Engineering Redesign: Physics of Barrel Racing
Click below to watch our video.
The main equations we used:
f=ma (how to find force)
Mv=Ft (how to find momentum
🔺D/🔺t=v (how to find velocity)
Mv=Ft (how to find momentum
🔺D/🔺t=v (how to find velocity)

Reflection
For our do it better project, my group chose the physics of sports video and decided on barrel racing. It took us a while to finally get going, as we had a lot of ideas. We filmed Kelsea riding her horse Doc on the barrel racing arena at Morningstar Farms. This was a really fun project to do, brcause we made a cool video and got to hang out with horses. A peak was how well our group worked together, and we accomplished a lot. We had great communication and all had somethung valuable to add to the group. Another peak was our organization. We started off with a document where we put all of our content and calculations, and this made it really easy to plan put our video and check our calculations. A challenge in this project was our data. We kept getting the wrong times and distances because we couldn't really walk to Morningstar and check. We had to gather our data from the video, which was hard. This made it so we had to redo our equations many times until we got them right. This created another challenge- time. Because it was the last project we didn't really have that much time to do it, so we didn't get to editing until the last few days. Our movie program kept messing up our audio, so on presentation day i had to add everything back in and our music played the same phrase over and over again, and everhone noticed! Overall, our project coild have been better, but it was still pretty great.
