it to bounce higher. This experiment was decided by observations made while playing the sport basketball. It was observed that when a basketball is left in the sun and made warm‚ the ball bounces higher when dribbled than if left inside. Our assumed result was that an increase in temperature would cause an increase in air pressure causing the bounce of the basketball to increase. The independent variable was the temperature in which a basketball was in. The dependent variable was the bounce height

reaction time. If an object is in free fall‚ the only force acting upon it is gravity. The object used in this experiment was a golf ball that provided some acceleration when dropped. A sensor positioned underneath a table recorded the golf ball’s pattern of motion‚ when dropped. The main objective of performing this experiment is to measure the velocity and position of the ball to eventually find the acceleration of free fall. A computer program called‚ DataStudio‚ was used to create a graph of position

game. They used rackets (bats/paddles) with velum stretched over an outer casing (similar to small drum) attached to a handle. This gave arise to the name Ping Pong which was derived from the sound that was made by different sized rackets striking the ball. Table Tennis is played on a hard table measuring: 9 feet (2.74m) long‚ 5 feet (1.525m) wide and 2 feet 6 inches (76cm) high and the net is: 6 feet (1.83m) long and 6 inches (15.25cm) high. The racket may be of any size‚ shape or weight. The rules

When this happened the borax and water turned into a watery green solution. then we added 15ml of glue in the cup labeled ‘Ball mixture’ and added the mixture we made in the cup labeled ‘ borax solution into the ‘ball mixture’ we then began stirring the mixture for about 2 minutes and as we continued to stir the solution began to become less and less waters and instead into a somewhat pasty solution. We waited

“lost” by the ball after 1 bounce II. Procedure: 1. Gather All Materials 2. Select a height at which to drop the golf ball from (ours being .7m) as to maintain consistency 3. Drop the ball from said height and closely watch the height it travels after the first‚ second and third bounce. Do so 5 times. 4. Using the measurements and given formulas calculate the amount of energy “lost” after the first 3 bounces III. Data Table: Trial Golf Ball Bounce #1 Height (m) Golf Ball Bounce #2 Height (m)

Then‚ you step one foot forward to increase your energy as you push through with the ball. After that‚ you release the ball making sure that your arms are straight you’re your wrist is pointed upwards to help fully extend your arms. Keep your eye on the receiver to ensure accuracy and finally push the ball away with your fingertips. Bounce pass: The bounce pass is used when defenders

The sport of tennis has multiple opportunities in which the study of physics can go in depth. The sport’s court‚ racquet‚ ball‚ and even the player contain unlimited amounts of physics in which a person can go more into detail with as they study. While it is true that these all contain some form of physics‚ the racquet and how it interacts with the ball is where most of the physics is apparent. Starting with the racquet a person is able to see four main areas of focus. These focuses consist of the

a lightweight‚ hollow ball back and forth with rackets (also known as ’bats’ or ’paddles’). The game takes place on a hard table divided by a net. Players must allow a ball played toward them only one bounce on their side of the table and must return it so that it bounces on the opposite side. Points are scored when a player fails to return the ball within the rules. Play is fast and demands quick reactions. A skilled player can impart several varieties of spin to the ball‚ altering its trajectory
