A Experiment On Playing Basketball

Three full-size basketball courts and volleyball courts will highlight the main floor of The Premiere Courts. Along with these two sports, the floors will be able to accommodate badminton, indoor soccer, indoor field hockey, touch football, gymnastics, dance, aerobics, and more. These hardwood courts will be manufactured and installed by the industry leader, Robbins Sport Surfaces, and will be the premier sports floors in all of Henderson. With the added attraction of world class portable basketball systems from Schelde North America or BPI, The Premiere Courts will quickly become known as the place to be for leagues, camps, or pick-up games.

We can all agree that basketball is almost becoming popular around the world. So many people play this sport but do people know how basketball started and how it evolute throughout the years since basketball was borned? So like every other sports and creations, there has to be a inventor and in basketball there was a man by the name of Dr. James Naismith. “Created in 1891 in a Springfield, Massachusetts YMCA gymnasium has grown into a game played worldwide by more than 300 million people”(historybits.com). So this game has been out for a very long period of time with many changing of the rules in basketball throughout the history. When it was first played in the late 1800s, there were different rules and even different looking basketball. As for the rules, originally there would be 10 people on the court but it first started with 18 people on the court which after couple of years it changed to only 10 people. Substitution was also different and the rule for this was at first no one can enter until the next game. “The rule was changed in 1920 to allow a player to re-enter the game one time. In 1934, the rule was expanded to allow players to re-enter the game twice, and, in 1945 the rule was finally changed to permit players to return to the game an unlimited number of times”(hooptactics.com). The first basketball looked very alike a football but round. The backboards were made out of straight wood and the baskets were made out of peach baskets or square boxes. There was only

This experiment transpired because of a fascination with basketball. In inches, the tested variable was the basketball court surface that gave the basketball the most immense bounce. After testing each surface, the data got averaged out, and based on the statistics, the multi-purpose floor averaged .7 inches more colossal than the hardwood, and 3.7 more than concrete.

b. Length and width of the playing area including the free zone and warm up area

At Pigeon Key, we played a lot of basketball. On the court located right outside our dorm, you could make many trick shots. You could shoot from behind the basket, bounce it against the wall, and hit it off the bridge. Not many courts are under a bridge. The bridge was blue and brown, and you

I sit down on the cool hardwood floor. As I lace up my basketball shoes, I notice the details of the floor. Small stones and dirt have been driven into the wood panels. Scuff marks were left from shoes in black, red, and white. A few dents and engravings are displayed proudly, like an old soldier showing off his battle scars. The paint on the floor is fading, its shiny luster long gone. Details like these are not noticeable during a practice or gym class. These small details have slowly emerged after many summer mornings and Sunday afternoons of dedicated practice.

Hypothesis: The basketball will bounce the highest as it has thicker layers, a strong grip and is used for bouncing. A netball has thinner layers and can only be bounced

Purpose: to inform the audience about basketball such as the basketball rules and history and development of basketball.

I’m not going to bore you with facts you probably won’t recollect and I’m not going to act as if I am supercilious to this issue, but I am one for a change. Everything is going to change eventually, the court outside of the Newhalen School needs to change. The court is getting superannuated and precarious, the basketball rim and backboard is getting rusty and worn down by the years of snow, wind, and rain. We need a safe environment for our future generation. This court right now is intact, but imagine it years from now. It would collapse. The rim looks like it’s about to break off every time I go to shoot around there, and people should fear of that happening. If the rim did fall it would induce serious damage to the victim of that happening. The court currently is disintegrating and the nails that are holding the boards together are

Because it was so hard to get the ball through the hoops, there were other objects as well. Players could hit one of the six markers along the sides of the court. Or, they would be given points for other skillful plays. Fouls were also given if the players couldn't get the ball across the center line, or if they touched the ball with the wrong part of the body, such as the hand or calf

The ball court was leveled out and had rock walls holding back dirt. The walls were also built from red flat-like rocks and mortar, similar to the other surrounding buildings. There is also a natural blow hole of to the north east of the structure. This blow hole was is from underground tunnels created when the volcano exploded. Today you can still be privileged to this magnificent event. The blow whole either blows or sucks depending on the pressure within the underground

We have investigated the slam dunk from its humble origins predating even the Big Bang to its present-day status as one of sports' most exciting feats. Every iota of knowledge on the subject of dunking has been presented. There truly is no more to say about dunks as we know them or as they were known to inhabitants of previous eras. Thus, dear reader, we must look beyond the present time, into the uncertain haze of the future, to hypothesize on what dunks will look like ten, twenty, a hundred, a thousand years from now.

Basketball is a very high paced and a physical game. It is a sport where if a player makes a mistake it could be very costly or not a lot. There are a lot of different surfaces that could possibly affect the bounce of a basketball. (Ohman, Kyle) If basketball is played inside a gym the surface is most likely a hardwood floor. (Ohman, Kyle) Hardwood floors after time they age and get something called wet spots, and if you bounce the ball on that spot the bounce of the ball will die. There are hardwood, concrete, asphalt, concrete, multi purpose flooring, and sports tiles , but it is hard to know which is the best for playing a game of basketball. This experiment will prove which surface produces the highest bounce.

The more and more I look around I begin to see how physics are integrated into practically everything that we do. These things would surely go unnoticed without making a conscious effort to notice them. For example simple things like riding a bike, or driving a car, or playing catch with a son or daughter. Just as these activities are loaded with elements of physics, sports are also, especially basketball. Physics play a part in every aspect of the game, from dribbling, passing, and shooting, to things as simple as setting a screen. First we should take a look at the elements of dribbling.

There are many aspects to the game of basketball and physics can be applied to all of them. Although to be good at basketball it is not necessary to play it from a physics point of view. Basketball players become good by developing muscle memory for the actions that must be performed in the game of basketball from years of practice. Nevertheless knowing some of the physics in the game of basketball can help a good player be a better player. In this paper I will cover the three most important aspects of the game, shooting, dribbling and passing.
