Throwing

  • Throwing is the launching of a bakistic projectile by hand. This action is only possible for animals with the ability to grasp objects with their hands (mainly primates).

    Humans, being bipedal, have a wide variety of throwing techniques and abilities. Throwing is used in many sports and games, particularly ballgamesin throwing sports the action is the main determiner of the outcome

    The overhand throwing motion is a complex motor skill that involves the entire body in a series of linked movements starting from the legs, progressing up through the pelvis and trunk, and culminating in a balistic motion in the arm that propels a projectile forward. It is used almost exclusively in athletic events. The throwing motion can be broken down into three basic steps: cocking, accelerating, and releasing.

    Desired qualities in the action produce a fast, accurate throw. These qualities are affected by the physical attributes of the thrower like height, strength, and flexibility. However it is mainly the throwing motion mechanics and the thrower's ability to coordinate them that determines the quality of the throw. Determining the desired qualities of the throwing motion is difficult to assess due to the extremely short amount of time that it takes professionals to perform the motion. (en. wiki)

    We can see that the flight of the ball creates a second-degree polynomial curve well known to all students. The ball's path is a parabola.

    Mathematicians describe such a curve equation

    Students throwing the ball in order to hit the target must know the problems of mathematics (movement of the ball) and physics - mainly the principles of dynamics to adjust the power of the throw, the direction of the return of the velocity vector
    The above mentioned values have a significant impact on the range of the throw and its height.
