Who knew science was in basketball? By: Alex Kryzan
How does science apply to basketball? Science can apply to basketball because you use some of the following concepts: Motion Speed Force Weight And Mass
How When someone is dribbling the ball or shooting the ball if you have ever noticed the ball changes position over time. The definition of motion is when an object changes position over time. When a ball is being dribbled the ball is rotating and moving with the person that is dribbling it. When a ball is shot it rotates in the air and ether goes up or down and that is motion.
How it applies! Speed applies to basketball because the ball can be dribbled at different speeds and thrown at different speeds. When a player throws a free throw or passes the ball or even makes a lay up, the ball is thrown at different speeds. When a player is passing the ball they can control the speed at witch it is going to be thrown. The same concept applies when someone is taking a shot. The player controls the speed that it is being thrown at. That is how speed applies.
Yes:It plays a big roll in basketball! If force plays a big roll in basketball then how doe’s it apply? • Doe’s it apply when you are dribbling? • Doe’s it apply when you are shooting? • Doe’s it apply when you are running? • Or doe’s it apply when you are making a layup? • What do you think is the right answer?
The answer is: When you use your hand to dribble the ball you push down on it with your hand and that is force. When a person is dribbling the ball they are pushing down on it and that is force being applied to the ball.
What do you think? • No, I do not think gravity applies to basketball. • Yes, I think gravity applies and I can explain why. • I do not know what is the right answer.
If you picked the first answer……. Your wrong
If you picked the second answer ………… Your right
Gravity: Gravity has a big role in basketball. When someone is shooting the ball the only way it is able to go in the net is because of gravity. Gravity pushes down on the ball and forces it to go down. Also when someone is dribbling the ball, gravity is pushing down on the ball and that is what makes it go down. If there was not gravity then the ball would not bounce down or it would not go in the net.
Mass Doe’s mass apply? If so why?
Mass: Mass surprisingly applies because in basketball you play with the most important thing a basketball! A basketball as mass because it has matter. Mass is the amount of matter in an object. A basketball has mass because it is blown up with air. When you dribble or shoot a basketball the only reason it bounces or is easy to throw is because of mass.
