Why is a baseball pitchers pitching arm usually longer than the other one sometimes by 1-2 inches?
I believe it has to do with the force exerted on the pitching arm. Throwing all those fast pitches puts strain on the arm and bones, and slowly makes the arm grow longer.
What does throwing out your arm mean?
That is a term used with pitchers and means the pitcher has an arm/shoulder injury.
Do only lefty pitchers break their arm during pitch?
No WAY Right Handed pitchers break their arms during pitching too
Was there ever a rule in major league baseball limiting how high a pitchers arm could be while pitching?
Yes, before 1883, a pitcher could not deliver a pitch above his waist.
What is in a baseball pitcher's rosin bag?
Rosin absorbs moisture and pitchers use it to take the sweat off of their pitching hand and arm.
Why Pitchers run after pitching?
Pitchers run after pitching because of the lactic acid buildup in the arm. If the pitcher does not run, the lactic acid sits in their arm and that could be bad. So the pitcher runs to move the lactic acid around the body and distribute it evenly.
Why can't baseball pitchers throw every day?
baseball pitchersbecause it isn't natural to our body. our body wasn't made for our arms to constantly reach past the height of our shoulders with such force. Like body building, most people need 3,4 sometimes even 5 days to recover from such stress. After the game hard pitchers usually ice there arm/shoulder to reduce the inflammation, thus, starting up recovery. Nolan Ryan, when be came up people said he'll be lucky to pitch like that 2 years. So there are some freaks out there!
Is a hammer a kind of lever?
Yes, a hammer is a kind of lever. When you swing a hammer, you are using it as a lever to apply force to a particular point. The handle acts as the lever arm to increase the force applied to the head of the hammer.
What is the force that pushes on one arm of a lever?
The force that pushes on one arm of a lever is called the effort force. This force is applied to overcome the resistance force, which is the force exerted by the load on the other arm of the lever. The lever then magnifies the effort force to lift or move the load.
How much force does take to break an arm?
it takes about 9 pounds of force to break your arm
What is the force advantage for levers?
The force advantage for levers is the factor by which a lever multiplies the input force applied to it. This advantage is determined by the ratio of the distances from the fulcrum to the point where the input force is applied (effort arm) and the point where the output force is exerted (load arm). The longer the effort arm compared to the load arm, the greater the force advantage.
What is lever arm ratio?
Divide the length of the force arm by the length of the resistance arm.
