How much force is needed for a 5 foot basketball player to dunk on a 10 foot goal?

Force depends on mass, without knowing the mass of the player you cannot answer the question.
Assuming the player will extend his arm 1 foot, he must only jump 4 feet off the ground. Assuming a mass of 50 kg (110 lbs) work to lift him 4 feet is found by:
4 ft x 12 x 2.54/100 = 1.2192 meters
Gravitational potential energy change = mgh = 50 x 9.8 x 1.2192 = 597.408 n-m
time = sq rt(2 x 1.2192/9.8) = 0.498814922121 sec
round to 0.5 sec
v = gt = 9.8 x 0.5 = 4.9 m/s
Ft = m (delta)v
F = 50 x 4.9 / 0.5 = 490 newtons of force using the above assumptions.

What is the physics of a slam dunk?
A slam dunk in basketball involves the player jumping high in the air and using their arm to forcefully propel the ball down into the basket. The physics behind a successful slam dunk includes the conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy during the jump, transferring momentum from the player's body to the ball, and the angle and force needed to overcome gravity and ensure the ball goes through the hoop. Additionally, factors such as the player's height, speed, and coordination play a role in achieving a successful slam dunk.
