Newton’s 2nd law of motion, allows us to reliably predict the motion of certain objects. When a basketball player takes a free throw shot, the ball follows a natural arc, ascending after leaving the player's hand and descending due to gravity. However, its horizontal motion continues uninterrupted, forming a parabolic trajectory. Achieving the perfect free throw requires a solid grasp of the underlying physics. Basketball is a game of trajectories. These trajectories are unique in that the ball’s motion doesn’t change much when it is projected (Silverberg 2018). Tracking software enables the analysis and graphical representation of the ball's motion during a free throw. This motion exhibits both vertical and horizontal components, which are independent of each other, in line with Newton's Laws of Physics and the kinematic equations governing projectile motion.
