Running is probably the most important skill in basketball. This is because as a basketball player, you need be able to tun without and with the basketball while keeping it under control. If you have a greater acceleration than the ball, you will not have control of the ball.
Kinematics
To be a successful basketball player, it is very important to be skilled while running and dribbling at the same time. Running involves many kinematic elements such as, acceleration, velocity, and mass.

First, in my givens list, i know displacement is 4.5m because thats how far the athlete ran, time is 2.4s because thats how long it took her, vi is zero because the athlete is starting from rest, and the mass of the athlete is 50kg. To find final velocity, i can use the equation 2(d)=vf(t). After solving for vf, i got 3.67m/s.
Next, to find acceleration of the athlete running, i used the equation a=vf-vi/t. The acceleration of the athlete running is 1.49m/s.
Next, to find acceleration of the athlete running, i used the equation a=vf-vi/t. The acceleration of the athlete running is 1.49m/s.
Forces:
First, i found FNET by calculating mass x acceleration. FNET is 0.745N. Next, i calculated force of gravity by multiplying mass x acceleration due to gravity. After i solved for Fg, i found Fs(max) by multiplying Fn x Us. I know that Us is 0.5 because i searched the coefficient of static friction of hardwood. Fs(max) is 2.45N. After i found Fs, i knew i could find force applied to adding Fs by FNET. Force applied equals 3.195N.

Energy and Power:
To find the amount of energy and power needed to run 4.5m, i used the work and power equations. I found that this athlete needs 3.35J of energy and 1.36W of power.
Where does all the energy go when you dribble a basketball?
As you dribble a basketball, it starts with potential energy. As the ball leaves your hand, the potential energy changes into kinetic energy as the ball drops towards the grownd. Kinetic energy changes back into potential energy as the ball bounces up from the floor.
