Abstract:
Basketball is widely considered as one of the most popular sports in the world in today's day and age, and the number of people today who participate grows every single year. While the idea behind basketball and its rules may be considered straight forward and simple by many, there are many ways in which physics, and science is taken into consideration with the basic fundamentals of the sport. In my research, i will explain the basic fundamentals of basketball, and how that ties into many different types of physics concepts. Those being Projectile motion, linear motion, Inertia, backspin, and of course, gravity. I will be demonstrating how each of these physics components tie into the game of basketball, and how each effect the sport and a number of different ways. The basic skills of jumping up for a shot, or the backspin put on the ball when shooting are both examples of ways physics plays into the basic aspects of the sports, without natural realization from those who play! All information found in my research paper can be found in the "Works Cited" page listed above.
Haha! Nice project Jelani. Hopefully this can hone your basketball skills. Physics can sure be helpful sometimes!!
ReplyDeleteGreat project. I was really intrested about just how important linear motion is to physics. Didn't think jumping a shot involves so much physics, and how the vertical component plays such a big role.
ReplyDeleteWow i love basketball and i'm way better than you at it. Good presentation though!
ReplyDeleteGreat Work J-Silk! Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteGood presentation
ReplyDeleteReally interesting project. I was shocked on how much physics go into a basketball shoot. How linear and projectile motion are both used by players to create plays and shoots in order to score and win.
ReplyDeleteI didn't like basketball before, and it's still not my favorite but your project made it more interesting!
ReplyDeleteWow, this was a really informative presentation. Who could know what there is so much physics in basketball. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteWoah! This piece of work was nothing but net! Too bad your jump shot isn't!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed learning about the physics in basketball. You should take some tips from this project to improve your shot.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! I never knew basketball had some much physics involved!
