Question

How is volleyball related to science?

Answer 1

Who nos?! WHo cares VOlleyball is just a fun sport!

Answer 2

it is not.

Answer 3

wat the heck

Answer 4

c'mon its a sport (fun!) not school

Answer 5

well yea umm newton um and some other ppl that they don't recognize lol but yea sure id say so

Answer 6

newton's law of motion

Answer 7

to me its not related

Answer 8

Newton's laws of motion, as one example, explain both the gravity of ball and players and the action-reaction physics each time a player moves or the ball is struck.

Answer 9

its not

Answer 10

Volleyball is an Olympic sport in which two teams, separated by a high net, hit a ball back and forth over the net between the teams. Each team is allowed three hits to get the ball over the net to the other team. A point is scored if the ball hits the ground in the opponents' court, if the opponents commit a fault, or if they fail to return the ball properly.



Volleyball gameVolleyball can be a very active sport that can provide an excellent level of aerobic exercise. It also helps players improve their hand-eye coordination and the ability to override the instinctive desire to dodge a fast-moving object such as a ball.

Answer 11

Physics most definately.

Answer 12

In a million ways but some of the basics are below:

Gravity, you can use the ball and explain how gravitational pull makes tha ball move in different directions.

You can use the body and explain what happens when the ball is contacted at different speeds. And locations.

Action = reaction

You can use the arm and explain how the arm is used like a catapult to launch the ball. Longer the lever = greater distance.  

To conclude, science is all over volleyball. I assume this is a question your sceince teacher asked for you to answer. It would make a great project for your end of year science experiment..

Answer 13

Volleyball can be related to several sciencies:

Physics - as many of the other answers talk about Newton's laws of motion and gravity.  Don't forget stuff like impact with the ball, flight dynamics, ball pressure (boyles law)

Mathematics - Volleyball, like many other sports, is surrounded by rules of geometry.  The playing field is a finite area, bounded by vertical planes.  How a player plays the ball will be determined by their particular skill, height, approach and respective defensive postures on the other team.

Sociology - Group dynamics.  How does the team work together to achieve their goal?

Psychology - Personal dynamics.  How to players react to adversity?  How do they respond when things go well?  How does their attitude affect their play/others play?
