Physics of Sports Video
Our physics of sports video was about the 3 point shot. We decided not to do cheese rolling. Ely, Bella, Noah, and I went out on the basketball courts and filmed Ely. We compared Ely to Ray Allen, a famous basketball player. We learned that Ely shoots more vertical and Ray Allen shoots at more of a 45 degree angle. We also showed all the steps to successfully make a 3 point shot.
Force and velocity Calculations
We calculated Ray Allen's force and velocity. We found out that he puts a total of 7.1 newtons on the ball, or 1.6 lbs. He has a horizontal velocity of 5.84 m/s and a vertical velocity of 5.88 m/s . This gives him a total velocity of 8.29 m/s.
We also calculated Ely's force and velocity. He puts a total of 7.75 newtons on the ball, or 1.7 lbs. He has a horizontal velocity of 3.76 m/s and a vertical velocity of 7.84 m/s. This gives Ely a total velocity of 8.7 m/s.

Reflection
Our video came out really good. We went over all the steps and even added an interview. We struggled with time management a little bit and were working up to the last minute. Even though we rushed towards the end, we got it done and I am proud of our video. I am not good at basketball. During this project, I learned how to shoot a three pointer and all the steps to make it perfect. The best part of our project is probably the calculations, because I worked very hard on them and made sure every one was correct. Our voice overs were the worst part because they were rushed. That leads back to time management, which is the one thing we need to improve on.
