My Scientific Summer!

Near the end of summer i when to basket ball camp, i know it sounds like it has little involved with science but it has a lot more. There we stayed ten days just training basketball.The first scientific thing is the how you shoot. The proper shot requires the shooter to but a back spin to the ball. The reason behind that is when the ball hits the board with the back spin it changes velocity towards the net making more likely to go in. The second thing is bouncing the ball, when it hits the ground the partials will go toghter and for a split second the ball will be deformed. If the ball if underinflated the particles have more space so it wont bounce. The third thing is change of direction for it to be quick and not slip the friction between the ground and the basketballs players shoes. Hope you enjoyed my blog post!
