Physics in Lacrosse


Abstract: 

In my research, I found that the physics behind lacrosse has more meaning than any player would have thought.  Laws of physics can help lacrosse players adjust their shot, their way of cradling the ball, and their passes as well as catches. Most players follow the laws of physics without even realizing it. If players were not to use the basic laws of physics, they could potentially hurt themselves, other players, or teammates. Newton's Laws of Motion can be found and used with the movement of the ball on the field, catching, and the resistance forces. Torque and friction can also be found when passing and shooting. Now, non-lacrosse players can understand how apparent physics is throughout the game and how players actually control their bodies during the game.

  3. So cool to read about your relation with physics with something you do almost every day! Loved how you spoke about frictional forces, resistance, and Newton's Laws! It was different from any other project I researched. Great job!!
