such as air, water, or a solid, to propagate. Without a medium, there is nothing for the sound waves to travel through.
What three things travel through the pharynx?
Air, food, and liquid travel through the pharynx.
