basketball. When you shoot the ball to make a basket, the force with which it is thrown, combats with gravity. This determines at what point the ball will start to fall towards the basket.

All sports are afected by gravity.
Football, for one, is strongly influenced by gravity in the passing
and kicking of the football.
A quarterback picks out his target receiver and throws the football to him in a long arc that extends from his hand, up into the air, and back down into the receiver's hands (assuming it was a good pass). Without gravity the football would keep going up and never fall into the receiver's hands.
On fourth down, the offensive team usually kicks the ball to the opposition team (Defense). When the kicker boots the ball it travels up and away from the kick, then begins to fall back down because of gravity. If gravity suddenly stopped pulling down, the ball would keep right on going up, up and away.

The gravity bends easy. This has been examined and examined. This proves one element. photos do have mass. while they have mass they must be affected while easy tries to flee from a gravitational container. the lack of information of the sunshine ends up in distinctive arguable fact. i don't be attentive to is there any measurements of speed of sunshine below 0 gravity in vacuum. there's a crimson shift phenomena of sunshine nicely documented and used to degree the value of stars, galaxies and so on. If the belief of persevering with easy speed is real then one rationalization must be the frequency shifts downwards in direction of crimson. this could shrink the capability of the sunshine. A stress reduces the capability. The capability alleviation might nicely be decreased speed or crimson shift. it extremely is the only achieveable rationalization conceivable at the instant. I strongly propose study a sprint diagnosis papers in this situation.

All sport is affected by gravity. It holds the players on the playing surface.

pretty much every sport. any time you have a "projectile" gravity becomes a very prominent player. so when hit a baseball, kick or throw a football, shoot a basketball, hit a golf ball, etc. gravity brings them back down.
of course gravity has a effect on everything so it effects peoples ability to jump and run, etc.
one very easy thing would also be too consider olympic weightlifting.

Skydiving.
Bungee jumping.
In both sports, gravity pulls the participant downward toward the Earth. Gravity is counteracted, in skydiving, by the drag of a parachute. In bungee jumping, gravity is counteracted by the pull of the bungee.

Golf. You whack the golf ball up in the air and gravity pulls it back down.
Pretty much any sport is going to use gravity in one way or another.

Gravity is necessary for everything or we would be lost in space. So pick one and your right!

Olympic diving.
It causes you to barrel down.
