March Madness


After realizing that there was nothing to watch but college basketball for about a month long stretch of time, I eventually gave in and started watching the games and I found out that all the players must be masters of physics. I found it amazing that they could always throw a ball from like 20 feet away into a hole that is 10 feet in the air and is just a little bit larger than the ball. They need to throw the ball with enough arc that it can fall through the hoop easily but then they must also calculate the horizontal force needed to get it the right distance and they also need to know the force required to get the ball to the right spot and release it at a point where the angles will all be correct as well. Who knew these guys were so smart?
