43. Physics of Sports

How can you shoot a hoop to increase your chance of a successful free throw? How does the speed at which you kick a soccer ball affect its trajectory? How is sporting equipment designed to maximize performance? What do you look for when shopping for shoes or a baseball bat for your next game? Sports are a constant display of physics in action—whether it's helping athletes run faster, developing a training routine, preventing injuries, or designing athletic gear and clothing. Nathan Kwan, full time science teacher, part time runner, and occasional rapper, tells us about the physics of running and how you can use physics to improve sports performance. Then visit Atlanta, a city in a forest, that is home to Coca-Cola, the world’s busiest airport, and 71 streets named Peachtree (but no actual peach trees)!
