The Science Of
Basketball
By: Jacqueline Johnson
Class: 805
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.

TIFF ( Uncompressed) decompressor
are needed to see thi s pi ctur e.
Kinetic Energy
 Kinetic energy is
when move around
for example when
you shoot the ball

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
Energy Transformation
a basketball
• First
.
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

T IFF (Uncom pressed) decom pressor
are needed to see t his pict ure.
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
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.
