Michael Jordan making history!


This is a picture of Michael Jordan about to dunk. This picture uses many different types of forces in order to make a complete slam dunk such as force itself, energy & obviously balance.

Force a push or pull upon an object resulting from the objects interaction with another object. Whenever there is an interaction between two objects, there is a force upon each of the objects. The amount of force he is using is tremendously a lot because he is up in air. There are many types of forces and in the picture, gravitational force is used because gravity is pulling him up as he is trying to stay up in order to make the dunk.
 * Force**

Energy plays a big role in basketball. Without energy it wouldn't be possible. Kinetic energy is used when Michael Jordan is running up to the court before he jumps. After the speed that he held, that energy turned into gravitational potential energy because he is no longer running but instead he is jumping to make the slam dunk.
 * Energy**

Balance is obviously used in basketball. Without balance, no body could make a slam dunk the way Michael Jordan did it. Forces of balance are objects that stay in motion and objects that don't. In this case, it is a balance that is in motion because Michael Jordan is moving closer and closer to the net. Balance is the number one key when dunking. His speed is constantly changing as he is in motion.
