Draw connections between BADMINTON and the subjects of physics, chemistry, biology, and maths. Be creative and remember to put down your ANSWERS as comments by JUNE 3, 2024. REMEMBER- the best answer gets a SHOUT-OUT on our blog (and our YouTube channel, and wins a gift or a coupon/ gift card).
Chemistry Behind Badminton
1) Badminton Shoes have rubber soles so that when the floor is wet from sweat, you do not slip when you step on them..
2) Badminton Rackets are made of strong material like carbon fibre so that they will not break upon the force of the impact with a shuttlecock.
3) Badminton Shuttlecocks are composed of 16 feathers from a goose to make it light and fast.
4) Badminton Strings are strong, thin and durable. The strings are tightened for tension meaning strength. Some materials are Carbon nano-fiber.
What kind of clothes should we wear for badminton?
We should avoid cotton t-shirts and shorts as they may get heavy and will do you more harm in a game of badminton. By choosing a lightweight t-shirt, you will enhance your speed

About shuttle cock
A shuttlecock is formed from 16 or so overlapping feathers, usually goose or duck, embedded into a rounded cork base. Feathers are plucked from the wings of a live goose or duck, a method which has been deemed cruel by animal rights activists in recent years. The cork is covered with thin leather.
SPEED AND VELOCITY
Speed and velocity are two of the main elements for badminton. the speed of the shuttlecock determines the opposing players action. The speed of a shuttlecock and go up to over 206 miles an hour in a game. The player has to run around at a fast pace if they want to make a response and/or not loose a point. The velocity is changed when a player hits a shuttlecock and changes the direction. Speed is one of the main elements of the sport: Badminton.
ACCELERATION
Acceleration is the increase/decrease the speed or velocity of an object. Acceleration applies to the shuttlecock in a very simple way. One player hits the shuttlecock and it decreases its speed as it flies over the net to the other player. Acceleration occurs again when the other player hits it back over the net and changes the velocity.
GRAVITY
Without any gravity the shuttlecock would keep going. The gravity also keeps the players and net down. It would also be harder to swing the racket without gravity and a force pulling the racket downwards.
