Physics of Sports: Barrel Racing
Concepts:
Velocity: Velocity is the speed that an object is going in a given direction. If an object is moving at 3 m/s, that means that for every second that passes, that object moves 3 meters in a given direction.
Acceleration: Acceleration is the change in velocity forwards or backwards over time. If an object has an acceleration of 2 m/s, then that objects velocity is increasing by 2 meters every second.
Momentum: Momentum is the force that an object is exerting as it is moving at a certain velocity. This factor mainly has to do with this objects mass. An object has a large mass, it will exert more force on something than if it had less mass.
Reflection: I think my group cooperated nicely in this project. We need to work a little bit on planning because we ended up having to redo shots over and over again simply because we did not plan them out well enough. One of the new skills that me and my group members gained was audio editing. What challenged me was getting the right light on the shots. It was always either too bright or too dark. I think that if i had the chance to do it all again I would only work on planning, otherwise this project was a wonderful experience.
