Physics of a
Evidence of Work
During the process of creating this video video I learned a lot about physics and how it relates to real-life situations like sports. I learned a lot about physics of many different groups ,but I mainly learned about the physics behind the sport that my group and I worked on, the physics of a 3-point shot in basketball. This all started with my decision to join the group that was looking at the physics of a 3-pointer. I joined this group because I have a huge interest in basketball and the physics behind it and I and I trusted that my group members would do their part.
Our next step was to map out what we would do ,so we created a storyboard including some of the crucial shots we would include in the video such as, a shot of the shooter with the hoop in frame, a foot shot, a shot of just the shooter from foot to head, a chest up shot, a front facing shot, a shot of the shooters arms, and a few shots of pros and visuals. From there, we gathered our calculations such as the mass of the ball being .623 kilograms, the shooter being 6.02 meters from the hoop, the optimal angle for a 3-pointer being 45 degrees, and that many of the calculations will change depending on the shooter's height which in this case was 1.78 meters.
After getting all the calculations and shot plan together we took all the shots from all the different angles and put them into movie maker on Lucy's phone. From there we created a script for our voiceover that would be played throughout the whole video and would feature myself, Lucy, Kyle and Jack. After that, we added a few details such as music and subtitles to make our video that much better.
Reflection
Throughout the process of creating the physics of sports video and learned many things about myself as well as physics and think that many good things can come with reflecting on the work you have complete. I thought my group and I did very well and got done what we needed to get done ,but I felt that at times we didn't take advantage of extra time we had to make our video as good as it could be ,but I thought that the work we did was very effective. While completing this video I learned a lot. I learned to be as productive as possible in the time that I was given and to work well with people that I have all types of relations with. I wish I would have done a better job filming because there were some shots that were shaky and or poorly timed. I will also try to improve on asserting myself and putting more effort into making my ideas reality. I thought a peak was when we were all doing the voiceovers because everyone was involved and doing their part and the editing process was a pit because Lucy and Kyle were the only ones that were able to edit.
Concepts
Velocity Vertical- The velocity vertical is the speed of the vertical movement calculated by multiplying acceleration due to gravity and time. In association to a 3-point shot the velocity vertical is acceleration of the ball going up and down.
Velocity Horizontal- The velocity horizontal is the speed of the horizontal movement and is calculated by dividing the change in distance and change in time. This relates to a three pointer because the horizontal velocity affects the speed at which the shot is being fired at which can be the difference between a miss and a make.
Force of Impact- Force can is the push or pull on an object and can be calculated by multiplying mass by velocity. It can be seen in a three pointer when the ball hits the ground and when it hits the backboard.
Acceleration- Acceleration is the increase of speed and can be found by dividing the change in velocity by change in time. Acceleration is shown in a 3-point shot after the ball is shot as it accelerates through the air.
Total Velocity- Total velocity is how fast an object is moving both vertically an horizontally. It is found by getting the square root of velocity horizontal squared and velocity vertical squared. In a 3-pointer it takes both the vertical and horizontal velocity into account which can affect the outcome of the shot.
Momentum- Momentum is known as an objects tendency to stay in motion and is calculated by multiplying mass by velocity. In association to a 3-point shot, momentum affects the ball and how it stays in the air.
Impulse- Impulse is an objects change in motion. Impulse is calculated by multiplying force by time and is seen in basketball when the ball is shot.
