Hangtime

How can physics help us improve our game by understanding hangtime?

Physics and Sports

What does physics have to do with hangtime?

How good is your hangtime? Activity

-Take data to demonstrate the acceleration due to gravity

-SHARE an annotated video #ASEECamps

How does predictable acceleration help us in basketball and football?

Can you beat gravity?

-Find examples of longer and shorter hangtime in nature and in human technologies/motion

-Check out this student project on the effects of drag on hangtime.

Do athletes really break the laws of gravity?

What should athletes do to increase their hops?

OTHER PHYSICS APPS

Lab 4 Chemistry is also from Lab4U. Supports chemistry experiments.
Graphical GW from Graphical Analysis (iOS) has a nice simple ball toss data set example.
Video Physics from Vernier (iOS only) allows you to import video, not just take a new video. Exports video with dots, and exports data file to open with free Graphical Analysis on the computer. (Graphical Analysis works on any computer)
Phyphox (iOS or Android) has a ton of sensor set-ups with accelerometer and sound, no camera.
