Many of our favorite sports and pastimes involve throwing, kicking, hitting, or otherwise dealing with some form of projectile. The variety of shapes, sizes, materials and features provides designers with both challenges and opportunities as they strive to optimize athletic performance.
But, have you taken the time to consider the engineering aspects of these sports projectiles? This course is an interesting and real-life look at fluid dynamics and aerodynamic principles and how those concepts apply to the world of sports.
You’ll learn how the design of these projectiles has evolved over time and in response to demands of the various activities. Plus, you’ll see how athletes utilize the underlying scientific principles to try to gain advantages over their opponents.
You’ll find this course is a unique view of how the engineering world has partnered with the sporting world; and you’ll find yourself fascinated with the science of sport. This course is a recording of a live webinar.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain basic principles of physics and aerodynamics that govern sports projectiles.
- Describe how various projectiles are designed for the requirements of their respective activities.
- Calculate lift and drag forces acting on a projectile.
- Explain the Magnus effect and its application to various sports.
- Describe how athletes use aerodynamic principles to control projectile flight paths.
- Identify material and design features of various sports projectiles.
- Explain evaluation techniques used by sports authorities.
