As it were, company as a legal individual must be freely with all its capital contribution shall embrace liability for its legal actions and obligations of the company’s shareholders is limited to its investment to the company. This ‘separate legal entity’ principle was established in the case of Salomon v Salomon & Co Ltd [1987] as company was held to have conducted the business as a legal person and separate from its members.

  • The Force to Dribble a Basketball

    844 Words  | 2 Pages

    If you think about it, it’s almost impossible to measure the force that it takes to dribble a basketball, unless you have the right tools. Let’s just think about the basic physics that you should know. In order to dribble a basketball you need to apply enough force for the ball to go from your hand to the floor and back up to your hand. When the ball is in your hand it is holding potential energy. Potential energy is the energy that is about to be transferred into kinetic energy, which is when the energy is in use. The ball is in kinetic energy after it leaves your hand and starts to fall. So the force of gravity has to be less than the force of the bounce to keep the dribbling going.

  • How It Works: Projectile Motion in Basketball

    1206 Words  | 3 Pages

    Passing is perhaps one of the most important components of the sport. A game would be impossible without the assistance of passing and team work. To successfully carryout a pass, many factors have to be taken into account. In order to begin a pass, first a player must exert a force on the basketball. Once the ball leaves the hands of the player, it becomes a projectile. A projectile is acted upon by two independent forces: the x and y components. The x component is the force exerted on the ball by the player while the y component is pulled by the force of gravity, -9.8m/s². As a result of the independent components, the ball will travel in a downward parabolic path, or trajectory. Since the ball travels a downward path, the player throws the ball towards a target located a little higher than where the player wishes the ball would go in order to compensate for the downward path. Another factor that affects the successfulnes...

    Some say defence is the most important part of the game because it's what wins you the game. The first thing you need to know about defence is defensive slides. You have to be low so you can move faster and your arms out in the passing lane. With defensive slides you have to slide along with the person you are guarding while being close enough to create pressure on the ball handler, but not too close to where they can just go right past you. If you are not guarding the ball you must always have your eyes on the ball and your person. Man defence isn't the only type of defence played. Other essential defences include; zone defences, and trap defences. A zone defence is where you guard a certain zone instead of a man. Equally as important is trap defences where you emphasize pressure on the other team, with a goal to trap the ball handler and force a
