Physics Project

Ah yes our physics on sports project that we need to hand up on 22nd April.

Hmm .... i still dunno y i signed up for this project... ah well. It was actually given to us before the holidays like 2nd week of Feb.

So at the start we didnt know wat should be done. Because of my influencing skills ^^. We did about badminton. To be more specifically, jump smash. ^^

For the month leading up to the deadline we were just talking bout theory what can be done what should be researched bla bla bla.

We only started the practical today..... i didnt really smashed, we had no time. So we just measured the force exerted by the racquet onto the shuttle using a force meter or something of the sort.

It was quite hard to measure because the force sensor was a hook like shaped and the racquet had many gaps in between so it was a bit inaccurate. so we had to increase the surface area of the racquet.

I couldnt really hit it as hard as i could because it was MY racquet. TT

First reading....4 N . i was like wth. 2nd readin was 10 N i think.... 3rd reading dunno what happen it didnt even move. then the last reading... 40 N. woohoo the limit for the sensor was 50 N anyways.

Now we are juz finalising the details. ^^

Signing off..
