Can a tennis ball bounce higher then a basketball?

Yes, provided that we bounce the tennis ball with enough force. Newton's laws of motions comes into play, stating that each force creates an equal and opposite reaction.


How is basketball relative to Newton's three laws?

one that it not change its state rest or motion without any force. second that when force apply on it ,its produce acceleration which is directly proportional to the force and it has mass which is inversely proportional to the acceleration. third is that the reaction of basket is equal to the action of force.


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.


How can there be an unbalanced force on an object if every action has an equal and opposite reaction?

What is one way of describing newton's third law would be to say?

For every action there's an equal and opposite reaction. A clearer way of saying this may be: When you push on something it pushes back with a equal force. Think of pushing on a building. You apply a force on the building but it is pushing back with the same force, else it would move.
