Personal Narrative: My Experience With Newton's Golf

Improved Essays
I had an experience with the opposite reaction today. I was eating with my parents in the living room. They wanted to watch the football game that was on, so we ate on trays. When I was getting up, my knee bumped into the tray. It wasn't enough to knock it over, but when it wobbled back in place, the plate and cup on it kept sliding. The cup was empty, so I reacted quickly enough to keep the plate on the tray, though I had to put my hand down in it to do so. Hand was messy, but kept it off the floor, haha. Another thing is that my dad has been having to work over for 12 hours just about every day, just because someone he worked with got in a wreck, and wasn't wearing his seat belt. That would be an unfortunate demonstration of Newton's …show more content…
I don't have the sort of patience for that. To each their own. I do understand how the weather would effect the ball. And even the way the joints move together, sort of like when throwing a punch, the way you turn the body effects the power and speed of the punch. This can be attributed to most sports, since they require certain actions that dictate the power behind the force. An example in the text book, other than Golf, is throwing a javelin. Because of air resistance, throwing it requires less than an angle of 45 degrees. This is said to achieve maximum distance. Speaking of degrees, it's important to have a standardized unit of measure. Everything can be kept neat and tidy, and there wouldn't be dozens of different measurements, which would make a consensus harder to come to. This would lower the opportunities for the advancement, and would make conversions tedious and …show more content…
If his laws weren’t valid, then it would probably be impossible execute certain things which rely on muscle memory. n the main game I play, Quake, there’s a technique you can use to move faster, which is strafe jumping. If you keep jumping around, moving your mouse from side to side, you can gain speed. The optimal angle for it is about 45 degrees, and it relies heavily on muscle memory to be able to constantly do it. Even still, you can add a rocket into the mix to move even faster, which are generally even faster than the already snappy strafe jumping movement. Without friction, it would much easier to move your mouse around, but it would also be much harder to stop it. Mousepads aimed for gaming generally are smooth, but they still have some resistance to them, especially the more you use it. The feet on a mouse also make the difference as well. The feet I had on a couple of mice I’ve had fell off, which made it much harder to move the mouse around (fixed this with tape, though it needs to be replaced from time to time). The smoothness allows an ease of a movement, but the friction itself allows for

    The ability to move quickly and with ease is vital in a game like touch football where motion is rarely linear; agility will be through the Illinois agility test. Endurance is key to this sport as players require the ability to sustain continuous movements without tiring out this will be tested through the beep test results which were collected earlier this year. To make results easier to compare, the they will be converted into maximum oxygen(max vo2)measurements after they are obtained(not every beep test level had 10 shuttles so it is difficult to compare). The ability to speed up explosively is required for efficient defensive and offensive play; the will be used to measure this as its short distance depends on one’s ability to speed up rather than endurance(sample will be asked to self-report times). Coordination is necessary to efficiently pass the ball and control movements; will be measured by having participants throw and catch a ball as many times as they can in a…

    As I get off the bus, and stretch my legs after what seemed like a very long bus ride, I noticed a certain smell in the air. I have been here before, and each time the visits have been very uncomfortable. I love nothing more than to step on the ball field, and smell the fresh cut grass, and my kangaroo skin catchers glove. This ball field was different, for many different reasons. Playing baseball against Mountain Valley was always fun, because we always won.…

    This spring semester it has been difficult to get hours because of all the rain we have been getting. This was beneficial I feel like because you had to communicate with the Sports information people to know when you could work with the rain delays and what changes have been made. I was supposed to work baseball on April 7, but it was raining the morning of and the night before making the fields unplayable. I talked to Kendra and she told me to come back for the two o’clock Men’s Lacrosse game. I got there thirty minutes early as usual.…

    THE EIGHT FOOT CIRCLE “Stand up for what you believe in even if that means standing alone”. When I was younger and got my first opportunity to stand up for myself without anyone pushing me to succeed things didn't go as planned. Although I didn't succeeded I took a lesson from it in the end. “Play ball” the umpire called out as we jogged on to the field. Like every game before I headed for third base.…

After what felt like forever, but in reality was only minutes a friend of mine and returning player walked over to me.

    As an eighth grader on a sports team, I was one of the youngest players on the golf team and there were a lot of high hopes for me because I had been golfing ever since I was very young. The previous year, there were many seniors that graduated and I actually made the varsity team. There are a total of five players from each school that make it to the the State Tournament if they qualify as a team. All season, I was the number five golfer which meant that I could be replaced at any time if I started to struggle. Knowing this scared me a lot because I wanted to impress the older golfers and I didn't want to let them down.…
