(a) Draw a graph of net force as a
function of time for a 0.650-kg
basketball being shot. During
the first 0.15 s, Fnet increases
linearly from 0 N to 22 N.
During the next 0.25 s, Fnet
decreases linearly to 0 N.
(b) Using the graph, calculate the
magnitude of the impulse
provided to the basketball.
(c) What is the speed of the
ball when it leaves the
shooter’s hands?
