The threat of 3-point shooting has a powerful effect on defensive positioning. So, how is NBA shooting gravity defined and how can we visualize it?

This is often described as "the acceleration due to gravity". Is this really the best thing to call this? No. A better name would be "the local gravitational field" and list it in units of: ...

The force is the force due to gravity, pulling the coin down to the ground, and the acceleration describes the coin's motion due to this force. The force due to gravity is a constant, at least here on ...

The acceleration due to gravity depends on how quickly your potential changes as you move (pauli's broad and deep but gradual well, vs small but steep well -- it's always amused me that we use a ...

He did this because it was easier to calculate acceleration on certain things, however he had also different objects accelerating differently (due to moments of inertia).

AN absolute determination of the acceleration due to gravity at a site in the National Physical Laboratory has recently been completed. It is the first to be made by timing the symmetrical up-and ...
