PROJECT TITLE:
To determine the ideal angle at which Penelope, a national volleyball player, needs to serve the ball in order to obtain the distance that it needs to go over the net but stay in the court y applying the theory of projectile motion.

AIM:
To determine the ideal angle and distance needed for a volleyball ball to be served over the net within the dimension of the court using projectile motion.

PROBLEM STATEMENT:
Penelope is a national volleyball player and she wants to know the angle at which she needs to serve the volleyball in order to get the ball over the net but also in the court every time she serves. In order to do so, she sets up a projectile launcher and she shot a ball (projectile) at different angles and found the angle at which the ball went a midway distance. From this data, she also found the projectile’s distance for the ideal launching angle.

INFORMATION ABOUT VOLLEYBALL
The overall measurement for a volleyball court is 60 feet by 30 feet. Each side of the court is therefore 30 feet by 30 feet in size. A center line is marked at

Each side of the court is therefore 30 feet by 30 feet in size. A center line is marked at the center of the court dividing it equally into 30 feet squares. The net is hung directly above the center line at 7 feet 4 inches for women and 8 feet for men. In this case it’s for women.

    It can give us the projectile’s (ball’s) maximum height value in this equation before it begins to descend. This is simply done by finding the value of h for the x-coordinate of the parabola, and then substituting that value into the equation and solving for k, whereas h is equal to –b/2a in the standard ax^2+bx+c quadratic equation. Therefore, in our case, -64/2(-16)=2 is equal to the x-coordinate of the parabola’s maximum value or vertex. Substituting 2 into -16t^2+64t+100 will give us -16(2)^2+64(2)+100=164, which is the vertex’s y-coordinate. Combining them gives the maximum value of the ball’s flight; the height at 164 feet and the time at 2 seconds, which combine at the vertex point (2,164) on the Cartesian…

    A parabola can easily be viewed as an elegant arched trajectory naturally formed by any projectile, from an artillery round to a tomato, moving in a gravitational field. Parabolas have been extensively studied since people started throwing stuff at each other, and they shape the outcome of many ballistic sports, such as baseball, golf, football, shot put and more. But they reach their apex in basketball, where field goals and free throws demand precision control of parabolas. So in tribute to the ongoing NCAA Basketball championships, I present to you, “the March Madness Parabola”.…

    In this paper I will describe the head to toe mechanics of what a normal, athletic volleyball block consists of. This movement may seem simple when watching a player perform it on the court; however it is a very complex muscular movement. There will be three phases I will explain in this movement. First the athletic position or “start phase”, next the jumping motion or “active phase” and finally will be the landing known as the “ending phase”. I will be describing every motion, as well as what plane the muscles are moving in and whether the movement is isometric, concentric or eccentric.…

    Imagine you are in a dark, deserted, brick alleyway. A night owl hoots in the distance. Your phone just died and you are ten miles away from home. You are bored out of your mind because you cannot think of anything to do. Zing! A motorcycle coughing black smoke streaks by, but does not notice you. No one is walking by because the dingy, damp alleyway you are stranded in is not a place anyone wants to be. It is so quiet you could hear a pin drop. If you have a ball, you could play volleyball with the wall, but only if you know how. In this situation, you would wish with all your heart that you knew how to play volleyball. You can learn how by using my challenging, but accurate process to bump, underhand serve, and…

    Abstract The research question of this Mathematics Extended Essay is, “on a circular table there are two balls; at what point along the circumference must one be aimed at in order for it to strike the other after rebounding off the edge”. In investigating this question, I first used my own initial approach (which involved measuring various chord lengths), followed by looking at a number of special cases scenarios (for example when both balls are on the diameter, or equidistant from the center) and finally forming a general solution based on coordinate geometry and trigonometric principles. The investigation included using an idea provided by Heinrich Dorrie and with the use of diagrams and a lengthy mathematical analysis with a large emphasis on trigonometric identities, a solution was found. The conclusion reached is, “if we are given the coordinate plane positions of billiard ball A with coordinates (xA, yA) and billiard ball B with coordinates (xB, yB), and also the radius of the circle, the solution points are at any of the points of intersection of the circular table with the hyperbola, x 2 @ y 2 P + r 2 ` yp @ xm a + xy2M ”, where P…
