While watching sports scenes you must have felt that your knowledge of physics is just not enough to understand all aspects of it. In this course, you will learn which additional forces are at play in different sports and why a curve ball curves? or why a ping pong ball dunks? You will also understand the use of energy and power in basketball, cycling, and other sports. Science has been illuminating sports for decades and will play an even more significant role in high-speed competitive sports of the future. This course will offer you a whole new way of viewing and understanding the sports you love. Group projects will help in exploring these topics further and at a deeper level. *HYBRID Course - Please see syllabus for schedule details
