What are the basic rules of basketball? Are the rules different for men’s versus women’s competition?

2 answers:

4 0

The 5 main rules are two teams of five players each try to score by shooting a ball through a hoop elevated 10 feet above the ground. The game is played on a rectangular floor called the court, and there is a hoop at each end. The rules are basically the same but the women's ball is one inch smaller than the mens ball.

Rules

1. The ball may be thrown in any direction with one or both hands.

2. The ball may be batted in any direction with one or both hands (never with the fist).

3. A player cannot run with the ball. The player must throw it from the spot on which he catches it, allowance to be made for a man who catches the ball when running at a good speed if he tries to stop.

4. The ball must be held in or between the hands; the arms or body must not be used for holding it.

5. No shouldering, holding, pushing, tripping, or striking in any way the person of an opponent shall be allowed; the first infringement of this rule by any player shall count as a foul, the second shall disqualify him until the next goal is made, or, if there was evident intent to injure the person, for the whole of the game, no substitute allowed.

6. A foul is striking at the ball with the fist, violation of Rules 3,4, and such as described in Rule 5.

7. If either side makes three consecutive fouls, it shall count a goal for the opponents (consecutive means without the opponents in the mean time making a foul).

8. A goal shall be made when the ball is thrown or batted from the grounds into the basket and stays there, providing those defending the goal do not touch or disturb the goal. If the ball rests on the edges, and the opponent moves the basket, it shall count as a goal.

9. When the ball goes out of bounds, it shall be thrown into the field of play by the person first touching it. In case of a dispute, the umpire shall throw it straight into the field. The thrower-in is allowed five seconds; if he holds it longer, it shall go to the opponent. If any side persists in delaying the game, the umpire shall call a foul on that side.

10. The umpire shall be judge of the men and shall note the fouls and notify the referee when three consecutive fouls have been made. He shall have power to disqualify men according to Rule 5.

11. The referee shall be judge of the ball and shall decide when the ball is in play, in bounds, to which side it belongs, and shall keep the time. He shall decide when a goal has been made, and keep account of the goals with any other duties that are usually performed by a referee.

12. The time shall be two 15-minute halves, with five minutes' rest between.

13. The side making the most goals in that time shall be declared the winner. In case of a draw, the game may, by agreement of the captains, be continued until another goal is made.

Take a car collision as an example, the more you speed up as means of acceleration, the more force will be on impact.

If the forces are equal and opposite why does the rocket ship move

qaws [65]

A rocket in its simplest form is a chamber enclosing a gas under pressure. A small opening at one end of the chamber allows the gas to escape, and in doing so provides a thrust that propels the rocket in the opposite direction. A good example of this is a balloon. Air inside a balloon is compressed by the balloon's rubber walls. The air pushes back so that the inward and outward pressing forces are balanced. When the nozzle is released, air escapes through it and the balloon is propelled in the opposite direction.

There are four coils of wire being used as electromagnets. They all have the same size and are made up of the same material but

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The coil with the maximum number of loops will produce the magnetic field with the maximum strength.

Explanation:

The magnetic field produced by a current-carrying coil at a point on the axis which is passing through its center and perpendicular to its plane is given by

$\rm B=\dfrac{\mu_o N I }{2}\ \dfrac{R^2}{(r^2+R^2)^{3/2}}.$

where,

$\mu_o$ = magnetic permeability of the free space.
N = number of loops of the coil.
I = current flowing through the coil.
R = radius of the coil.
r = distance of the point where the magnetic field is to be found from the center of the coil.

Now, it is given that all the four coils have the same size, means same radius R, same material, means same permeability for all the coils, and the same amount of current is passing through all the coils, means same current I.

The magnetic field of all the four coils is differing only due to the number of loops N.

Thus, the coil with the maximum number of loops N will produce the magnetic field with the maximum strength.
