It is very useful to have gravity present on the court while a Basketball game is in
progress. It makes the game more exciting. Gravity holds the players down on the
floor, and if one of them should jump up, it always brings him back down so that he
may continue his participation in the game with all of his team-mates which I am sure
they all appreciate. Also in addition as well, gravity helps immeasurably in the
skillful art of dribbling the ball, and finally but not least, whenever a player
becomes inspired to attempt a score and throws the ball out of his hands and
away from himself in an upward direction, gravity is always there to pull the ball
down after it has reached a certain amount of altitude and hopefully through the
hoop. If gravity could not be relied upon, then the only possible way to score
would be through the hoop in the upward direction, following which the ball might
very well come to rest on the ceiling, and a new ball would need to be put into
play. Yes it's true. Gravity is our good friend and we are lucky to have it, especially
where it comes to exciting competitive sports.

How does gravity affect the lava flow?
As a physycist, I can assure you this has no effect.
How does gravitropism effect plants?
Gravity. Gravitropism is when an object either moves towards or away from the force of gravity
Would gravity exist even if the earth stopped rotating?
Yes, indeed it would. Gravity is not caused by the rotation of the Earth. In fact, there would be a very small increase in the "apparent gravity" at the Earth's surface because of the lack of a "centrifugal" effect.
How does sand moves?
It Picks it up off the ground and slides it... since its so light gravity has no effect on it
How does the tilt of earths axis effect how the suns rays strike earth?
I'm not sure but I think it has something to do with gravity
How does gravity affect the bounce of a basketball?
Gravity affects the bounce of a basketball because if there is gravity, the basketball will come back down after it bounces. But if there is no gravity, the basketball will bounce and travel indefinitely upwards and never come back down until a gravitational force pulls the basketball towards it.
Where is the center of gravity of a basketball?
If you were observing the ball from the outside (of the ball) the center of gravity is in the middle of the basketball.
How does speed and acceleration effect gravity?
Speed or acceleration have no effect on gravity.
What is the aerodynamic drag on a basketball?
because of gravity
How acceleration effect gravity?
Acceleration does not effect gravity. It is rather the other way round. Gravity can affect the rate of acceleration.
How does air effect gravity?
Air has no effect on gravity. But the presence of air can change the response of an object to the force of gravity alone.
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.
Discuss the effect of weight on gravity?
It is really the other way round - gravity has an effect on weight. The more gravity, the more weight.
What is gravity if it is not a force?
Gravity really is one of the four main forces of the Universe. gravity is an effect and not the cause of anything, no gravitation's, no gravity waves, none of it. gravity is a dynamic effect. the acceleration of the underlying for of energy focused to the center of a mass. there is no separate force called gravity, just a dynamic effect we call 'gravity'
What effect does gravity have on Neptune?
The surface gravity of Neptune is 1.14 times the gravity on Earth. This means that the effect is almost the same as here on Earth.
What is the effect of gravity on velocity?
Gravity is a force and any force acting on a body changes its velocity in the direction of the force.
What has basketball done for mankind?
Basketball has had no effect on mankind as a whole.
