What are the physics in pitching a fastpitch softball?

20% Time Pitch

My third question

How much does force apply to pitching?

Body movement has alot to do with pitching. The more body movenet you have, the faster the pitch will be. Body movement also effects pitches. certain pitches involve certain body movements.

My third question

How are softball and science related?

My second question

How does physics apply to softball?

Gravity, force, aerodynamics, force, and velocity all have a big part in softball. All these things effect how a pitcher pitches and what the ball does. It also effects the whole game.

Physics effect how the ball moves and how the pitcher must throw the ball. Our mind is always doing physics when playing softball. We are constantly figuring how hard to the throw the ball, and where to let go of the ball to get it to another player.

I know that most of your speed comes from the last part of your windup.

The more force you use when you lunge from the mound and the greater distance you lunge, the faster your pitch will be.

In order to get a faster pitch, you must have a fast wrist flip.

I also know that you have to get your whole body invoveled.

The spin of the ball effects what the ball will do. If you release the ball with a spin that rotates up, the ball will rise.

If you release the ball with a spin that rotates down, the ball will drop.

The Magnus Effect- the force used on a rapidly spinning cylinder or sphere moving through air in a direction at an angle to the axis of spin. This force is responsible for the swerving of balls when hit or thrown with spin
