This past weekend I was throwing with my dad when I realized, "Hey throwing a baseball is realted to what we have been studying in Physics. As I began to ponder this thought, I realized tha baseball, in itself, is a game of Physics. Everything you do, whether it be hitting, fielding, running, or throwing, involves some concpet relating to physics. When you throw a ball, it is accelerating as it travels from point a to point b; my hand to my partners glove. An average major league pitcher throws the ball at a velocity of 90 mph. Some pitchers can throw in the upper 90s to lower 100s! At this speed, a hitter has less than half a second to react to the pitch once it is released from the pitcher's hand. Baseball is a fun sport that deeply involves concepts of physics.
Great job, nice to see another entry on baseball. I like your picture and the info you've given.
ReplyDeleteI like that this is another baseball physics blog. Good use of info, nice picture
ReplyDeleteI like how almost every sport is somehow based on simple physics. You included good info
ReplyDeleteI appreciate how in depth you go in this description of the game you love. I also really like the thought that baseball and al other sports really are just games of physics.
