The Jabulani Grip’ n ‘Groove ball is an association football ball, which is a highly advertised product due to its significant technology base and elements included. Not only was the ball criticised by all matter yet still specified by the “Laws of a game” in its spherical shape, as well as its size, weight, and material composition in term of being Fifa approved. Throughout all Fifa tournaments the ball’s were made by Adidas due to the fact that they were able to produce such productive and effective balls. So far the Jabulani ball is considered to be the most advanced. By the reason of the balls specific well-produced design the ball is able to perform certain acts. The ball being perfectly round was/is able to create as expected an exact, stable flight through air in any condition. This is caused because all sides are even, and when the ball pressures through the air the air reacts with the same force allowing the ball to go forward exactly as hit. However if there would be a curve or uneven part on one side then the ball could have gone not at a precise angle hit and on one side of the ball because there would be more air’s force pressuring the ball resulting in it going in a imprecise direction. The dimples effect the coefficient of friction of how will the ball travel of the air however if there are more dimple on one side it may cause a difference in which direction the ball will go just like with a curve on a ball. Verifying that for now on, the technology of the Jabulani ball is the most advanced in the ball department. The Grip’ N ‘Groove ball has influenced many games. Because of the elements included in/on it the its result and how players work with it turned out different from the balls before. The ball received much criticism from its users. Complaints have come from goalkeepers, strikers and many others as i it seems too "supermarket" type as goalkeeper Júlio César complained. Players say that one cannot predict what the next action of the ball will be. This causes major issues in the ball future in weather it will be considered a well or not designed production. There are always diverse opinion on certain objects, and the Jabulani ball is an example of an object of which everyone seems to have a different view on.
The Physics of the Curve Ball Dad said that one of these days I would figure it out, but to this day I am still clueless. I have always been able to throw a decent curve ball; you don’t just throw 6 one hit games in your high school career without one. I have always wondered why and how the ball curves through the air, and it wasn’t until now that I have really had the chance to research a topic that has puzzled me for so long. I would bet that even pitchers in the “Big show” don’t know how or why, but they obviously have the talent and ability. I don’t know when the first curveball was thrown or who threw it, but there is a lot of controversy out there about whether or not the curveball really exists.
Because of this, my paper will look at the issue of headgear in contact sport and will particularly look at this issue at junior sports level. Wearing headgear has many positives, reducing injuries is the most obvious one and it could be argued that its help reduces the chance of injuries and even death. At an elite level, Chelsea goalkeeper, Petr Cech is convinced that wearing headgear saved him from suffering extended injuries after colliding with Fulham striker Orlando Sa back in September 2011. Headgear offers a form of padding when worn. It allows juniors and elite athlete’s the reduced chance of head wounds.
Wikipedia gives us following definition of a bowling ball: “A bowling ball is a piece of sporting equipment used to hit bowling pins in the sport of bowling. Ten-pin bowling balls are typically hard spheres with three holes drilled in them, one each for the ring and middle fingers, and one for the thumb.”
When looking at a collision between a baseball bat and ball, three things always apply:
Baseball is a fascinating sport that is exceptionally fun to play. This assignment is all about understanding the physics of a few key aspects of this sport. One might ask what physics could have to do with baseball? Like most sports baseball involves physical motion. Baseball encompasses all three planes of motion through throwing, hitting, and fielding. All of the classical laws of mechanics can be applied to understand the physics of this game.

First off, the knuckle ball. It is called the hardest pitch to hit. A pitch that seemingly floats like a butterfly and then magically drops into the strike zone, dumbfounding the batter and almost always resulting in a strike out. But how is this pitch actually thrown? The name of the pitch essentially entails how the pitch is thrown, the pitcher curls his fingers into his hand, placing the knuckles of his fingers on the ball, and releasing the ball in this manner and fashion. But why does this work? It comes down to the position of the laces. By throwing the ball off the pitcher’s knuckles, the ball exhibits no spin throughout the entire duration of the pitch. This allows different lift forces within the air is passes to exert themselves upon the ball. By doing this, the ball is subject to different planar movements as a result of different lift forces manifesting themselves upon the baseball that is thrown. In a simplistic explanation, this is why a knuckle ball “knuckles” as it is thrown.

Commonly referred to as football, soccer has become a revolution in many parts of the world. It is a big part of people’s lives, be it for leisure or career (Mason, Viii). Soccer has developed over the years to include many different variations of the game. According to Television Fanatic (par 2), many of the variations develop out of need while others are tailored to suit particular groups of people like the disabled.
In 1910, the cork core was introduced, but there was still no regulations on what the inside of the ball would be made of. Finally, in 1934, the American League- “which favored live balls and big hitters”, and the National League- “known to use thicker, looser balls that favored the pitcher” came up with a standard ball. Neither the ball of the MLB, or the process used in making it, have changed much since then. (Stamp)
The ball must be held by the hands. The arms or body must not be used for holding it.
The problems and injuries that come with playing football have been obvious since the beginning, and to this day are still being discovered and researched in hopes of finding solutions so that the sport is not so dangerous. Malcolm Gla...
The amazing game of soccer is played in every continent, and is the world’s most popular sport. It is proven to be one of the number one sports to be played and watched. Because its fans and players are so devoted, the sport continues to grow. Requiring only a ball and open space, the activity is available to anyone, whether rich or poor, male or female, athletic or not. Over the years, soccer has won the hearts of many because of its unique history, many benefits, and notable achievements.
The laws of the football game were initially classified in England by The Football Association in 1863. ’’ 2. What is the difference between a GAMEPLAY Association football is played in agreement with a set of rules known as the ‘Laws of the Game’. The game is played using a sphere-shaped ball of 71 cm circumference, known as the ‘football’ or ‘soccer ball’.
