Motion Analysis: Basketball Jump Shot The main joints involved in a basketball jump shot include the hip‚ knee‚ ankle‚ shoulder‚ elbow‚ and wrist. All of these joints flex and extend. The jump shot can be split into three parts: the set-up‚ the jump and release‚ and the post-release. The set-up involves a lot of flexion and extension of the hip‚ knee‚ ankle‚ and shoulder. Hip flexion occurs first and flexion of both knees until the thighs are parallel to the ground follows closely. Knee flexion

Sir Isaac Newton‚ to me‚ is probably the most influential person to my academic life. If I were given the opportunity to hold a 30-minute conversation with any person in history‚ I would choose him. Isaac Newton was one of the most important contributors to the fields of physics and calculus‚ subjects I hold highly for their fascinating complexity. For his scientific and mathematical contributions‚ Newton revolutionized the intellectual world. His three laws of motion provide the fundamentals of

Isaac Newton was Born on January 4‚ 1643‚ in Woolsthorpe‚ England. Isaac Newton was a great physicist and mathematician‚ and was credited as one of the greatest minds of the 17th century and Scientific Revolution. With Isaac Newton’s discoveries in optics‚ motion and mathematics‚ he developed the principles of modern physics. At age 12‚ Isaac Newton had attended The King’s School‚ Grantham. Where he was taught the basics and classics‚ but he wasn’t taught any sciences or mathematics. When he turned

perceives the world. Isaac Newton was the first person to describe the force of gravity and make the perception of the scientific world more than clear. Newton developed methods and theories in physics‚ optics and mathematics‚ he described his laws of motion in 1687 in his work titled “Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica”. Isaac Newton derived an understanding of physics by combining his ideas of force and motion under a single theory‚ Newton’s laws of motion. Isaac Newton was born on December

When discussing Isaac Newton the first thing that comes to mind is what a great scientist he was. While researching for this paper I learned there was so many other interesting facts in the life of Sir Isaac Newton. Isaac Newton was born December 25th 1642 in Lincolnshire‚ New England. (This date was later changed to January 4‚ 1643 when the Gregorian calendar was adopted in England.) Newton’s parents were Isaac Newton and Hannah Ayscoug. Newton’s father passed away in October 1642‚ three months

Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz are two of the most supreme intellects of the 17th century. They are both considered to be the inventors of Calculus. However‚ after a terrible dispute‚ Sir Isaac Newton took most of the credit. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716) was a German philosopher‚ mathematician‚ and statesman born in the country of Leipzig. He received his education at the universities of Leipzig‚ Jena‚ and Altdorf.

Lab II‚ Problem 3: Projectile Motion and Velocity Oct. 06‚ 2013 Physics 1301W‚ Professor: Hanany‚ TA: Vladimir Abstract A ball is tossed obliquely. The vectors of position and velocity are measured. The acceleration is calculated. Introduction A toy company is now making an instructional videotape on how to predict the position. Therefore‚ in order to make the prediction accurate‚ how the horizontal and vertical components of a ball’s position as it flies through the air should

GILBERT NEWTON LEWIS passed away on March 23‚ 1946 in Berkeley‚ California in his laboratory at the University of California when he was working on an experiment with liquid hydrogen cyanide‚ and deadly fumes from a broken line had leaked into the laboratory causing him to have a heart attack‚ at the age of 70. Lewis was born on October 23‚ 1875 in Weymouth‚ Massachusetts. He was educated at home by his parents. He learned how to read at a very young age and was well educated until age thirteen when

Background Information: Equation One: T=2πlg Where T = the period of the pendulum (s). This is the time taken for the pendulum to return to its starting position. l = length of the pendulum g = the rate of acceleration due to gravity (ms-2) * In

Perceiving Motion‚ I learned how we typically act in our daily lives. As humans‚ we are constantly acting‚ either dramatically such as riding a bike or routinely‚ as in reaching for a coffee cup or walking across the room. Whatever form of action takes‚ it involves motion‚ and one of the things that makes the study of motion perception fascinating and challenging is that we are not simply passive observers of the motion of others‚ we often move ourselves. We as well perceive motion while being stationary
