The purpose of this experiment is to figure out the best height at which you should throw the ball to get the perfect shot. This will make it harder for an opponent to block the ball. It was hypothesized that if the ball is thrown higher, the area at at which the ball enters the rim will increase. To prove this one laptop in its case, separately recorded. This camera was positioned parallel to the shooter. The data was analyzed the results showed that the higher the ball traveled when shot correctly traveled into the hoop without touching any part of the rim, but the ball was in the air longer than the others. The smaller the angle of the shot the smaller circumference of the rim as the ball travels into it. In conclusion, the higher the basketball went although did not have the fastest ball speed had the largest circumference when entering the …show more content…
When the data was collected, it showed that when the ball is hit near the bottom of the racquet the speed is greater. When the ball is hit on the “sweet spot”, the ball will go a further distance then when hit near the bottom, but will take a longer time to travel. The hypothesis made is not supported because the speed of the ball was faster when hit by the bottom of the racquet rather then hit by the “sweet spot”
According to sweetspottertennis.com, the “sweet spot” of the tennis racquet should be the area where the contact with the ball will make “for the best shot possible”. It is widely known in the tennis world that the best players are able to constantly hit the “sweet spot” when playing. This makes them the best at what they do and will enable a perfect hit every time. The data shown presents the idea that the “sweet spot” measured is not as effective than when the ball is hit near the bottom of the
