[00:02] That's because Colin and the entire basketball court are on a ship moving 25 basketball court are on a ship moving 25 mph or 36.67 ft per second. From Colin's traveled the normal 15 ft. However, if you are watching from the outside of
[00:15] Destiny, you'll see the ball travel farther because the ship, ball, and hoop Newton's first law. If I throw a basketball up in the air on land, it doesn't travel horizontally because I'm at rest. But if I am moving and throw
[00:29] travel forward because an object in motion stays in motion unless something farther the ball travels in the air. Since the ship is going 25 mph and the ball is in the air for 1.5 seconds, we can calculate that the hoop traveled 55
[00:43] ft while the ball flew an additional 15 ft from the free throw line to the hoop, ft from the free throw line to the hoop, meaning it traveled 70 feet total.
