Phyics of Golf Project
-What is this Project About?
For this project, my group (Scottie, Toby, and Jonathan) and I worked together to find the physics of golfing. In the video below, we explain the different types of physics involved with just golf and how they work.

*Momentum: The force or strength that something has when it's moving, such as a 5-iron club
*Force: A push or pull on an object that was caused by the push or pull of another object, just as the force applied to the golf ball by the golf club
*Impulse: The act of applying force suddenly, such as the amount of force was applied to the golf ball in a sort amount of time
*Horizontal Velocity: The rate of change of position of an object in a left to right or right to left direction, such as the golf ball, in this case, traveling from right to left
*Vertical Velocity: The rate of change of position of an object in a up to down or down to up direction, such as the golf ball traveling up and then going down to the ground

-Reflection:
As I look back at the making of this project, that I worked on with my team Toby, Scottie, and Jonathan, we all worked together really hard to finish this project. I enjoyed making it with them, wether it's talking about the physics used in slide by slide or watching physics in action when the 5-iron club hits the golf ball. I did well at helping my team getting the equations done for the Momentum, Force, and the Impulse of the club as my team did well at helping me when I needed help. When I created this video with my group, I was nervous about making this video for others to watch from being shy of a huge crowd and I still am. Although I still feel that way now, this sport video project made me realize that I love entertaining others and still explaining the physics of golf, which made me feel stronger about myself.
I thought I did well on my project, but I had some challenges along the way. For example, when my team did the golf field shot one weekend, I wasn't able to go with them that weekend because I had a busy schedule. This made me realize that I need to work on my time management when it comes to working with my team. This is something I need to be prepared for my future teams on future projects.
