The Physics of throwing a baseball:
This informational video gives a Brief demonstration on how to throw a pitch. It also includes calculations made by my group and I. Hopefully this helped you learn if you are a new or rusty player.

Terms used in video:
1)Velocity- The speed of an object in a direction.
2)Acceleration- Acceleration is the change in velocity. Gravity accelerates any object falling downward at 9.8 m/s^2.
3)Momentum- Momentum is how much oomph an object has. It is calculated by multiplying mass and velocity.
4)Kinetic Energy- Kinetic Energy is how much energy an object has due to its motion. It is calculated by multiplying 1/2 mass and velocity squared KE=1/2mv^2.
5)Force-Force is any interaction that tends to change the motion of an object.

Reflection: Towards the beginning of my groups video making I think we were off to a great start. We had a good sport, witch was surfing at the time. We also had most of our calculations done before we even filmed. But that is as far as we got on our plan A video. Two out of our three group member could not make it to the filming spot witch was the beach. The only group member who could ran into some complications and could not obtain the footage himself. This left us back at square one again. Since we didn't have footage of surfing, we decided to switch sports. So we switched to baseball and in one day we completed all the filming we needed. For the remaining three days we edited our video very efficiently. In the end, with all the setbacks my group had to overcome. I think that we had good time management and good chemistry together. I had a fun time working on this video.
