Passing is a major aspect of the game of basketball. For a team to have success they need to have a efficient passing game. You need to have a good short passing game as well as a good long distance passing game. To pass well it is a smart idea to spread out on the court. This will make it easier to connect passes. If all the players on your team are bunched up it will be very challenging connecting passes. At the bottom of the web page you can see how to calculate the final velocity of the basketball being passed, the acceleration of the basket ball, and the average velocity of the basketball.
Forces

Newton's first law is seen when you are making a pass with a basketball. Before the ball has begun to move it is at rest. For the ball to overcome inertia and to begin moving it will be acted upon by the force of your arm muscles. This force helps the ball begin its journey to its target.
Newton's second law is also seen in basketball. It is seen when you want to calculate the force of the ball. You do this by multiplying the mass of the basketball by the acceleration. You can also solve for acceleration or mass depending on the variables you are given.
Newton's third law is also seen in basketball. The force applied to the basketball has a equal and opposite force. This is the force of friction between your hands and the basketball.

The work is the transfer in energy from the basketball player to the basketball. In the calculations below you can see how to calculate the work of the basket ball.
Power is the rate that the basketball is doing work. You can see how to calculate this in the calculation below.
