Physics of Sports Video
Description
In the few weeks we had to create a video, we learned about the sport. The purpose of making the video and getting all the information needed to create it, we had to experience it ourselves. My group did a video about how to spike a volleyball. We showed to position and the follow through to the complete format. We had filmed in the gym of a few spikes. Then we got a few videos from a group member, filmed by her volleyball teammates. We then created our script and recorded it in a quiet place. We finished with editing and adding a song. The project was fun in some ways, but not as challenging as I thought it would be.
Reflection
Since we only had a few weeks to make the video, I didn't really get to know my group members very well. We got things done and finished, and I think that's all that matters. A life lesson I learned was that I need to be flexible with both people I don't like and people I don't know. But overall, I think my team succeeded in making a video. We included numbers in clear voices and on the screen. We had slow motion spikes and lots of content.
Concepts
Velocity- Velocity is how far an object travels in a given amount of time. When the ball is flying toward the ground, it has a certain velocity.
Acceleration- Acceleration is the rate of change in an object's motion. When the drawstring is released, the arrow accelerates. The ball is tossed up, then spiked down.
Impulse- Impulse is how much force there is in a collision between two objects. It is calculated by multiplying mass and velocity and then dividing those by time. When the arrow hit the target, there is a certain impulse.
Momentum- Momentum is how much energy an object carries with it. As the ball moves towards the ground, it has momentum.
Kinetic Energy- Kinetic energy is how much energy an object has due to motion. The ball has kinetic energy while flying towards the ground.
Potential energy- Potential energy is the energy of an object in a certain position. When the ball is tossed up and stops for a split second in mid-air, the ball had potential energy.
