For reading this week, I have been looking at the science of basketball. We watched a couple videos and read some texts to gain a new understanding behind the science of basketball.
Three new terms I have learned are:
- If the air molecules/temperature in the ball warms up it will gather energy and bounce higher and if the air molecules are getting colder it will slow down and bounce less.
- Force matters because if you shoot to soft it the ball will fall on the ground without touching the rim and if you shoot it too hard it’s gonna go over the backboard.
- Velocity-speed is needed in basketball because if you pass the ball soft and if goes slow the opponent can steal it mid air.
