Tennis Ball Investigation

Cabbage ball is not a sport that is widely known. In fact, it is mainly played in the Greater New Orleans area. It is played with a ball that is similar to a soft ball but has a greater diameter a bit heavier and a lot harder to hit. I learned that it is a very popular adult league game and is taken very seriously by many of the players. When I was asked to play cabbage ball by a co-worker, I asked friends about the sport and learned that many native New Orleaneans grew up playing this sport during their childhood and many had nostalgic memories of playing pick up games in their school yards.

2. Some of the outside variables that could have affected our outcomes for the experiment are the ambient temperature and how quickly the groups took the hot dogs out of the ice water to measure their temperatures. The ambient temperature was 28 degrees Celsius, the coldest temperatures of the hot dogs ranged from 35 to 37 degrees Celsius, so for the groups that measured their hot dogs’ temperature quicker, they gave their hot dogs a head start in the warming process. For groups that were not as quick with their measurements, their hot dogs starting warming up at a later time, so by the time the experiment was over, their temperatures would have been lower than the groups that measured quickly. We did not control these outside variables because we did not increase or decrease the room temperature by turning on the AC.

Aim: The aim of this experiment is to see which ball is better quality for bouncing and what is a lot more reasonable for price and size.

The group first measured the masses of the four bouncy balls and then measured how high the ball bounced, being dropped at 20 inches, in room temperature and recorded the data. Then heated up water in a 250mL beaker using a hot plate to about 85-90 degrees Celsius, put the bouncy ball in a smaller beaker and held it in the water for five minutes, making sure not to get the ball wet, repeat this procedure for all four bouncy balls. After the five minutes were up, the masses of the balls were measured and then tested the ball to see if when the ball was heated, it might affect the height of the bounce. The results were recorded. Next, a 250mL beaker was filled up with water about half way and then put ice in the water to make it cool down to 5-10 degrees Celsius. A bouncy ball was then put in a smaller beaker and held the small beaker with the ball inside the ice water for five minutes, doing this for all four bouncy balls. After the time was up, the group again measured the mass and tested the height of the bounce and recorded the results. When dropping the ball to measure the height of the bounce, the ball was dropped from 20 inches for each trial in all three

Both experiments preformed showed the same trend of increased temperature leading to and increased activity level, thus supporting our prediction. For instance, in experiment 1, T. molitor in the 25 C moved a mean distance of 14.41 cm over 1 minute while moving a mean distance of 4.05 cm over 1 minute in an average environmental temperature of 13.8 C. Likewise, in experiment 2, T. molitor in the 25 C environment moved a mean distance

The experiment had four different temperature 12 ̊, 51 ̊, 75 ̊, 111 ̊. In the experiment it was about how temperature effects the air pressure of a basketball. The one thing that would change the experiment is recording the bounce because participants had to get the bounce and the measurement. The highest bounce was the hot ball that was 111 ̊it bounce high. The lowest bounce was the frozen ball that was 12 ̊ because it barely bounced.

One of them would be how many times a bean jumped in a stable environment within the span of two minutes. The second would be to see how many times the bean would jump in a colder environment. We kept the jumping bean in a stable environment inside a petri dish for two mins and observed that it had jumped 3 times. We conducted this same experiment 5 times and saw similar results. We then put the petri dish inside a cup of ice which lowered the temperature drastically.

It will help you develop core strength and plyometric too. Make it a soft one, and work out speed and power. A plyo-box can also be a great addition to any serious body training regime. They’re great for squats, bench dips and other exercises as well as the jumping. As your weight load increases, add a bar bell. Free weights condition better then gym machines as well as cost less, as they require stabilisation and coordination too. They should be sturdy but inexpensive, and make sure the diameter of the bar is a good match for your hand and grip size. As your bodybuilding training progresses, you’ll need to add a broad variety of weight plates to the mix. Remember that this is the point you need to decide if you are going to attempt Olympic lifting, so that you don’t invest in a bunch of plates you later can’t use. Our last recommendation will likely shock you, but get yourself a good sound system. Music has been proven to help increase motivation and workout intensity, so you need good

This experiment involved the work of two people, with one person dropping the ball, while the other person recorded the experiment allowing for a display of data. Firstly, place one ball on the top pan balance to find the mass of the ball, repeating for each ball. This is to ensure that each ball has a different weight, without being too similar. Make sure to choose three completely different balls. For example, a golf ball, tennis ball and basketball.

The bowling balls are all connected to a piece of wood that is in the air and it is not bent in any way

The hypothesis is that two people of different sizes will have a different temperatures after preforming an activity, this was proven after collecting data from the experiment. The first thing that was noticed in this experiment was the difference in Darryl and Faith's thermal mass temperatures. When looking at the data chart Darryl’s core body temperature was a few degrees higher than Faith’s. The temperatures were taken by using a surface thermometer stick. After the exercises were completed it was shown that after one of the exercises Faith's thermal mass was higher than Darryl's. The exercises that Faith's thermal mass exceled in was when her and Darryl were running up and down the stairs. When running up and down the stairs at different

The game of circle ball consists of a lot of short explosive bursts of energy. For example, sprinting to defend or jumping up to catch the ball. It is a team game but I am going to look at how I can improve an individual’s performance as a defender. Within the game of circle ball there are many demanding factors an individual has to cope with, these being your psychological and physiological state, nutrition and biomechanics. I will produce a needs analysis by taking one major part of each factor so it is more in depth and I can get the best out of the performer in each area. I will also be including a range of academic literature and scientific evidence to back up my opinions and theories. The needs analysis will be in action after the first

Hypothesis: If I were to bounce a freshly opened tennis ball, then the ball will bounce higher than a ball that has been opened for a long time

Have you ever wondered what golf ball to use when you are stepping up to hit? If the conditions for a golf ball to travel are optimal, then how far will each ball travel? The ball will travel a certain distance based on the conditions. If the altitude is higher the ball will travel further. If the weather is not windy the ball will travel a much longer distance. Titleist makes the best golf balls because they are one of the fastest growing golf companies. You will see the distance of multiple golf balls in various conditions. This way other golfers would be able to score better every time they play. You will observe the mechanics of a golf ball, kinetic and potential energy, and altitude and wind.

Each team started by taking an infrared thermometer and recording 5 temperatures of two microhabitats relatively close to one another that may have different temperatures, such as wet sand and a plastic cover adjacent to one another. It was then hypothesized that the fake organism, the marshmallow peep, would experience more thermal stress and greater/faster thermal rise on the plastic than in the opposing microhabitat the wet sand. Two packages of peeps each containing five fake organisms were opened up and tiny I-buttons were embedded on the inside of each peep to measure body temperature over time while in the respective microhabitat. After twenty minutes of having five peeps with five I-buttons planted in each microhabitat, the I-buttons were removed and the teams returned to the lab to extract the data from the I-buttons. Using the I-button software, data from each I-button was downloaded and then exported to excel where statistical analysis and graph work could be completed to see how the results lined up with the stated hypothesis. Inside of the software, it was simple to “start view”, click on the “wizard” tab, click “next”, and press “finish” to start up the mission, and then plug the I-button into the socket, select the software, click on “mission status” and press the quick graph button to see the graph and export the data. The data addresses the hypothesis question because it will allow the team to view the temperature over time and thermal rise in the two opposing microhabitats and this will inform the group as to whether the hypothesis should be supported or refuted. The statistical analysis used on the data included an ANOVA (analysis of variance) consisting of SS, df, MS, F, p-level, and F crit as well as mean and
