This past weekend was the boys basketball state championships and it was intense. Our boys made it all the way to semis but fell short to Kahuku which was a heartbreaker.Anyways related to physics is Newtons 3rd law how if one object pushes against another, that object pushes back. During the basketball game, the boys always take jump shots and as the player pushes the ball up to shoot, the ball is pushing back on the players hands. At the same time, the bball player is pushing down on the earth and the earth is pushing up on the player. These are only a few of the actions that occur during a basketball game. Everywhere whether we notice it or not physics is present! (Here's a picture of the post 3rd place game with Kela Marciel.)
