"Baseball ’s a simple game. You hit the ball. You throw the ball. You catch the ball‚" said a well-respected baseball manager by the name of Casey Stengel. Mr. Stengel was a baseball man‚ not a mathematician nor a physicist. Physics and mathematics can be applied to the game of baseball on every pitch‚ and on every swing of the bat. To understand the physics of the game‚ it is first necessary to look at the center of the game‚ the ball. Section 1.09 of the Official Baseball Rules states that

PHYSICS OF THE PAST One hundred years ago‚ in a poky apartment in Bern‚ Switzerland‚ Albert Einstein‚ then just a 26-year-old patent office clerk still working part-time towards his PhD‚ published five ground breaking scientific papers. Each of these papers‚ written during Einstein’s annus mirabilis ‚ has become a "classic" in the history of science: On a Heuristic Viewpoint Concerning the Production and Transformation of Light ‚ which discusses optical photons and photoelectric effects.

Physics of Sports A sport isn’t just about winning; it is also about strategy‚ how the game is played‚ and performance of the athletes. Physics is the last topic many people associate with sports. However‚ physics can be applied to every aspect of any sport‚ which is a study referred to as Sports Science. Components of this study include gravity‚ projectile motion‚ acceleration‚ force‚ vectors‚ etc. With new technology that physics in sports introduce‚ more possibilities of physical science can

Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to form a yeast mixture with water‚ organic compound like sucrose‚ Ba (OH) 2 for fermentation process‚ and use simple distillation method to purification from the fermentation mixture. Abstract and Theory: There are many techniques that are used to purify liquid. The one that is going to use for this lab is simple distillation. It is a process of which separating a mixture based on the tendency of the mixture to vaporize into a boiling liquid. For this particular

Physics can be related to sports and fitness on many different levels. When you lift weights‚ play sports or even buy athletic equipment you probably don’t know how much physics was really put into any of it. Weightlifter’s need to know which workout is better. Also the equipment athletes use relate to physics. Manufactures design equipment for athletes‚ which involve physics. The manufactures need to think about what will make the object better and what materials will cause the equipment

Christopher Gooden Dr. Jan Yarrison-Rice Physics 101 5 April 2005 Physics in Sports When many people think of sports‚ the topic of physics doesn ’t always come to mind. They usually don ’t think about connecting athletics with academics. In reality math‚ science‚ and especially physics‚ tie into every aspect of sports. Sports are a commonality that brings nations together‚ Soccer‚ known as football to most of the world‚ is said to an unspoken language‚ which unties people from different lands

The Physics of Badminton Gerard Ramos Physics 4A Prof. Scott Hildreth I would like to start off with a light introduction to the sport of Badminton. Badminton is a sport that isn’t too popular in the United States; some people would even say that it shouldn’t even be called a “sport”. The majority see badminton from a “back-yard sport” point of view‚ part of this is due to the lack of actual badminton court facilities in America‚ also because it’s a bit expensive to play. Badminton is not

I absolutely love jumping on the trampoline but I never really thought there was any physics involved. I knew you had to use a force to jump up and gravity pulls you back down obviously. An American inventor named George Nissen first invented the trampoline in 1935. (Silvia) A trampoline is defined as an elastic disc of hard canvas held up by metal springs attached to a metal skeletal frame. Kinetic and Potential energy allow you to be able to jump on a trampoline. PE=mgh this equation helps you
