Major physics concepts used

Force of impact: This is how hard an object in motion hits something else, for example if someone pushes a shopping cart with 12 N of force it then moves with around 6 N of force.  This concept is found by dividing momentum by the time the force is applied. 

Horizontal Velocity: Horizontal Velocity is how much an object is moving horizontally, which is not affected by the vertical velocity. For example when you throw a baseball it is moving at 36 M/S. This can be found by dividing distance by time.

 Vertical Velocity: This is how fast an object is moving on the vertical axis, which is always changing and never at one speed the whole time. An example of this would be a rocket ship moves at a vertical velocity of 5,600 M/S. Which is found by multiplying the acceleration due to gravity(9.8 M/S) by the time. 

Total Velocity: Total velocity is the vertical and horizontal velocity together, which then forms the total velocity of an object in motion. This is used when an object is being thrown it is both moving horizontal and vertical because it goes above where it is originally throw.  In order to find the total velocity you must use the Pythagorean theorem and do a^2 + b^2 = c^2, with the horizontal and vertical velocities being the A and B. 

Conservation of momentum: This is the idea that before and after impact the momentum is always going to be equal to each other since it can neither be created or destroyed.  For example when a gun is shot both the recoil of the gun and the bullet have the same momentum. The equation for this concept is m1v1+m2v2=m1v1+m2v2.

Reflection

After going through every step, and working on my groups video for around 3-4 weeks i'm pretty satisfied with my work in general. There were some times where I would occasionally get off task but most of the time I pulled myself back and continued to work on the task at hand.  Throughout the entire project I feel as though I was able to communicate very well with my teammates and got my ideas across well. I was able to give input on the video and script that helped us create an even better end result. 

On the other hand I wasn't very creative during this project. Although I had some ideas I never thought outside the box that much and I kinda left the imagination part to the rest of my teammates. There were also times during the project where I drifted apart and didn't collaborate as well or wasn't engaged. Even though I was able to get the job down I still feel as if I could have collaborated a bit more.  

However I still was able to critically think and solve problems when they happened in the project. When we needed to cut our video down by about a minute I was able to go over the script with the help of Mr.Williams and decide how to cut up our script in order to get it more concise. Overall though I think that my group and I worked very hard on our video, and we were able to produce a clear and concise physics of sports video that was able to explain the physics of water polo well.
