Physics of Baseball
Introduction
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.

Baseball is not a difficult game
to comprehend, but it can a very long time to achieve a high level of
performance. Usually one starts playing this game at a very young age
and the
first thing they start out with is throwing. Throwing a baseball
involves
exploiting all major muscle groups in the body to generate a large
torque on
the arm that will in turn create a high potential for speed when it is
released.
