Baseball & Softball Science: Throw It Farther!
An outfielder has to work hard to throw a baseball or softball
to home plate. How can an athlete get the ball to go as far as
possible? Find out with this activity!
Materials
A garden hose attached to an outdoor faucet
Do This!
Turn the water on full-force. Point the hose horizontally, parallel to
the ground. Observe how far the water travels. Gradually raise the end
of the hose so it points away from the ground. Observe how far the
water travels. At what angle does the water travel farthest?
What’s Going On?
As you increase the angle of the hose, the water travels a greater distance. After the hose reaches a certain angle, however, the water will begin to travel a shorter distance. The water should travel the farthest when it comes out of the hose at a 45 degree angle.
When a ball is thrown at an angle, two components make up the motion of the object. There is a vertical component, which causes the ball to move up and down, and a horizontal component, which causes it to move forward. The vertical component of the ball’s motion changed because of gravity, but the horizontal component remains constant throughout the ball’s flight.
To get the ball to travel farther, you need to trade off time in the air (vertical component) for speed of the ball (horizontal component). This is usually at about a 45-degree angle.
