Introduction to Science of
Basketball
 I choose basketball
has my sport
because that’s my
favorite sport and
it’s a fun topic to
write about.
Potential Energy
 Potential energy is
when u have the
potential to move
but u don’t move.
For example
somebody slam
dunk and the person
is shocked at what
happen so he stand
still.
Kinetic Energy
 Kinetic energy is
when is energy in
motion. For
example a
basketball player
moving up and down
the court.
Digestive System
 Its digest the food u
eat and make u
more stronger. For
example NBA
players eat and
work out so they get
stronger at
attacking the rim
Respiratory System
 The respiratory
system use energy
to clean air and
remove carbon
dioxide. It helps
NBA players to
breath without
having them cough
a lot
Circulatory System
 Circulatory system
has energy to pump
blood through the
body. It help
athletes by having
strong hearts makes
them work harder
and harder.
Excretory System
 The Excretory
system makes u hot
then the sweat
makes u cool down.
It help people by
while they running
up and down the
court, the sweat
comes down and it
cool’s them off.
Muscular System
 Muscular system use
energy to make
players move with
strength. For
example NBA
players running to
the hoop with
strength and
dunking the ball
Electric Energy
 Electric energy is when
particles go around
that makes electricity.
 Two ways it has
effected basketball is if
its no electronics you
cant want basketball
on TV. Also and at night
when is no light u cant
play basketball cause u
cant see
Energy Transformation
Energy Transformation
is when u change a
chemical energy to
a mechanical
energy. For example
people run and
make people hotter.
Conserving Energy
 Conserving energy
can help athletes
because saving
energy can help you
play better and not
having u getting too
tired.
Newton’s 1st Law of Motion
 Newton 1st law of
motion is an object
that stays still
unless a force
moves it affects
basketball because
a ball is not gonna
move until u dribble
the ball
Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion
Newton 2nd law of
motion is when more
force on the object,
the more acceleration
in the object’s motion.
I think more force
accelerate the object
and people more
Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion
 Newton’s 3rd law of
motion is when every
action and equal and
opposite of every other
action It affects
basketball because the
more force u bounce
the basketball The
higher the ball goes
Machines
 Treadmill and weight
lifting machine. A
treadmill helps other
athletes lose weight
and it helps the speed
and agility. Weight
lifting helps get big
with muscles and make
u strong.
Conclusion
 Science is related to
basketball do to
people sweating
also losing energy
when u run.
