I love playing volleyball with my friends in gym. It's a great sport to play and a lot of fun. Volleyball is a sport includes projectile motion and many aspects of physics. If there wasn't gravity volleyball wouldn't be a game because the ball would never come down. I've learned that players calculate all these things in their heads and don't even know it.

It's no secret that everybody loves listening to music. From nodding our heads in the car while driving to stuffing our ears with headphones while exercising, we make music an essential part of our everyday lives, sometimes unknowingly. But why does music have such universal appeal? If we look at it from a scientific viewpoint, we'll find valuable answers.

It turns out that music has such a powerful psychological impact on human beings. Not only is music a luxury, but it is also a necessity. In fact, research shows we should probably listen to more music than we actually do. "Music is exercise to the brain," says Teresa Nakra, associate professor of music at The College of New Jersey. "It engages your brain in different levels of thinking."

We may think that we are simply just listening to a song, but there's much more to it than that. We are actually dissecting the songs that we listen to. Our brain is trying to follow the downbeats and upbeats of the drums, all while recognizing the different octaves and notes of the horns and the voice. "Music forces us to use multiple levels of thinking simultaneously," Nakra explains.

Research shows that the brain produces brainwaves from music with a strong and defining beat, and those brainwaves determine our level of concentration and alertness, according to an article in the psychological health magazine Complete Wellbeing. The article also notes that listening to music increases levels of optimism and pleasure.

Robert Young McMahan, music theory professor at the College, says people listen to music to help them feel good in whatever situation they are in and that different types of music call for different situations. "If you go to a grocery store, you hear music played in the background that usually has popular standards," McMahan says. "But, if you go to the Penn Station in New York, you usually hear classical music. There is a reason that they are playing those specific kinds of music."

Research has also shown that listening to classical music slows down your heart and breathing rate, which is why we listen to classical music while relaxing. Genres such as rock and pop help clear our minds when in the middle of stressful and complex activities, which is why we listen to those types of music when we are working out in the gym.

What exactly, though, causes us to react in these different ways when we are listening to different types of music? Several media outlets, such as CNN and Discovery News, mention that researchers find that listening to music causes the release of dopamine, the brain's way of responding to pleasurable activity, such as eating good-tasting food or watching our favorite television shows.

It is important to note, says McMahan, that while our brain is responding to and analyzing the music that we listen to, we ourselves are not analyzing it. Music serves as a background to help us focus on activity, but it does not serve as a focus itself. "We certainly use music in that kind of utilitarian way as a secondary thing to affect our moods, rather than sitting down, concentrating on and listening to it," he says.

Take studying or doing schoolwork, for example. McMahan states that the best students are the ones who do not need music and can focus on their schoolwork without the need to listen to it; however, there are many students who cannot concentrate on their work without it. An article in The New York Times in the summer of 2012 explains this theory that our minds tend to wander while trying to focus on schoolwork in a quiet environment. However, listening to music, as the article explains, allows our minds to come "back to the present moment" and regain our focus. Listening to music, in this case, serves as the background or environment for these students and allows them to concentrate on their work.

Besides being a background or a mood enhancer, music can also be a person's companion. According to McMahan, music can be our friend, especially during times of loneliness. He says studying can often be a lonely experience, and so students listen to music while doing so because they like the companionship of something that sounds live in the room with them. "I think a lot of people wouldn't want to admit that," McMahan says.

Science for soccer can be the way you kick the ball and the amount of force you put in the ball so it could go high. It also all about your brain and your reflexes. Also if you want to kick the ball high make sure your foot is under the ball to make it go high and reduced your density because if you kick a ball very hard it will not go very high.

While soccer isn't as popular in North America as it is in Europe, people from all over the world still enjoy the game no matter where they are. Whether it's actually playing the game or sitting in your friend's apartment participating in FIFA 14 tournaments, soccer's appeal continues to grow rapidly. I remember playing organized soccer as a kid, only to find out that I should stick to basketball. At the time, my foot work and mechanics weren't up to par with the rest of the kids on the field. Looking back on my soccer playing days, I start to wonder what the formula is to kicking the perfect soccer ball in a game. Thanks to a few physics students at the University of Leicester, I may have found an answer.

In 2011, four master's physics students at the University of Leicester's Department of Physics and Astronomy, published a paper that explained the ideal way of kicking a soccer ball in order to make it bend into the goal. Those four students, Jasmine Sandhu, Amy Edgington, Matthew Grant and Naomi Rowe-Gurney believe they have discovered a formula that describes how a soccer ball curves when a player puts a spin on it. According to the group, there is a relationship between the "amount a football (soccer ball) bends in the air, the speed it is traveling and the angular velocity -- or "spin" -- applied to the ball."

When a football spins in the air, it is subjected to a force called the Magnus force - which causes it to curl sideways from the direction is was originally kicked (Sandhu, Edgington, Grant, & Rowe-Gurney, 2012).

When a soccer ball is kicked, the distance that it bends is related to the ball's radius, the density of air, the ball's angular velocity, it's velocity through the air, it's mass, and the distance traveled by the ball in the direction it was kicked.

Here's a picture of the equation:

· X: Distance travelled by ball in the direction it was kicked

Example scenario given by the group: If a soccer player standing 15 metres away from the byline kicked an average football so that it was traveling at a velocity of 35 metres per second and had an angular velocity of 10 revolutions per second, the ball would bend around 5 metres towards the goal.

As a kid, I was overly optimistic about my soccer abilities before I even got on the field to actually play. I thought that I was good in everything, but I was in for a rude awakening. I know that the physics of soccer doesn't stop here. There are plenty more aspects. For an example, a new ball was designed to be used during the 2010 World Cup. The ball has three dimensional moulding of the panels that produce a more rounded ball. A more rounded ball affects the spin that can be imparted.

Soccer consists of an abundance of fast pace movements and acrobatic exercise. Motion, friction, momentum, and aerodynamics all relate to the formula used above. Of course, Newton's Laws are involved in the physics of soccer. In order to find more information on the role of Newton's Laws 1, 2, and 3, click here.

Soccer is one of the world's most beloved sports overall. But don't be a fool like me and go onto a soccer field with all the confidence in the world, to only fail horribly at it. While the game sounds simple and fun, there's tons of physics involve. But if you're able to master of all the physics of soccer, you'll be able to Bend it Like Beckham.

Overall I think this was a very cool study. The four students put together solid reasoning for how to make a soccer ball bend towards the goal by using a specific formula. When looking at how the formula is calculated, it all makes sense, but the example that they provided put it into a better perspective.

The rhythm of walking helps shape your thoughts walking also helps you exercise

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Charles Darwin, Friedrich Nietzsche, William Wordsworth, even Aristotle: The list of great minds that were also obsessive walkers is long. Why is the connection between wandering feet and a productive brain so strong and so long-lasting?

It's a topic I've come across several times before, noting individual studies or lines of research that give partial answers. Any form of exercise has been shown to light up the brain, for instance, so it's no surprise that walking would have a positive effect on thinking. Other studies confirm that walking is also a creativity booster.

But an in-depth article from Ferris Jabr in The New Yorker I stumbled on recently pulls all this science together, digging into not only the historical connection between long walks and great ideas, but also explaining just what happens in our heads when we head out for a wander. It's well worth a read if you want a deep dive into the subject, but here's a quick recap of Jabr's answer to the essential question--why is walking so good for thinking?

Exercise

Jabr starts with the straightforward research demonstrating the link between an active mind and an active body. Not only does getting the heart pumping increase blood flow to the brain, but it also kicks off a host of positive changes inside our heads.

"Walking on a regular basis also promotes new connections between brain cells, staves off the usual withering of brain tissue that comes with age, increases the volume of the hippocampus (a brain region crucial for memory), and elevates levels of molecules that both stimulate the growth of new neurons and transmit messages between them," he writes.

Rhythm

Beyond the benefits of any sort of mild exertion, walking has special charms for the thinker. One, apparently, is the easy rhythm of our steps. Just as the tempo of the music we're listening to can shape our mood, the pat, pat, pat of our feet can stimulate and shape our thoughts.

"Walking at our own pace creates an unadulterated feedback loop between the rhythm of our bodies and our mental state that we cannot experience as easily when we're jogging at the gym, steering a car, biking, or during any other kind of locomotion. When we stroll, the pace of our feet naturally vacillates with our moods and the cadence of our inner speech; at the same time, we can actively change the pace of our thoughts by deliberately walking more briskly or by slowing down," claims Jabr.

Attention

Perhaps most powerful of all is how walking holds just some of our attention, leaving a large segment to meander and observe. It's this doing-something-but-not-really-thinking-about-it aspect of walking that might be most directly behind the ability of a good walk to stir up creative, new ideas.

"Because we don't have to devote much conscious effort to the act of walking, our attention is free to wander--to overlay the world before us with a parade of images from the mind's theatre. This is precisely the kind of mental state that studies have linked to innovative ideas and strokes of insight," he notes.

physics are a major part in music, if its playing an instrument or using your voice physics play a part. The vibration of the instrument or voice physics would be included. Music is a necessity and a luxury. Music makes a psychological impact on humans as it exercise the brain. Music makes us use different levels of think because our brain breaks it down by following the beat and the octaves. Different genres of music makes us react differently, and you might not notice it. When students listen to music while working it snaps them back into working when in a quiet environment. Here's an article that talks about the science of music.

Physics are in a lot of sports we play including basket ball. When you shoot you need to know the exact angle for the ball to go in the net, plus the diameter of the ball is actually a parabola (a symmetrical open plane curve formed by the intersection of a cone with a plane parallel to its side). When you play basketball you kind of are already using physics to score a point. If you get the wrong angle for the ball to go in the net it will miss or if you are not paying attention to your surroundings and distance you will cause a foul or the opponent will take the ball and score.   By Tyler Cunningham

Science and acting are the same, in which one type of acting, improvisation where you are forced to think of something right on the spot is kind of similar in which sometimes in science, you don't always have instructions and you just have to play it by ear.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Acting/the work of an actor or actress, which is a person in the theater, television, film, or any of the storytelling mediums who tells the story by portraying a character and usually speaking or singing the written text or play.

Science/a systematic enterprise of gathering knowledge about nature and organizing and condensing that knowledge into testable laws and theories.

As a teacher and actor, I never once thought of the correlations between acting and science until this institute. I know that acting is a form of communication as is all of the theater arts, but having gone down this inquiry based road for the past three weeks, I'm seeing things in a different light. Communication stems from many things.

Science tells a story and in that story there isn't any truth, there is a summary of observations that keeps changing. Unlike acting which also tells a story, but in this case a truth has to be reached in order to bring the audience to an emotional peak. Of course we have to remember that acting is creative and a form of art where many liberties are taken which will not always correlate and agree with science. I tell my students to always think about what they are doing until they are unconsciously doing something else that I didn't tell them. In other words, I'm just now realizing that all of the input that I, the playwright, or any outside source has provided them with, should become 'natural' output which to my mind equals truth. And since 'input' is ambiguous and subject to multiple interpretations, we could say that any type of input wherever it may come from could be thought of as a form of 'technique' for the actor.

Since there are many schools of acting such as The Method and the Stanislavski technique, each of these techniques requires various inputs in order to ascertain certain outputs. For example: the Method requires that one use past life experiences in order to bring forth the required emotions one needs for a character. Past life experiences could be various inputs one has acquired throughout many years. These inputs should according to the Method bring about the output or 'truth' needed for the character. I don't subscribe to all of these techniques. I've always told my students that talent is innate and something that one is born with. The more you use your talent the better you will become with it if your lucky (inquiry activity). There are certain techniques used in science and acting. Some may be helpful and some may not.

Acting requires conversation and dialogue. It is ever changing and sometimes improvised. It's planning goes right and many times goes wrong. An actor is also an Empirical inquirer; he can learn by interacting with the outside world and his fellow actors. He doesn't always think, but is many times, random in his speech and movement, ergo, science. Here is, I think an example of a few of the subjects we've discussed in this institute ( inner dialogue, storytelling, optical illusions, the nervous system).

odd
Science and acting are ongoing processes. I tell my student's young and old that in order to create believable characters, one has to understand themselves and the human psyche. What is the human psyche but the conscious and the unconscious battling it out! There is a book entitled The Science of Acting by Sam Kogan in which he poses the question: How can an actor understand a character if he doesn't understand himself? He uses the relationship between neuroscience, his theories, and psychology to answer this questions. Also he presents the reader with an understanding of the subconscious and how it can be applied to acting. Here is an example of the conscious and the unconscious communicating.

snake

In acting, as in science, actors are constantly evolving, making new observations, and trying things out without knowing whether they will work or not. Isn't this a a type of reflective learning? When an actor has a revelatory moment of truth we can look at that as a 'aaahhhhaaaaa' moment. These are examples of two 'aaahhhhhaaa' moments that were unscripted.

cowboy
Acting affects theater and theater affects culture and vice versa. Science is a process of creating a new understanding. Actors as storytellers have the power to do that also. Science is not objective but creative, like acting. Both are ever changing - new ideas, thoughts, theories and processes are constantly taking place and creating new stories. This is very much the case watching an actor give several performances in a play. No one performance is the same as another. The story is told but in a different way every night.

There are many correlations between acting and science that are visible to me now that weren't before. Hopefully, I can take back to my students everything that I have learned in this institute about communication/conversation and all of it's brothers and sisters and apply it to their talents as actors and as individuals. After all Shakespeare said it best when he said, "All the world's a stage and the men and women in it merely players."
