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? My favorite sport is paintball. It has been around since the 90's till now. what has changed are the paintball guns ,the bullets and almost everything else has been made better.


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? In my sport you run around alot and you work in teams. the guns shoot in staight lines but sometimes change directions and curve. The main part of the sport is to have bullets and teamwork.


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. The velocity and acceleration. you controll the way you run.


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? You run and shoot your paintball gun. You time yourself for how much the game lasts or one round.


5. Find at least one example of each of Newton's laws of motion in your sport. Describe each example as clearly as possible. the paintballs go forward and back and there is gravity and friction when you run.
