SUMMARY

The discussion centers on a Year 11 Physics Extended Experimental Investigation (EEI) focused on analyzing the physics behind various sports. Key concepts mentioned include the coefficient of restitution and projectile motion. Participants suggest sports such as baseball, golf, and tennis as suitable subjects for the investigation. The user seeks accessible sports that allow for basic experiments without requiring complex equipment.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic physics concepts such as coefficient of restitution
  • Familiarity with projectile motion principles
  • Knowledge of experimental design for hypothesis testing
  • Ability to analyze and discuss experimental results
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the physics of baseball, focusing on momentum and projectile motion
  • Explore the principles of golf, particularly the effects of a stationary ball
  • Investigate tennis physics, including ball dynamics and impact forces
  • Learn about designing simple experiments for high school physics projects
USEFUL FOR

High school students, physics educators, and anyone interested in applying physics concepts to sports analysis.

Yr 11 Physics EEI Help!

Hello all I would like to start be asking is this in the right area if not please tell me. Next, the problem I have is that I have been handed a physics assignment in which I need to analyse the physics behind a particular sport (not in depth to much just the basics really coefficient of restitution, projectile motion etc) for the EEI (extended experimental investigation) I need to write a hypothesis and test it through multiple experiments and then disscuse the results that were found .The problem is I don't know what sport to do! If you could post some suggestions on sports and the physics I could analyse in the sport I would be so grateful. When nominating sports please keep in mind this is for a high school student and some equipment may not be accesible to me and that the experiments do not need to be deadly accurate or complex. Thanks for reading :smile:

Physics questions generally belong in the physics section.

First sport that comes to mind is baseball. All it is, is change in momentum and projectile motion.

Also there is golf. Only that the ball remains still.

There's tennis.
 


Sorry about placing it in the wrong section. Thnx for the suggestions I tried tennis but it failed which is why I came here to ask. =P Thx though
