A basketball player jumps straight up to dunk a basketball. The basketball player's speed increases as she returns to the
ground. What is true about the forces acting on the basketball player?
A. The upward force is greater than the downward force.
B. The downward force is greater than the upward force
C. The rightward force is greater than the leftward force.
D. The leftward force is greater than the rightward force.

Sagot :

Answer:

The downward force is greater than the upward force.

Explanation:

The remaining time is spent in the top of the jump (the top 25% of the jump). In other words, half the jump time is spent in the highest 25% of the jump (the top part of the arc). This explains why a basketball player appears to "hang" during the jump.
