In our video, we were finding the physics behind the sport of gymnastics.
Specifically giants. Giants are a swinging move in which the gymnasts go around
the bar. This is often used to gain momentum before dismounting.
For this project, we filmed, wrote the script, edited, and posted the video. This
took us a total of four weeks. We began the project by choosing a sport and
making our script. We also had to do the math early on in the process. We spread
the filming and editing over two weeks.

REFLECTION OF THE PROJECT
I enjoyed working on this project. I greatly enjoyed being able to be a narrator and an editor. I had never used iMovie before so it was a great experience. Our group worked very well together. There were no problems. We were very good at delegating tasks. I worked very quickly in the script and was able to get it done correctly. I learned how to correctly use iMovie with the help of my teammate, Richard York. I was very unfamiliar with the program so I needed to learn it quickly.
Something's that were challenging for me were filming without laughing and editing the videos correctly. I can improve this by working on iMovie and learning the program better. I can only hope that my laughing will not happen during crucial moments anymore. To improve our movie, I would make the transitions smoother and make sure that the sound quality was better.
Our group should also make some improvements. Before we start filming, we should double... even triple check our math. We did not do this and that caused some of our clips to be incorrect. We had to refill these and it set us back a little bit, time wise. Over all, our group did great! I would like to thank my group, Griffin Leland, Richard York, and Robert Schinske for being so awesome!!!

CONCEPTS USED
VELOCITY:
Griffin's velocity was 4.6 m/s^2. Velocity is speed with direction. We calculated this by finding the circumference and dividing it by the time.
ACCELERATION:
We did not calculate acceleration. Acceleration is the change in the speed of something.
PROJECTILE MOTION:
We did not calculate projectile motion.
FRICTION:
The gymnasts put chalk on their hands to minimize friction.
MOMENTUM:
Momentum is the mass of the object multiplied by the velocity. Griffin's momentum was 230kgm/s.
CENTRIPETAL FORCE:
Centripetal force is the mass times the velocity squared over the radius of the circle path. Griffin a centripetal force was 550N.
PE & KE:
PE is the mass times the gravity times the height. The PE of the top was 1249J. The PE of the bottom was 1185.5 J. The KE of the top was 529J. The KE of the bottom was also 529J.
