What do these five sports have to do with science?
Poker Face asked:
I already know a few things about why they have to do with science, when I say science I’m talking about Mechanical Advantage and Efficiency, things like velocity, levers(first class,second class, third class), friction, simple machines(pulley, gear,wheel etc…) and many more. Anyway, here are the sports:

Anyway, here are the sports:
Diving (diving board- second class lever)
Hockey (hockey stick-third class lever)
Biking ( friction and wind resistance)
Running (friction or traction)
Tennis (racket-third class lever)
Please use some scientific words, but easy enough for me to understand. Also, explain how and why they have to do with science.
