What does physics have to do with volleyball??

Question

like volleyball=inertia how?

-friction

-gravity

-mass

-acceleration

-newtons 3 laws of physics

-drag ( friction with air or water)

if you could help me with ALL of these that would be fantastic...

but if not could you at least answer one?

Answer 1

physics has to do with volleyball with the way you move and and how you hit the ball

Answer 2

when the volleyball is hit, it has a tendency to continue going in the same direction that it was hit until gravity begins to act on it and bring it back down towards the court. it accelerates as it is falling at a rate of 9.8 m/s [the standard rate of gravity]. If the ball is light, air will be more likely to create a drag effect and send the ball the wrong direction [like beach volleyball with wind].

first law: inertia. the ball will continue in the direction that it is hit until gravity takes effect.

second law: force = mass x acceleration. the heavier the ball, the quicker it will accelerate, and the more force will be required to hit it.

third law: equal and opposite reactions. the players arms and body are braced so that they do not absorb so much of the shock from hitting the ball in order to launch it with more force.

Answer 3

gravity, on the ball

friction, shoes on floor

friction, ball with air

mass, the bigger the mass of the person the harder they can hit the ball

acceleration, redirect the force of a spike back the other way

theres alot really

Answer 4

haha i don't look at it like that

i just play the dang game because i am obsessed with it!!

Answer 5

I'm not sure, but here's a nice pic:

Answer 6

friction- when the ball hits the hands

gravity- as the ball goes up and down

mass- compared to the human the ball moves not the human when they hit

acceleration- the ball going faster and slower, spiking the ball with quick acceleration

drag- slows the ball in air

3 laws

1. an object in motion stays in motion- the ball moves untill it hits another person or the ground otherwise it doesn't slow down except for drag

2. equal and opposite reaction- the ball hits the hand and bounces off more or less with equal force, though some is absorbed

3. what's the 3rd law? gravity? ball goes up, ball come down
