Physics in Sports Introduction Billiards‚ Pool or 8 Ball are the names given to this game. For many of us 8 Ball is a game that we play at friends’ place or at pool houses‚ pubs and a good many other places. But when you are playing 8 Ball you would never really think about physics would you? But it is there‚ and it is in play everytime the cue hits the ball to make it curve‚ everytime you jump the ball over another or bounce it around the cushioned sides to get the white ball

Cocker and Walton Prizes 2012 Physics in Medicine By Fayaz Rahaman ➢ Introduction Physics is about understanding the laws that govern the world around us. Most people know about the problems solved and the discoveries made by physicists in the past‚ such as the orbits of planets found by Galileo‚ the law of gravity first unravelled by Newton and later extended by Einstein. It is not as widely

Janay Wright-Parks Physics-Sports Paper Brad Ingram 29 March 2013 Physics of Gymnastics In the world of sports‚ physic concepts are being applied every day. Most people who play or watch a sport don’t think about the physics behind it all. When I watch a sport like gymnastics‚ I am always amazed at how a person’s body can bend and twist in the way that gymnasts bodies do. It is nothing but physics. Angular momentum is the main physics concept used in gymnastics‚ and this can be seen in events
