The Science Of Basketball

Class: 805
Introduction to Science of
Basketball
 The reason I chose this
sport because it is a
fun sport and u can be
very energetic while
playing and it takes
strategy to play.
Potential Energy
 Potential energy is
energy that is stored in
an object. When u
drop a basketball the
ball will bounce and
that’s creating is
potential energy
Kinetic Energy
 The Kinetic Energy of
an object is the extra
energy which it
possesses due to its
motion. Throwing a
basketball is kinetic
energy.
Digestive System
 The Digestive tract is
the system of organs
that’s takes in food,
digests it to extract
energy and nutrients,
and expels the
remaining waste. It
help our athletes up
and going and it gives
u more energy.
Respiratory System
 The respiratory system
generally includes
tubes, such as the
bronchi, used to carry
air to the lungs, where
gas exchange takes
place. It helps our
movement from our
body to breathe out.
Circulatory System
 The circulatory system is
an organ system that
moves nutrients, gases,
and wastes to and from
cells, helps fight diseases
and helps stabilize body
temperature and pH to
maintain homeostasis. It
helps not get sick and
healthy.
Excretory System
 The Excretory System is
the system of excretion,
the bodily process of
discharging wastes. It is
responsible for the
elimination of wastes
produced by homeostasis.
It helps help body parts to
function right so our
basketball team mates
keep playing in the game.
Muscular System
The muscular
system is the
anatomical system
of a species that
allows it to move.
The muscular
system in
vertebrates is
controlled through
the nervous system.
It helps our
basketball athletes
move and run and
shoot around
during the game.
Electric Energy
 The electric energy is the
potential energy
associated with the
conservative Coulomb
forces between charged
particles contained within
a system, where the
reference potential energy
is usually chosen to be
zero for particles at
infinite separation. It
helps us play basket ball
and video games and work
out in electric machines.
Energy
Transformation
 The energy from the food
affect them so they could
be good and keep playing.
Chemical energy is the
greatest source of energy
used by man. From
flashlight batteries to
commercial airlines, it is
the energy released from
chemical reactions that
power our economy.
Conserving Energy
 Conserving Energy
can help basketball
players when they
have time out that is
conserving energy.
Newton’s 1st Law of Motion
 Newton’s 1st Law says that an
object in motion will want to stay
in motion and object at rest will
want to stay at rest unless acted
upon an outside force. Basketball
players and the ball are
constantly moving and they will
continue to move unless an
outside force stops it. For
example, one Basketball player
may run into another and
therefore stop. Also, the friction
that the grass makes is what
slows down the Basketball.
Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion
 Newton’s 2nd Law says
that the greater the force
acting on an object, the
greater the acceleration, or
change in the object’s
motion. Therefore, the
greater force behind a
player the faster he or she
will run. Also, the greater
force with the throw, the
faster the ball will go in
the basket..
Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion
 Newton’s 3rd Law says
that “For every action
there is an equal and
opposite reaction.” For
example, a basketball
player shooting the ball up
will make the ball come
down the same amount.
Also, the ground is
pushing up the same
amount the player is
pushing down allowing
athletes to stand on the
court.
Machines
 Describe 2 simple and
complex machines that
help your athletes.
How do they work,
use energy & force,
and help your athletes?
Conclusion
 Basket ball would not exist without
science. Our body needs energy to
play and move. The ball moves and
stops a certain way due to
Newton’s Laws of Motion. The
greater the force, the more the ball
will move. Electrical energy has
allowed us to watch basket ball on
television and play it on the
computer. Machines have helped
athletes continue to work-out. We
need to take care of our bodies and
our environment to make sure fun
sports can continue to be played!
