The Physics of Basketball Brittney LeBlanc Physics 122 Physics comes into play throughout our lives‚ in absolutely everything we do‚ especially in sports such as basketball. Although you do not need to be a physician to become a basketball player‚ if you understand the basic physics of basketball‚ it can be very beneficial to your game. Specifically‚ understanding the physics behind shooting‚ passing‚ and dribbling the basketball. A Canadian named‚ Dr. James Naismith‚ was instructed to create an

“The Domino Effect” Teacher’s Prompt Investigate the domino effect with a set of dominoes. Aim To investigate the relationship between the mass of the dominoes‚ and how it impacts the time taken of the domino effect. Independent Variable: The mass of each domino (12.38 g‚ 32.38 g‚ 42.38 g‚ 62.38 g‚ 82.38 g). Dependent Variable: Time taken of the domino effect. Controlled Variable: The number of dominoes used (8 dominoes)‚ the distance between the dominoes (2 cm)‚ the loads used as the initial

Introduction: Purpose: The Purpose of this experiment is to find the width of a piece of hair using diffraction pattern created by a thin film. Hypothesis: If the hair is human it will have a width of 10-4m. Procedure: 1. Place two pieces of glass flat against each other. 2. Obtain a piece of long hair‚ most likely from one group member’s head. 3. Place the hair between the sheets of glass on one edge. 4. Place a rubber band around the pieces of glass on the side opposite

LAB WRITE-UP NAME: Gabriel-Ohanu Emmanuel PARTNER: Baptiste Gilman TITLE: Graph Matching PURPOSE: The purpose of the experiment was to analyze the motion of a student walking along a straight line in front of the motion detector moving back and forward with different speed trying to match the graph provided. To also understand and interpret graphs of distance vs time and velocity vs time. To also know what the slopes of the each graph represent which tells how far the student travelled
