    As mentioned before, pitching requires several joints and muscles. Shoulder and elbow are two of the joints that are involved in the movement. Of the six phases of pitching, arm cocking, acceleration and deceleration are the three phases when elbow and shoulder joints experience high magnitudes of forces (Oyama 83). Windup is the phase that occurs when the pitcher places the non-throwing hand is in front of the target. In the beginning of the arm cocking phase, the non-throwing shoulder is…

    concepts of physics, such as Gravity, Newton Laws of Motion, momentum, torque, potential and kinetic energy, velocity, force, gravitational acceleration, free fall. I will explain the definitions of each concept, so readers will be able to get real meaning as to why these concepts consist of cheer leading. Gravity is the force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass. For most purposes Newton's laws of gravity apply, with minor…

    the motion of the picket fence. The upward-curved shape of the position-time graph suggests that the picket fence has a changing velocity. This curve signifies the object moving from slow to fast since the slope changes from small to big. On the other hand, the velocity-time graphs appeared linear and with a constant slope, so the “linear fit” function on Logger Pro was selected to fit a straight line to the data. Its shape was an increasing straight line, which signifies accelerated motion…

    has a lot to do with science. From Newton’s laws of motion to the momentum of the person kicking the ball, the drag force and the magnus effect, and even the air pressure in the ball. It is harder than most people think. Next time you watch a soccer game, or play a soccer game, think about the science in the game. First, Newton’s Law’s are present when the ball is kicked. His first law, an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced…

    Other scientists before him had ideas put on the table about motion and so forth, but it was Newton who made the connections. Newton’s young life was a struggle for him and he wasn’t always treated in the best way. But he made the best of his life and made himself into an important figure who changed how we view the world and science. “If there is no struggle, there is no progress” -Frederick Douglas Newton developed three laws of motion, he wrote a book explaining his scientific ideas and…

    scientific research for rocketry. Newton represented his idea of motion into three different laws. These explained how rockets work and why they work in space or any other sort of mediums. The first movement law is an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by another force. The second law states, acceleration of an object is exerted by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force. And the third law states, for every action there is an equal or unbalanced…

    Want that perfect “Kobe” jump shot? All the great shooters around the world have extremely good form. To have good form, you need a technique or steps to follow in order to keep your jump shot consistent. The perfect jump shot requires bending of the knees, flicking of the wrist, and following through. The first step, bending of the knees, is very important and results in how the ball approaches the rim. When bending the knees within a shot, the shooter creates a stability stance for the ball to…

    impact. In order to do this, Newton’s first law had to be taken into consideration, objects at rest, stay at rest; object in motion, stay in motion… unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Because the egg would have kept going until acted on by an unbalanced force, we suspended it with rubber bands so that the unbalanced force to stop it would not be the ground but it would be the pressure applied by the rubber band. This also Apply to Newton's third law which states that every action has an…

    Proportionality and Newton’s Second Law of Motion Abstract How does increasing the mass of an object affect its acceleration? Is acceleration dependent of the mass of an object? How do they relate? Defining and testing Newton’s second law of motion familiarizes us with this relationship. In this experiment, we use the mass of an object as an independent variable to come to a conclusion about force and acceleration. By increasing the mass of an object at an incline, one can observe the change in…
