 * 1) **First law:** If an object experiences no net force, then its velocity is constant: the object is either at rest (if its velocity is zero), or it moves in a straight line with constant speed (if its velocity is non zero
 * 2) **Second law:** The acceleration A of a body is parallel and directly proportional to the net force F acting on the body, is in the direction of the net force, and is inversely proportional to the Mass m of the body, i.e., F = ma.
 * 3) **Third law:** When a first body exerts a force F1 on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force F2 = −F1 on the first body. This means that F1 and F2 are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

The sport that I’m using is basketball. media type="file" key="Memo (1).m4a" width="300" height="50"

 * Vocabulary Explained **
 * Lebron James is jumping up to shoot the ball in into the basket for a buzzer beater. His hand was the ** unbalanced ** ** force ** that shot the ball in the air. When it hit the net, the net had a ** reaction force ** and bounced up.
 * Lebron’s ** inertia ** is present as the mass of the ball will affect his initial ability to launch the ball in the correct trajectory, and to hit the basket.
 * Newton’s Third Law ( ** action ** -reaction) applies when a ** force ** is placed on the basketball that Lebron is either bouncing or aiming.
 * ** Gravity ** exerts a force downward on the ball that Lebron is aiming, causing it to travel in an arc as it approaches the rim.
 * In basketball, we see Newton's third law at work whenever Lebron shoots or passes the ball. The basketball has ** mass **, which means that he must use the appropriate amount of force when shooting or passing.
 * The amount of ** friction ** that a surface provides for Lebron also affects the way the ball bounces.
 * The greater the mass of the object being ** accelerated **, the more force needed to ** accelerate ** the basketball.
 * The forces on the basketball when Lebron goes to shoot another ball and it gets blocked. Lebron is pushing on the ball with equal force but from opposite directions. The forces on the ball are ** balanced **, and so the ball does not move.

==The objective of this sport is to competitively see how many baskets a team can score in a certain period of time. There are 10 players on the court, 5 on each team. ==
 * In basketball, a five-player team scores points by getting the ball through the hoop. Each basketball player has a specific position and responsibilities. The positions — which consist of two guards, two forwards, and one center — call for different physical requirements and skills.
 * Point Guard: Usually the shortest player on the team. Should be the team's best passer and ball handler; not primarily a shooter. Traditional role is to push the ball up court and start the offensive wheels turning. Should either take the ball to the basket or remain near the top of the key, ready to retreat on defense.
 * Shooting Guard: Generally taller than a point guard but shorter than a small forward. Not necessarily a great ball handler, but normally the team's best perimeter shooter. A good shooting guard (or two guard) comes off screens set by taller teammates prepared to shoot, pass, or drive to the basket.
 * Small Forward: The all-purpose player on offense: aggressive and strong; tall enough to mix it up inside but agile enough to handle the ball and shoot well. Must be able to score both from the perimeter and from inside.
 * Power Forward: Has muscles or at least a little bulk. Must be able to catch passes and hit shots near the basket. A good, rugged rebounder, but athletic enough to move with some quickness around the lane on offense and defense. Expected to score when given the opportunity on the baseline, much like a center, but usually has a range of up to 15 feet all around the basket.
 * Center: Usually the tallest player on the team. Should be able to post up offensively — that is, receive the ball with his back to the basket and use pivot moves to hit a variety of short jumpers, hook shots, and dunks. Also must know how to find the open player in the paint and grab offensive rebounds.
