BASKETBALL AND WRESTLING
In order to score in basketball, several factors need to be taken into account, such as the distance, the height of the basket and the force used to throw the ball. This could be summarized with the following formula:
F = (m * g) + (0,5 * p * A * Cd * v^2)
where:
F is the force needed in Newtons.
m is the mass of the ball in kilograms.
g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2).
p is the density of air (1.2 kg/m^3).
A is the frontal area of the ball in square meters.
Cd is the drag coefficient (0.47 for a basketball).
v is the speed of the ball in meters per second.
Well, to all this, imagine if you had to add the fact that you have a guy behind you who wants to throw you to the ground.
