Abstract: Lacrosse is one the fastest growing sports in the world. Originally played by Native Americans this contact sport now has its own professional league and is played throughout many collegiate and high school levels. The game involves sticks in which the player uses to catch and shoot a ball into the opposing teams goal. While many players may not notice, lacrosse is found to have many signs of physics within the sport itself. Newton's Laws of Motion can be found with the ball and collisions. Another example would be torque and lever when passing and shooting. Friction is also found in the lacrosse sticks. Physics is very much apparent in game and can help educate you more about the sport of lacrosse.
Awesome work! I loved to see that we had the same project, yet I could still learn something from yours!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy that lacrosse has so much to do with physics. Originally I thought it was glorified golf for people who weren't that strong or fast, but with your "formulas" I learned that it's real "science"!
ReplyDeleteNice work! It's crazy how much physics is related to sports including this one!
ReplyDeleteLacrosse seems like a very interesting sport to play. It seems very similar to soccer and football.
ReplyDeleteNice project! It was cool to learn how much torque affected the speed of the ball.
ReplyDeleteI used to play lacrosse, and with this information i woudlve been so much better.
ReplyDeleteI really learned a lot about how physics relates to lacrosse. Great project.
