Math and Arithmetic

Math is the study of abstractions. Math allows us to isolate one or a few features such as the number, shape or direction of some kind of object. Then we can study what can be learned about the behavior of those features while ignoring everything else about the object.

How do you do a roundoff?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To be able to perform a roundoff it is necessary to be able to do a cartwheel. Next practice a cartwheel from a hurdle step, which means to use a small run and a hop into the "lunge" with one leg forward so the added speed makes the cartwheel rotate faster. The next step is to do a "push away" or 'snap down" cartwheel from the hurdle. The idea is to push off the ground with the arms so that the entire body is off the ground momentarily before the first foot touches the ground. Once a student can do this particular type of cartwheel then turning it into a roundoff is only a matter of finishing the cartwheel with the feet together. The hurdle, and snap down add enough extra time to bring the legs together and make the roundoff possible. A pointer on how to place the hands: Try to consistently place the hands on the ground one at a time and more or less in a straight line. If the fingers are pointed in the direction of where the skill began, this way it is possible for the gymnast to push from the hands as well as the arms, which makes a good amount of difference. Good luck.

How many feet is a football field?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

300 ft.

1 yard = 3 feet.

=> 100 yards = 300 feet.

However, if you account for the 10-yard endzones at either end, then the football field is actually 360 feet or 120 yards.

What is the correct way to shoot a basketball?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Let's get this straight- there is no correct way to shoot a basketball. There are wrong ways to shoot basketball (e.g. with one hand, using both hands all the way, etc.), but no right or correct ways. Everyone starts out shooting their own way, and this way usually is correct. If you continue to shoot that way and the shot works for you, and works for you means that you don't get blocked often, stolen from, and don't take longer than 1.5 seconds to shoot, than you should be fine with your shooting form.

First, make sure your right foot is slightly ahead of your left (or vice-versa.) Next, make sure you are holding the ball with your shooting hand right behind it and your other hand on the side making somewhat of a T shape. Make sure you use your legs!!! After a while of practice it will become natural. That's when muscle memory kicks in!! GOOD LUCK!!

What is the difference between a 20 inch bike and a 26 inch bike?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are several options to that question. If you're talking about frame size on a MTB, then 20" would be a large bike. If you're talking about 20" wheel size, then it's probably a BMX which is a fairly small bike.

How much rubber is in a tennis ball?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Tennis balls are made of a layer of rubber surrounding a hollow center. Then they put a thin layer of adhesive on the rubber and cover it with a layer of felt (usually yellow). The letters that you may see on the felt are just black ink. The air pressure inside the ball is 12 psi (pounds per square inch) greater than ambient air pressure at sea level (the 'normal' air pressure all around you). The ambient air pressure is 14.7 psi, so all together, the pressure inside the ball is 26.7 psi. I'm not quite sure what you mean by the 'amount of air inside the ball,' but you can figure out how much space is in the ball using the equation for the volume of a sphere (4/3*pi*r^3). A tennis ball that I have here is 2 1/4 inches across, with 1/8 inch thick rubber all around. So the open space inside is 2 inches across (the diameter is 2 inches). The radius (r) is half of that, so r=1 inch. So the volume of the inside of the ball is 4/3*pi (pi=3.14) inches^3 = 4.2 inches^3. (You would say this as 4.2 cubic inches of open space.)

A mile in a 25 yard pool equals 71 lengths or 36 laps (1,760 yards in a mile).

A mile in a 25 meter pool equals 66 lengths or 33 laps (1,650 meters in a mile).

In a 50 Meter pool, a mile is 1,650 meters, which is 33 lengths or 17 laps of the pool.
