Does anyone know what's the 2nd law of motion for basketball?
I know it's Force divided by mass...

Law 2: f = ma = SUM(all forces); where f is the net force acting on the round ball of mass m. And thus a = f/m; so that when the net force on the ball launches it towards the basket, the ball will accelerate with a = f/m acceleration.
Note that the net force f = P - W; where P is the push of your one handed jump shot and W is a portion of the weight of the ball. Both P and W are vectors acting along the trajectory of the ball as it leaves the hand.

Newton's 2nd Law of Motion: Net Force = mass times acceleration.

I am not quite sure about the question. It implies that there is a 2nd law of motion for basketball. However, the Second Law of Motion or the Law of Acceleration tells us that the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the applied net force and inversely proportional the mass of the object. The 2nd law could apply not only to a basketball but to many objects.

the three rules are : 1st regulation A actual physique will proceed to be at relax, or proceed to bypass at a relentless speed, till an exterior internet tension acts upon it. e.g. The hand holds the basketball - at relax. The ball bounces - exterior tension. The ball strikes up and down - consistent speed - gravity 9.80 one 2d regulation fee of replace of momentum is proportional to the consequent tension producing it and happens interior the process that tension. e.g from bouncing ball to objective and shoot the ball - momentum ameliorations. enter the hoop - Resultant tension. third regulation to each action there is an equivalent and opposite reaction. e.g. After scoring and falls to the floor and bounce returned = opposite action. bear in mind a the theory of ninety degree triangle. A good triangle has one ninety° inner perspective (a superb perspective). The factor opposite to the superb perspective is the hypotenuse; it is the longest factor interior the superb triangle. the different 2 facets are the legs or catheti (singular: cathetus) of the triangle. Hypotenuse is the consequent tension and the two facets are the directional tension and the alternative tension.
