    We can relate physics to softball in many different ways. It is actually hard to not think about the game of softball without some physics in mind. Specifically‚ the ideas of momentum and energy helps define the way softball works and why it works. Momentum Running: When running the bases in softball‚ there is a lot more to it then the average person would think. While we run the bases‚ we are changing our momentum by applying more force‚ the force of friction‚ onto the ground which causes more
