What are topic was?
This year, my physics of sports video group, Ryan Miller and Sophia Moreno, made a video of the physics of hitting a baseball. We went out to the baseball field, and took videos of myself hitting a baseball. We took those videos and put it in our video and broke it down to fined the physics of my swing. In the end. I feel that I did fairly well on the video, and couldn’t have asked for a better group. We used voiceovers to talk during the action parts in our film. For me, I did the action parts and explaining the swing in the video. Ryan did the physics part of the project, and Sophia did the video taking and editing. Mr.Williams also played our first draft of our video on front of the class and we got some feedback to better our video. It really helped our group come up with some good ideas and in the end, we got a better final result.
Important Physics

It is important to find the right physics of the swing. We used force of the swing and multiple velocities such as
vertical velocity
horizontal velocity
total velocity
It is important to also get momentum and impulse to help you do the math part of the physics. I think the most important physics part of it was the total velocity. If you add the two other velocities you can find the total velocity, but you have to make sure that the two other velocities are correct.

What we did?
To start we had to figure out what we were going to do and how we were going to do it. Our original idea was to knock a hat off someone’s head. We then decided the next day to do baseball instead. Then we had to do a storyboard of what our video would look like, and the do everything. We then ent out and I hit the baseballs and we got the film, and then that’s when we started our video editing. I personally think we organized everything very well and that my group and I did a great job.
Reflection
For this project I felt that it was kind of fun. I enjoyed doing the project because it was about my favorite sport and my group was very good. I feel that for our video we did a pretty good job and I am glad that we did what we did. I would definitely want to do this again and I feel that I would do it better knowing what I learned by the failures we have had. The easy part for me was hitting the baseballs. The hardest part for me was the physics and the editing of the video. I learned that video editing isn’t that hard once you get them hang of it. Same thing with the physics. I really enjoyed the group I had and look forward to the next project.
