Hit that ball - the experiments

  • Here you find everything the students did for the physics-experiments. The students followed the following task:

    In this part of the project you do an experiment about basketball or volleyball. In your international team you have to do a similar experiment. Everybody films and makes measurements. All results (photos, videos, measurements, …) come on a common document and afterwards a tutorial-video will be made.

    Every international group consists of 3 sub-groups: 4 Belgian students, 2 or 3 French students and 4 or 5 Italian students

    These are the conditions with which the experiment is to comply:

    • The experiment has to do with volleyball or basketball. Make sure that you can change some parameters during your experiment.
    • During the experiment you have to analyse the trajectory, velocity and acceleration of the ball.
    • You need to film the throw and then analyse it with Tracker.
    • You have to become several charts and equations:
    • Discussion of the charts and equations - making conclusions

    For this we will work in a circular way: videos will be past to students of another country they will analyse them and then send the analysis to the students of the third country who will make the conclusions.
