Energy
- Dribbling a basketball is hard
work in itself and trying to maintain the energy
in the ball can be a struggle
- Before a player puts the ball on
the floor, we know from physics that the ball
has a potential energy and it changes with
change height. As the player starts
to dribble, the potential energy turns into
kinetic energy and as it hits the floor, it
actually loses energy and is transformed into
heat. As the ball comes back to the player's
hand, it changes back from kinetic to potential.
This cycle is constantly repeated when dribbling
the ball
- This is also why dribbling is
not an easy task because the player has to
constantly be applying more force to each
dribble to maintain the path of the ball or else
it will not come back to the initial position of
the player's hand
