Wow waterpolo. A very infamous sport here in Hawaii not quite as large of a crowd compared to football thats for sure. Sports make it very simple to see everyday science, esp. physics. This week I found 2 dimensional kinematics (ooh, fascinating *insert amazed emoji*). When a ball is thrown (which it is quite a lot in this sport) it is a projectile moving in two directions. The first of which is on the y- axis as you can watch the ball be thrown and caught in a parabolic motion. Then we can see on the x-axis that there is a constant acceleration in which the ball is having due to the fact that gravity is always present.
