Physics of Sports Video
Explanation:
For our project, we decided to do a Physics of sports on pitching in baseball. We had a good group but had many things getting in our way. From computer issues to storage issues to money issues, we had to get over some big jumps. But we still did complete what our goal was; make the best video we could. The group I was in had great ideas before we came up with baseball. We had golfing, basketball, hitting a baseball, and other great ideas but we went with this one.
Calculations:
For our calculations we did very simple ones. For our first calculation we did the weight on my back foot. this was 520.4 N. Next we did the calculation of the ball hitting the glove. This was 3.2 N/S. Then we did all our calculations for the velocity. These included the horizontal, vertical, and total velocity. The horizontal velocity was 22.17 m/s. Our vertical velocity was 8.3545 m/s. For our full velocity, we calculated that it was 23.61 m/s.
Summary:
To sum this whole project up, we tried our hardest to show the steps to improving your fastball pitch. For this we filmed at the San Marin Baseball Field. Sadly the good field was covered by a tarp. Because of that we moved up and filmed for several days and our final product was actually very satisfying. Hopefully we get the grade we worked hard for! (insert wink face here) We had some peaks of our project and some pits that we had to get out of. We had one of our worst times getting the videos and making the power-point.
The first part was taking our video. Our group could never got the perfect shot that we needed. We tried doing regular video and then we found the amazing technology of Slo-pro. After most of the videos we tried getting them on the computer and found out that they couldn't be imported unless they were in the camera roll. So I had to buy an I-tunes card to buy the pro version for it. We finally got it and imported them. That was one of our high points. Then we got our videos onto the movie. This led us into our next hole. We tried to put some transitions in and my computer froze. I tried many tings to get it back but it froze. Nobody could do anything so we had to hope for it to save. It didn't. We had to start from the beginning and do the best we could. After we got it good then we made our amazing video.
