Graph to Show Connor’s Results with the Different Balls

Graph to show averages of each individual’s different scores with different types of balls

y

X
The y-axis represents vertical displacement, while the x-axis represents horizontal displacement. The red line represents a pitching wedge, the black line a 9-iron and the blue line a driver. This graph represents how the horizontal and vertical displacement differs from each type of golf club. The pitching wedge is a club that goes for an accuracy approach, while a driver is aimed at achieving horizontal displacement.
From the table of results and the accompanying graph, a summary of the results can be identified. The results show that generally each change of the golf ball results in a consistent increase in distance hit produced by each individual. Bar from James, the results are almost identical when averages are calculated. James was

    In the scientific report, See the Ball, Hit the Ball, scientists, Jessica Witt and Dennis Proffitt, discussed their study of ball size perception when players are hitting well as opposed to when they are in a slump. The report included a background of the research, the methods used, the results, and a discussion of the study. Witt and Proffitt conducted the study to determine how performance efficiency and perception are correlated by determine if there is a relationship between hitting success and perceived ball size.…

    Skeletal Muscle Lab

    Introduction: Motor neurons and muscle fibers are the building blocks of motor units and where they intersect is called the neuromuscular junciton. The region where the flattened end of a motor neuron transmits neural impulses to a muscle is the motor end-plate. The end plate potentials depolarizes skeletal muscle fibers caused by neurotransmitters binding to the postsynaptic membrane in the neuromuscular junction. The process of contraction of the muscle cell is called excitation-contraction coupling. In this experiment, when we used a single electrical stimulus, it resulted in a muscle twitch with three phases: latent period, contraction phase, and the relaxation phase.…

    Skeletal muscle lab

    Skeletal muscles are composed of hundreds to thousands of individual cells, each doing their share of work in the production of force. As their name suggests, skeletal muscles move the skeleton. Skeletal muscles are remarkable machines; while allowing us the manual dexterity to create magnificent works of art, they are also capable of generating the brute force needed to lift a 100-lb. sack of concrete. When a skeletal muscle from an experimental animal is electrically stimulated, it behaves in the same way as a stimulated muscle in the intact body, that is, in vivo. Hence, such an experiment gives us valuable insight into muscle behavior.…

    Lab: Muscle Physiology

    * As we cut the root of the right sciatic nerve of the frog in the experiment, the right lower leg of the frog becomes limp. The right gastrocnemius muscle lost its firmness and becomes flabby while I have observed as we compared the tonicity of the muscles with the left gastrocnemius muscle (with the root of left sciatic nerve is still intact) it is different. The left gastrocnemius muscle remains firm with the sciatic nerve connected. This observation is supported with the fact that “afferent and efferent connections of the right gastrocnemius muscle with the spinal cord has been…

    Muscle Contraction Lab Report

    Thato’s muscle had remained unused for 6 weeks. Once the cast is removed and he steps down from the examination table, his muscle begins to contract. Due to this 6 week period of rest, the muscles initial strength of contraction may be significantly low as compared to its strength a few minutes later. The strength of contraction of his muscle increases to a plateau, which is termed the staircase effect. Due to his muscles low initial strength of contraction, Thato loses his balance and falls.…

    Applied Kinesiology

    Ignorance along with pain can be a troublesome combination when seeking medical care. If one only knew how many different medical treatments are out there that don’t work, we would think twice before seeking medical treatment. This is the case with applied Kinesiology also known as AK. Applied kinesiology is, according to its believers, a system that evaluates structural, chemical, and mental aspects of health using manual muscle testing alongside conventional diagnostic methods. The essential premise of applied kinesiology that is not shared by mainstream medical theory is that every organ dysfunction is accompanied by a weakness in a specific corresponding muscle, the viscerosomatic relationship.[1][2] One can be easily convinced by any well…

    Centre of gravity for an athlete is dependent on different substances, such as muscle, bone fat, and equipment possible worn by the athlete. These all have different densities and make the centre of gravity different for many athletes. Athletes can change and move their centre of gravity from one position to another and with training allows them to position their centre of gravity in ways in which gets the optimal performance out of them. For example a golfer has to train their centre of gravity to get the best from themselves on a golf swing. A footballer has to change their centre of gravity on a free kick or simply passing or shooting!…

    Split Tensile Strength Lab Report

    The splitting tests are well known indirect tests, were conducted as per IS 5816:1999 and used in the concrete tensile strength determination sometimes called split tensile strength of concrete. The size of cylinder is 300mm length with 150mm diameter or 200mm with 100mm diameter. The specimen were kept in water for curing for 3 days, 7 days and 21 days and on test day remove and allow the surface to dry. The test is performed out by placing a cylindrical specimen horizontally between the loading surfaces of a compression testing machine and the load is applied until failure of the cylinder along the vertical diameter occurs, record the maximum load applied to the specimen and note the appearance of the concrete for any…
