The three forces that are present as a basketball is tossed upward into a hoop are:
1. Gravity/Weight: This force pulls the basketball downward towards the Earth. It acts vertically downward from the center of mass of the basketball.
2. Push/Thrust: This force is initially exerted by the person throwing the basketball upwards. It propels the basketball in the desired direction.
3. Air Resistance/Friction: As the basketball moves through the air, it experiences air resistance or friction. This force opposes the motion of the basketball and affects its velocity and trajectory.
