Physics of Sports Video
For this project our group decided to focus on the Physics behind a forehand Frisbee throw. We started by deciding to base our project on the Frisbee. We then started to story board our ideas and to write our script. We wrote as much of the script as we could without having our calculations. After we finished writing our script we started our filming process. While filming we also worked on our calculations. After we finished filming we double checked our calculations and then put all of our calculations into our script. We then started recording our voice overs and putting them into our video. After we finished our video we watched it and made little changes such as rerecording voice overs that we had not recorded correctly the first time. In the end our video turned out the way that we had expected it to turn out and we all felt accomplished and proud that we had done this.
Forward Momentum: 52.16kg
Average Momentum:
p=mv
p=0.175kg(10.8m/s)
p=1.89Ns
3Ns=0.175kg(17.1m/s)= 38mph
Velocity:
d=vt
v=d/t
1.5m=v(1.165s)
v=1.287m/s
D(total): 25m= 82ft
Velocity Horizontal:
v(horiz)=d/t=25m/2.33s=10.73m/s
Velocity total:
1.287^2+10.73^2=v^2
v=10.8m/s = 24.15mph

Overall during this project we worked efficiently and our end result was well thought out. One thing that worked well was getting all of the videos that we needed to get to make our video and calculate our calculations. We all could have worked on staying on task a little more, but we successfully finished our video on time. While working on this project I learned how to edit videos using imovie. I also learned how to throw a Frisbee. Through this project I continued to achieve an earlier goal which was to execute my ideas. I helped execute my ideas by sharing and showing my group what my ideas were. I will continue to work on taking a leadership role in my project and I will also work on staying on task and completing my work more efficiently.
