Physics of Sports Video

Above is our Physics of Sports Video.

The process of our making of the video included making the script, filming, and calculations. First, the script was written during the first two days of the project. This included the steps and calculations for the video. Next, the filming. This was taken at a driving range, where we demonstrated the golf swing throughout the video. Finally, the calculations. These were based on different factors taken from the video.

Technical Specs:

Force of Impact: 37.82 Newtons

Horizontal Velocity: 5.88 M/S

Vertical Velocity: 13.75 M/S 

Total Velocity: 7.82 M/S 

Momentum: .35145 kg x m/s

Two things I did well:

1. Editing of the video was done by me and turned out decent

2. I believe I collaborated well and used this to my advantage by constantly updating my group on progress

Two things I want to improve on:

1. Calculations: I had a difficult time writing down the calculations

2. Time management: I didn't have near enough time to properly film the video so another person had to record the video.
