MATHS IN Olympics WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MATH IN Olympics? Have you ever wondered whether there is any use of Math We use Math in a lot of Olympic games like football, basketball etc and also in athletics Let’s start with calculation in sports In soccer they need math The reason is because they have to calculate the yards they get to the touchdown A soccer field is 100 yards long, and it is marked by a line every 10 yards The 50 yard line is in the center of the field, and it divides one team’s side from the other Now, on to addition In Basket ball they need math One of the ways they use math in basketball is because they have to find the total points a player scores a game Let’s see the averaging part Now, We want to see the importance of time & speed in Sports? Don’t we? A diver needs to calculate the time & the speed to complete the diving with the stunts before he/she could touch the pool If he/she has to more stunts or difficult stunts, then he/she has to it faster Math is used in Athletics to help the athletes to achieve new distances, new speeds and new heights and also to help them not hurt themselves A sprinter should know the maximum speed at which he/she has to run to cover the distance in minimum time and win the race in record time Next, we need to know the importance of proper elevation A discuss thrower should throw his/her discuss in the 45° elevation to cover the maximum distance A discuss will travel the maximum distance with the same power, if it is thrown on 45° elevation The same is the case with a shot putter, Javelin thrower etc Why did we leave the angle? A pole-vaulter would need to calculate the angle he/she will go up and come down A mismatch in calculation will hurt him/her Thus we can say that without the help of Math we may not enjoy the sports in its true spirit THANKS Avinash S Kamath Std: IV B ...
