Physics of sports video

Our task

Our goal was to make a video showing detailed steps about how to perform a sports action as well as the Physics that was involved. We began this process by storyboarding and scripting. We used a Google Jamboard to draw out our initial plan and what steps we wanted to include. Then we switched to a Google Doc to write out detailed steps that each group member would say in the video. After we had a good script and plan, we started to record. In the video, In the video I did a voice over on the video. Then we used the video to get all the calculations, which would also be added to the video. Then we began the long process of editing the video. Out of the whole video this was the most annoying because only one person could edit the video at a time. After we realized this we didn't really know what to do. Me and Noela recorded a video of us reading our script, either than that all we could really do is give feedback to the main editor.

Underneath this section there will be my video, rough draft and jamboard.

This is my video.

Now this is my Jamboard and script

This is where we planned out and brainstormed what we were gonna do in the video and to the right is our script that we made for the video.

Physics in our Video

In our video, we included many calculations that describe different Physics aspects during the roundoff. Below are the equations and solutions that we included as well as photos of my work.

Horizontal Running Velocity

How we solved: t= 1s d(horizontal) = 2.1m

Velocity (horizontal) = 2.1m/1s = 2.1 m/s


Momentum Running

How we solved: p=m x v m=52 kg

p=m x 2.1 m/s p= 52 kg x 2.1 m/s

p=109.2 Ns


Force on Hands

How we solved: F=ma

9.8 m/s x 1/6 s = Velocity(vertical) Velocity(vertical)= 1.6m/s 0.87m / 4/5s = 0.7 m/s

1.6 m/s - 0.7 m/s = 0.9 m/s 1/6 - 4/5 = 5/30 - (- 24/30) = 29/30

a= change(v) / change(t) a= 0.93 m/s^2

52 kg x 0.93 m/s^2 = 48.75 N

52 kg x 9.8 = 510 + 48.75 N = 560 N


Vertical Velocity of final hop

How we solved: Velocity(vertical)= (acceleration due to gravity)(time of fall)

Velocity(vertical)= (9.8 m/s^2)(1/6 s) = 1.63 m/s


Total Velocity

1.63 m/s + 2.1 m/s= 2.6m/s


Reflection

During this project I felt like I did well on giving ideas and helping out group mates when they needed it. Usually we would have been able to edit our video as a group in a classroom setting but we had to be flexible this year. Only one person was able to edit the video at a time, so the that was kind of a slowed down our process. Having to do the editing one person at a time, I learned how to cooperate better. My group and I and completed the assignments that were connected to the project to the best of our ability and kept track of what we were supposed to do to finish the project on time.

Some things I have to work on is work ethic and be more vocal about my thoughts, I was not that good at expressing my thoughts thought out this project and I was a little bit quiet. Another thing I think we should have worked on as a group was time management because we did not think about what took the longest and we didn't really have a goal for each day. In future projects I want to set goals for each days and be more productive each day.
