Physics References
Here are some pages on general physics topics that are provided for
discussion of some of the physics principles we discuss in the Bullpen
and Batting Cage. You can use these pages to clear up your understanding
of these principles or use them to enhance your studies in physics.
All of the lessons in this section use a
rating system to inform you of the amount of physics content
that each contains. However, just because a lesson has a
rating doesn't mean that you shouldn't read it if you don't
have any experience in physics. It only means that
extra information such as equations are provided in the lesson
for physics-buffs and are not intended to be understandable to all.
Little League. Very little or no physics subject matter. Easy to understand.
Minor League. Discussion of physics concepts, but still introductory level material.
Major League. Equations and/or problems that will take experience or studying to understand.
Isaac Newton and His Laws
Learn more about Newton's Law and Newton's Law of Gravity.
Momentum
Find out how momentum affects how far a ball travels. Also learn about
conservation of momentum.
Position, Velocity, and Acceleration
Learn what position, velocity, and acceleration really are and how they
relate to solving physics problems.
Solving a Physics Problem
Want to solve physics problems that seem too overwhelming? Learn how to
methodically solve from the simplest to more complex physics problems.
Classic vs. Modern Physics
Think that Newton's Laws are all wrong? Well, you might be right. Learn
about Einstein's famous E=mc2 and alternative ideas on gravity.
