stepping into the lab is a dominant
0:08
forward from dude
0:10
Jason Tatum with the 611 wingspan and a
0:20
max touch that's more than a foot and a
0:23
half above the rim Tatum has a defensive
0:27
range of nearly thirty three hundred
0:28
cubic feet that's larger than the range
0:32
of two-time NBA Defensive Player of the
0:35
Year Kawhi Leonard but it's not just as
0:40
defensive potential that's getting tatum
0:42
traction in the drop so to test the
0:46
limits of his scoring ability we want to
0:48
challenge his ability to battle his way
0:50
to the rim

[Music]
1:01
hear ye hear ye
1:05
Jason is now time for you to mean
1:08
eyesand
1:09
in the sports science lab no look better
1:13
than that in a sports science first it's
1:18
time to go medieval Jason what to earn
1:23
his knighthood by dunking in Armour with
1:26
the added weight representing defenders
1:28
hanging off him down low the wrought
1:32
iron chainmail weighs 20 pounds the most
1:36
ridiculous thing I've ever done by 5
1:45
but he easily flushes the rock home so
1:51
the next step was to keep hiring on the
1:53
armour tatum now weighs a whopping 270
1:58
almost a third more than his normal body
2:01
weight with our aspiring knight ready
2:07
for battle
2:07
we let him charge compared to a normal
2:13
dunk the armor restricts his shoulders
2:16
range of motion by 30 degrees and it
2:20
reduces his apex by 10 inches but with
2:25
launching power that equates to more
2:27
than two and a half times his body
2:28
weight Tatum gets enough air to slay the
2:32
rim that was amazing how did it feel
2:40
like you carrying the whole thing

Use your example to answer the guiding question:
How are force, mass, and acceleration related to an object's motion?

This video provides examples of how force, mass, and acceleration are related to an object's motion. When Jason Tatum dunks with the added weight of armor and chainmail, his mass increases and he needs to exert greater force to overcome the added resistance. This results in a reduced range of motion and a lower apex. However, his ability to generate launching power through acceleration enables him to still successfully dunk. Overall, the greater the force and acceleration an object can generate with its given mass, the greater its ability to overcome resistance and move with more speed and power.
