Times Square Ball

Trash-can Ball, you were not supposed to step in a certain square, and an anonymous witness says they saw a player stepping in about two or three times. Every time, the witness would tell the player they cannot step in, and all the opposing player would do is look at them and smile. In Trash-can Ball, we all wore belts with strips of yellow-- or red-- coming from them, also called a “flag”. If a player had the ball, an opposing player would be able to pull their “flag”, and get the ball. Other witnesses

at an eastern liberal arts college in the SAT mathematics examination have been declining at a constant rate in recent years. In 2000, the average SAT score was 605. The score is decreasing at a rate of 6 points per year. Form a linear function of time for the average SAT score. Let

censor light play tricks with the shadows as my dad passes me the ball. “One more,” he says flatly, just as he always does, as the ball bounces into my hands. During my last game I missed a foul shot, and this is my punishment: one hundred foul shots every night until it doesn’t happen again, then we can go back to our usual fifty. Ninety-nine shots have come and gone, and my patience and focus have been worn thin. I look at the orange ball in my hands, covered in salt and melted snow, then to my dad

A Description of Basketball During the December lull between seasons of football and baseball, James Naismith, a teacher at the International Young Men’s Christian Association in Springfield Massachusetts, was presented with the task of maintaining the physicality of forty plus students (Cantwell, 2004, 1075). During the 1890’s there was no official sport or popular indoor activity that could help maintain the stamina, health and condition of football, baseball, and track athletes during his or her

When a ball bounces, the kinetic energy is transformed into elastic potential energy. However, the transfer of energy is not exactly perfect, as some energy is lost through heat and sound. The coefficient of restitution is a formula that takes the square root of the ratio of bounce height to drop height. The result ranges from 0 to 1, where 1 equals a perfect elastic collision. In this experiment, the effect of temperature on a squash ball was investigated. Various types of squash balls were subject

front of our house every other saturday. One time I wasn’t paying attention to when my father passed me the ball and it hit me in the head and I fell over. We would always play the same game over and over and I would always lose over and over. Usually, my father would win but occasionally my brother won. I wanted my chance to win and to prove myself. However, I didn’t want my father to try and make it easier for me to win. I wanted to beat him fair and square. I decided I was going to keep practicing

for me is a big deal. The main reason that I hit the Ping much father is because of the crown(top of the club head) turbulators in the help generate greater clubhead speed and ball velocity for consistently longer drives. The club face material is strong, lightweight and thin, optimizing face deflection for even higher ball speeds and longer drives. All of these factors help me hit the Ping farther than I hit the Titleist.

all my teammates, feel the enormous pressure of this game. If we loose, Burkes wins for what seems like the millionth time in a row. If we win, we have a shot at the championship and maybe even the league. My coach looks at me and tells me to go up to the line. I walk, as if in a trance, to the hash mark where I would take the fateful kick in less than a minute. I stare at the ball in front of me, paralyzed with fear. I am the last kicker and the fate of this shot is the fate of

relationship between air pressure and the bounce height of the ball, and what material (material of a basketball, volleyball and soccer ball) is best suited for a ball in order for it to achieve its greatest bounce height. 1.2 Research Questions 1. How does the air pressure inside a ball influence the bounce height/vertical motion of that ball? 2. How does the material of a ball affect the bounce height/vertical motion of that ball? 1.3 Theory 1.31 Air Pressure Air pressure can be defined as the

Standing in the middle of the lit up gymnasium was like being in the middle of Times Square to me little six year old Sophia. The older girls leaped off the ground and spiked the ball over the net, but the ball came right back after the other team fired it back. All I heard was’ mine’ or ‘ I got it’. The squeaking of the sneakers showed how deep in thought and how determined they were to keep the ball a float. I said to myself “ I wish I could be as good as they were one day”. There were vendors
