The+Physics+of+Golf

On February 28th, we went to the Driving Range to investigate the physics of golf.

Before we left, we made a list of forces and motions that effect how golfers hit the ball. Here is our list: BALANCE of the golfer GRAVITY pulling the ball ACCELERATION of the club AIR RESISTANCE of the ball in the air FRICTION of the ball hitting the ground PROPULSION of the club hitting the ball

At the range, we focused on trying to improve.

After we got back, we sat down and talked about all of the forces and motion and made a poster. [|Golf_Physics_Poster.001.jpg]

Finally, we wrote a conversation between a golf teacher and student. We used forces and motion to explain how the student should improve their swing.
