Anzueth

1. What sport did you choose? What is the history of your sport? When and by whom was it invented? How much has it changed since it was invented?
The Sport I chose is volleyball. Volley ball was invented by William Morgan in Holyoke, Massachusetts in 1895. It was first called mintonette then it was changed to volleyball.


2. Describe the objects in motion in your sport. Do people move around a lot? Do they move in
straight lines or do they change directions? Is a ball or other object the main part of the game or sport?
Well You are hitting, running , and jumping. Yes Players do move around alot because they can't let the ball fall. Well Yeah the ball is the main part of the game because if falls on the ground the other team will get a point and The players have to keep the ball in the air.

3. What two things must be measured to determine the average speed of an object? Design a way to measure the average speed of a moving person or object in this sport, such as the speed of a served tennis ball or the speed of a figure skater gliding across the ice. Describe how this speed is controlled by the athlete.
To determine the speed of the Volleyball This is the formula -.27 * (x ft. divided by y seconds) squared times the weight of the ball-

.
4. Review the definition of work (the scientific definition). Try to identify and describe at least two examples of an action in which work is done in your sport. Remember, the force and the distance moved must be in the same direction. What information would you need to calculate the amount of work done?
Work is used in volleyball when The ball is served or spiked. You would need to know how hard they spiked or served the ball also The direction of the force.


5. Find at least one example of each of Newton's laws of motion in your sport. Describe each example as clearly as possible.
