CROQUET: The Physics of Hitting a Croquet Ball
6 May 2000
Croquet World Online Magazine
by John Riches
A croquet coach needs to know about everything affecting the outcome of the stroke. Investigating the physics of impact necessarily involves examining the literature of mainstream sports which have something in common with croquet: The point of interface between the player and the game is an implement striking a ball. It should come as no surprise that the golfing literature is fu ...

Diving Physics and "Fizzyology"
Introduction
Like all animals, human beings need oxygen in order to survive. When we breathe, we extract oxygen from the air, and use that oxygen for metabolism, which is how we convert the food we eat into useable energy to do the things that we do. One of the by-products of metabolism is carbon dioxide; whenever we exhale, we are getting rid of the carbon dioxide that our bodies produce. The main purpose of breathing, therefore, is to provide our bodies with ...

The Physics of Tennis
The Sweet Spot
A tennis racquet, like a baseball or cricket bat, has two sweet spots. If a ball impacts at either of these spots, the force transmitted to the hand is sufficiently small that the player is almost unaware that the impact has occurred. If the ball impacts at a point well away from the sweet spots, the impact can be quite painful. One of the sweet spots is the vibration node, located near the centre of the strings. The other sweet ...

Physics in sport: Forces on an athlete
A force can be defined as a push or a pull. When running or walking we use the energy in our leg muscles to push backwards on the ground with one foot while the other foot is moving forward. Forces always come in pairs called action-reaction pairs. So, when we push backwards on the ground, the ground also pushes forward ...

Playground Physics
by Dr. Mary Urquhart
Introduction
Playground Physics is designed as an introduction to some basic concepts in classical mechanics for upper elementary and middle school grades (4-7). The idea is to use the experience children have on the playground and relate that experience to basic physics concepts. For the younger children (grades 4 and 5) the experience is meant to be almost entirely conceptual, but for the older children, there should be a slightly more formal and mat ...

The Physics of Baseball
Batters know from experience that there is a sweet spot on the bat, about 17 cm from the end of the barrel, where the shock of the impact, felt by the hands, is reduced to such an extent that the batter is almost unaware of the collision. At other impact points, the impact is usually felt as a painful sting or jarring of the hands and forearm, particularly if the impact occurs at a point well removed from the sweet spot.
The sweet spot of a bat exists partly because b ...
