The Physics of Sports
Welcome to the Physics of Sports where we will be teaching the physics of some of the most popular sports. Some experiments included are how momentum affects tackling, how a soccer ball curves and why a perfect spiral of a is impossible to throw. Fasten your seats belts and enjoy the ride.
Bill Nye explains the importance of momentum using a ping pong ball and a bowling ball to show how a bigger object moving at a higher velocity creates more momentum and a better result in bowling. Momentum of an object is defined as the product of the object's mass and its velocity.The equation for momentum: momentum (p), mass (m), velocity (v) p=m * v
