The Science Of Basketball

Introduction to Science of basketball

I chose to my project on basketball is because I like seeing people play basketball and maybe one day if I practice basketball and be good maybe I can be a basketball player when I grow up

Potential Energy

Potential energy is when u stay still for example bench warmers in basketball. QuickTime™ and aTIFF (Uncompressed) decompressorare needed to see this picture.

Kinetic Energy Kinetic energy is

when move around for example when you shoot the ball QuickTime™ and aTIFF (Uncompressed) decompressorare needed to see this picture.

Digestive System The digestive

system is when the food digests to give our body energy. This is important so when you play basketball you wont throw up

Respiratory System

The respiratory system helps bring in healthy air and fights the carbon dioxide. In basketball this is important so some people wont have asthma attacks

Circulatory System The circulatory

system helps to pump blood throughout the body. In basketball blood needs to pump throughout the body. In basketball this is important so u can move around easily

Excretory System• The excretory

system releases energy to water. In basket ball the players use the excretory system that’s why they sweat

Muscular System

The muscular system uses energy to make our body move. Its important in basketball so that you can shoot from far distances

Electric Energy

• Electic energy is contunious flow of electric charge in closed circuits with good conductors, such as metals.

• Electric energy interfers with my sport because

First a basketball athelete must eat in order to have chemical energy. After the basketball player eats it turns into kinetic energy. After that it turns into heat energy

Energy Transformation

Conserving Energy• Conserving energy is

important because when you leave you house or if you are coming out of the bathroom you want to turn the lights off so you wont blow the fuse.

• Another way conserving energy is important because if you train all day with basketball you will get tired so you might want to take a rest

Newton’s 1st Law of Motion• Newtons 1st law of

motion is an object at rest will stay in motion unless acted upon an unbalanced.

• In ma sport newtons 1st law of motion is tooken place is when somebody’s foot is in the way and then they fall

Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion• Newton’s 2nd law of

motion is the more force. The faster(more acceleration) it goes

• Newton’s 2nd law takes place in my sport when somebody is running really fast down the court and then its harder for them to stop

• The basketball does make the player accelerate more because you might have to chase them down the court for the

• ball

Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion• Newtons 3rd law of

motion is for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

• This law takes place in my sport is the harder you put force into the

• Think- how does this law help us stand on ground?

Machines

• Describe 2 simple and complex machines that help your athletes. How do they work, use energy & force, and help your athletes?

Conclusion

• Summarize how science is related to your sport. Use energy, body systems, and force in your answer.
