The Physics of Basketball Brittney LeBlanc Physics 122 Physics comes into play throughout our lives‚ in absolutely everything we do‚ especially in sports such as basketball. Although you do not need to be a physician to become a basketball player‚ if you understand the basic physics of basketball‚ it can be very beneficial to your game. Specifically‚ understanding the physics behind shooting‚ passing‚ and dribbling the basketball. A Canadian named‚ Dr. James Naismith‚ was instructed to create an

Physics of a Guitar (Rough Draft) The guitar is the most played instrument in the music world. The oldest surviving guitar is thought to be made around 1776 in Italy by Gaetano Vinaccia. Though‚ the guitar looks like a simple instrument to construct or play there is a lot of physics behind the creation of it‚ from the strings to the air inside‚ the anatomy‚ and the sound spectrum. There are three types of guitars that are made: nylon acoustic‚ steel-string‚ and electric. Acoustic guitars produce

3. Recent technological developments have allowed greater use of the electromagnetic spectrum 1. describe electromagnetic waves in terms of their speed in space and their lack of requirement of a medium for propagation In space (a vacuum) electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light‚ a constant equal to 3.00108ms1. Unlike sound waves‚ electromagnetic waves do not vibrate particles‚ therefore they do not need a medium (substance) to propagate (move). 2. identify the electromagnetic wavebands

Minela Sljoka Notes on Physics Inertia- tendency of an object to maintain motion. Property of matter. Not newton’s first law. Matter wants to maintain motion- moving objects want to stay in motion if stopped wants to stay stopped. Mass is measure of inertia. Things have mass because they have inertia. Units: kg Symbol m in equation. Inertia is most constantly called rest mass but we call it mass because we are dealing with speeds not going to speed of light. Kinetic Energy- v^2 is proportional

.Physics is the field of scince that controls the Earth‚ the Moon‚ the Sun and the Universe It is the science of matter and its motion‚ space-time and energy. Physics describes many forms of energy - such as kinetic energy‚ electrical energy‚ and mass; and the way energy can change from one form to another. Everything surrounding to us is made of matter and Physics explains matter as combinations of fundamental particles which are interacting through fundamental forces. It will not be an exaggeration

Paper 1 – 1. (a) What evidence is there in Source D to suggest that Stalin’s motive for the mass arrests of the late 1930s was to obtain slave labour? (3 marks) Evidence in Source D that suggests that Stalin’s motive for the mass arrests of the late 1930s was to gain slave labor is that “the mass arrest of the late 1930s may have been carried out to satisfy Stalin’s desire for slave labor‚” and “more prison laborers were urgently needed.” (Quotes from the extract) (b) What

Yoyo is a toy that everyone has played at some point in their lives. Yoyo is more than twenty five thousand years old. It is the second oldest toy‚ after dolls. The yoyo was first documented to be invented in Greece with wood‚ metal and terra cotta.2 .The disks were decorated with the pictures of their gods. The yoyo moved to the Orient around 1800. The yoyo was used as a weapon in Philippines. Their version was large with sharp edges and spikes attached to a twenty foot long rope for flinging at
