Friction in Volleyball

Frication plays a huge role in every aspect of our lives; it can play a negative or positive role. In volleyball there are various types of friction that have positive influences on the way the game is played and there are others that play a negative role in the way the game is played.

Positive friction in volleyball.

In volleyball the aim of the game is to strike a ball into play that your opponent cannot return or finds it difficult to return. A friction force that makes this possible is the friction of the air on the ball, for example when a player hits a ball with topspin into play, the friction of the air on the ball makes it spin faster than it otherwise would. Topspin makes a ball harder to pick-up and pass to the setter.

Another force that is present is the ball itself, if there was no friction it would be virtually impossible to pass set, or hit the ball, the ball would just slip through your arms or hands.

When jumping a player also uses the frictions of their feet on the floor to gain a higher jump to strike the ball at maximal height, if this didn't exist players would be slipping and sliding around all over the court.

Negative friction in volleyball.

Friction also plays a negative part in the game of volleyball, when a player dives for a ball the friction of the court on their skin causes court burn or friction burn. Although the friction of the rubber soles of shoes on the court is a positive it can also be a negative, if there is too much friction players can become injured from the sudden stopping that the friction can cause. Some injuries that can result from this would be hyperextensions of the knees and or ankle injuries.

dopamine..

"it was found that some people who were taking the drug l-dopa to raise their levels of dopamine were developing schizophrenic-like symptoms supporting research a strength of the dopamine hypothesis is that there are many studies which have shown support for the neurochemical explanation."

Avertical clean glass piezometer tube has an inside diameter of d = 1 mm and is used to measure pressure in a horizontal pipe carrying water as shown. due to pressure in the pipe, the water at 20c rises into the tube to a height h. if the water pressure in the pipe is p = 500 pa gauge, estimate the height h: (a) without considering surface tension (b) with surface tension (capillary) effects. the contact angle  can be assumed at 30 deg

People with normal vision cannot focus their eyes underwater if they aren't wearing a face mask or goggles and there is water in contact with their eyes. in a simplified model of the human eye, the aqueous and vitreous humors and the lens all have a refractive index of 1.40, and all the refraction occurs at the cornea, whose vertex is 2.60 cm from the retina.with the simplified model of the eye, what corrective lens (specified by focal length as measured in air) would be needed to enable a person underwater to focus an infinitely distant object? (be careful-the focal length of a lens underwater is not the same as in air! assume that the corrective lens has a refractive index of 1.62 and that the lens is used in eyeglasses, not goggles, so there is water on both sides of the lens. assume that the eyeglasses are 2.05cm in front of the eye.)
