Physics of Sports Video

Evidence of Work:

In this project we worked in a group and chose a sport that we got to explain the physics behind. And for our sport my group and I chose cycling. We calculated all sorts of physics and wrote up a script and storyboard for the project. We practiced the lines we were going to say. And split roles in the project. Some of us filmed and edited, while others helped with general calculations and explained them to the group, so that we were able to do these calculations on our own. After all of that we all go to watch the video and give some feedback to each other so that we could revise it and make it better. And that's how we made our Physics of Sports Video!

Content:

• Force of impact: The force that pulled down an object that resulted in the impact of the object, when it hit a surface. When the bike hit the ground the force of impact was 4,329.81N which is around 962lbs.
• Vertical Velocity: The vertical velocity was the distance traveled before the bike jumped, and the speed of the bike. The vertical velocity was 1.764m/s which is around 4mph.
• Horizontal Velocity: The horizontal velocity was the vertical distance of how high the bike was before hitting the ground, and the falling speed of it. 6.3m/s which is around 14mph.
• Total Velocity: The speed and direction in which the bike is moving. Our total velocity 6.54 m/s which is 15mph

We have other calculation, besides just these ones as well.

Reflection: In this project I really enjoyed working in my group. It was really fun, and it was a cool experience to make a video, for everyone to watch. My group and I were pretty good at our work, and the quality of it at the end of the project. As well as the 6 C's we used while working together. Two things we could've worked on would be staying more on task and our time management skills. But overall I liked filming this project and working with this new group of people.
