    This document provides examples of sports that exhibit projectile motion, including basketball where players shoot the ball towards the hoop in a curved path, baseball where the pitcher throws the ball to the batter in a parabolic trajectory, and football where quarterbacks pass the ball to receivers in a curving path. It explains that projectile motion is seen in sports because gravity causes objects launched at an angle to move in a curved or parabolic path through the air towards a target.

    Some examples of sports and games that exhibit projectile motion:

    1. Basketball: Players shoot the ball at an angle towards the hoop, exhibiting projectile motion.
    When the ball is released from the player's hands, it travels through the air in a curved path
    due to the force of gravity acting on it.

    2. Baseball: When a pitcher throws a pitch towards the batter, the ball exhibits projectile
    motion. The pitcher releases the ball at an angle, and it travels through the air in a parabolic
    path towards the batter.

    3. Football: When a quarterback throws a pass towards a receiver, the ball also exhibits
    projectile motion. The quarterback releases the ball at an angle, and it travels through the air in
    a curving path towards the receiver, who catches it or misses it.

    Projectile motion is exhibited in sports and games because of the force of gravity acting on the
    object. When an object is launched at an angle, it moves in a curved or parabolic path due to
    the force of gravity. This is why many sports and games involve throwing or hitting a ball at an
    angle towards a target.
