Similarities Between Baseball And Aerodynamics

Science Fair Conclusion
Baseball vs. Aerodynamics Conclusion For Science Fair, Steven Bowman, my partner, and I decided to test which mass baseball would travel farther when launched from a pitching machine. We decided to use three different types of baseballs. We used an official baseball, a tee-ball (rubber ball), and a plastic, hollow ball (wiffle ball). Before we started the experimentation we researched all the theories that were involved in the experiment. Aerodynamics played a key role in the experiment because based on how the air traveled along the outside of the ball can cause it to many sorts of things while in the air. The seams were a main factor with the baseball because the seams can disrupt airflow

    Overview: In this lab, we will test balls made of various materials. The matter that composes the ball must store energy on impact and then release the energy in a way that allows elastic recoil, or bounce. In addition to elasticity, there is also a relationship between the height from which the ball is dropped and the height of the bounce. We will measure and graph the relationship of those two variables.…

    One question that I am very familiar with that I know can lead to continuous arguments is this: “Aren’t baseball and softball the same thing?”. Many people believe that they are pretty much the same thing. Other people think that they are very different, and many of those people think that one sport is better than the other. I am going to go into deeper detail about the two sports to see how alike and different they are.…

    A basketball is an air filled sphere with a leather skin. There are different companies that make basketballs like Russel & Baden. The different types of shapes affect the aerodynamics of a basketball. Although at first it may sound strange, the motion of a basketball when it leaves the hands of a player is governed by the same physical laws of an airplane. There are multiple ways to affect the aerodynamics of the ball like the flick of the wrist, force and the quickness of the release when you shoot. The texture of a basketball as well as the weight can play on the aerodynamics of the basketball and can affect the rotation speed.…

    Baseball is a sport that our nation has loved and enjoyed since the early nineteenth century. I have played baseball for as long as I can remember, and the game has become a passion of mine. As I am passionate about the sport, I have begun to wonder where the equipment we have today has come from. How did we get to pristine gloves and flawless bats? There a five main pieces of equipment used by a baseball player, and all of which today have been modified to perfection. The five pieces of equipment would be the glove, used to field the ball, a bat, used to hit the ball, catcher’s equipment, worn to protect the catcher, cleats, used to increase traction, and of course the baseball. The progression I have seen in my lifetime is unbelievable and I cannot imagine all of the progress that has been made since baseball originally came to America.…

    The air pressure within a football can make a considerable difference to the distance traveled and flight time of a ball. Air pressure is a vital aspect when considering distance traveled and flight time of a ball. If the force that is being applied to the ball remains constant, and the air pressure within the ball is the variable then we are able to draw a conclusion of how much difference the air pressure makes.…

    This quote relates bad hops in baseball to obstacles in my life and making great plays to overcoming those obstacles. This brings me to my laws of life which are how to deal with failure, and how to make the best of a bad situation put before you. I will be relating both of these laws to experiences I've had in baseball. I made the realization that failure is healthy and can only make me stronger. Before I made these realizations, whenever I would fail I would get down on myself and lose confidence. I’ve also had to make the best of an unfortunate situation that occurred during the baseball season. These are my laws of life.…
