Is basketball scientific?...?

Question

i have to do a thing on something scientific i did this summer.. i played a lot of bball is it scientific and how?

i thought of gravity??

Answer 1

ok the path that a ball travels when u shoot or pass is a parabola.

u have energy transfer==> sound and kinetic.

Answer 2

I feel it's scientific with all the stats, like football, baseball, and all other sports.  Or when you start comparing players.

Gravity is in everything you can't avoid that.  Think! even a leaf falls to the ground eventually.

So it doesn't matter how high Kobe jumps he has to come down.

Now this link is really scientific.  I even find it hard to understand.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Consider when you shoot a basket that does not touch the back board but swishes thru without touching the rim.  The trajectory is a hyperbola.    

           You could state the height of the basket, how far you are away from it and use mathamatics to calculate the equasion for your shot.  It will change as the distance from the basket to you changes.

           If you like physics, you could given the height of the basket and the distance from it - calculate the angle or force required to make the basket

      hope this helps

Answer 4

Well, if you think in terms of physics or human physiology, things can get pretty interesting, and you will be able to use your personal experience playing basketball to delve deeply into these physical sciences by finding a correlation between basketball and the physical and physiological aspects of the world that make it possible.
