This document discusses various concepts in sport science related to a basket toss. It explains that the flyer experiences acceleration as she is thrown into the air and comes back down. Balanced and unbalanced forces are discussed, noting that balanced forces allow the flyer to move straight up and down, while unbalanced forces could cause her to move sideways. Gravity is identified as the fundamental force bringing the flyer back down, and equations for calculating speed are provided.

2. Press the place button the watch video. This is a video of a classic basket toss that went right!

3. Acceleration: The flyer is showing acceleration because in the beginning she is at rest without moving then her speed increases after she is thrown in the air. At the peak of her rising she is a rest again, but not for long. As she is coming down she is gaining negative acceleration.

4. Unbalanced and balanced forces There are balanced forces because the flyer goes straight up and comes straight down, if there were unbalanced forces she would go toward the side that was weaker, like in the video in the next slide.

7. Fundamental Forces: Gravity Gravity is the reason why the flyer comes back down from the basket toss. If there wasn’t gravity the flyer would go right up to space. The gravitational force is equal to the mass of the flyer times the gravitational pull (f=ma, a=32ft/s^2)
