    The History Of Basketball

    Since its beginning over a century ago, basketball has evolved from a simple form of exercise with only a few rules to a highly competitive and complex national sport. Basketball was invented by James Naismith at a YMCA in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1891 (Fox 11-13). It began as an activity for the “‘ball-game’ void” months of winter (Hanson 65), and Naismith had five standards for the game. He wanted a ball that could be handled by a player’s hands; no one was to run with the ball, and anyone could grab the ball from another player as long as the ball was in play. There was to be no personal contact, and the goal was to be raised from the ground. He created the idea and standards for basketball by combining certain aspects of American…

    Eggpolo 6 Research Paper

    Our egg drop project that we named Eggpolo 6 was unsuccessful. During the drop, the two forces gravity and air resistance, or fluid friction, will act on the Mars lander. Gravity will be pulling the lander down towards the center of the Earth. But fluid friction will be pushing the Mars lander up in the air and slowing the lander down before it hits the ground. When it hit the ground the Eggpollo 6 gave the ground an action force. The ground gave a reaction force causing the Eggpollo 6 to bounce up after it hit the ground. Action forces and reaction forces are related because they are natural opposites and they don't cancel each other out because they are acting on different objects. During the drop, before it hit the ground, the potential…

    lacrosse

    On the second trial of my experiment I had made 50% of my shots on the net (or 6 of the 12 shots.) This day I did improve. I had realized that you have better accuracy if you have your top hand more towards the top of the shaft and my bottom hand at the bottom of the shaft. This may be just a coincidence, but according to my hypothesis I had stated that I felt like when your top hand is near the top, and when your bottom hand is at the bottom you have the most accuracy with your shot.…

    Worth A Shot Essay

    A bead of sweat rolls down my neck as I take a deep breath and position myself in front of the goal. I look from the soccer ball to the goal and back to the ball again, deciding if I should take the shot. In a split second, I must decide. Through hastened process analysis, I elect to drop the ball back to an awaiting teammate, a calculated risk, but – tragedy- the other team intercepts and takes possession of the ball, losing my team’s chance to score. During a lecture on not doubting myself and always shooting in the 18-yard box, I vividly remember my coach telling me, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” This fairly famous quote somehow hit home when directed at me from my coach. It has motivated me in not only sports,…

    Pop Culture Jumping Stilts

    Originally invented and patented by German engineer Alexander Boeck, Air-Trekkers are a spring-loaded stilt that you safely strap onto each leg. Once strapped on, you stand 18" taller, with three foot long carbon-fiber springs attached to your legs, ready to send you into the air. Alexander got the idea about the stilts while he was researching the movements of kangaroos in Australia. He wanted to harness the speed and power of the kangaroo so that any person could achieve super human abilities. He began to draw out plans and eventually he came to the design used today. He had submitted his patent in 1999; however, the manufacturers cannot deviate from the plan that was patented in Europe in 2002 and 2004 in the United States. Although the design has now been changed to lighten the stilts.…

    Boomerang Generation Research Paper

    The NY Times, in It’s Official: The Boomerang Kids Won’t Leave, explores the trend of increasing numbers of young people continuing to live with their parents after college. The article notes that one in five people in their 20s and early 30s currently live with parents, and 60 percent of all young adults receive financial support from parents. In the prior generation, only one in 10 young adults moved back home and few received financial support. The common explanation for the change is that young people had the misfortune of growing up during several unfortunate and overlapping economic trends. Today, almost 45 percent of 25-year-olds have outstanding loans, with an average…
