Hi, can anyone give me some help on the following question:
A basketball player is getting ready to jump, what are the forces acting on both the basketball player and the ground as he is jumping but before his feet leaves the ground.
I was also required to draw 2 free body diagrams...
thanks
-edit
well, actually i know that on the player, there's the force of gravity pointing down, and another applied force with a greater magnitude pointing upwards, I am not sure whether's still a normal force.
and on the ground, there's an applied forced by the player acting downwards, is that all?
