Over the past few days, I’ve spent time thinking of an intersection between my passions and physics. Below are some of the ideas I thought of (in no particular order).
-
Cricket: building a cricket ball or a tennis ball thrower/launcher that will enable me to practice shots and strokes without the need of a second person.
-
Cricket: analyzing the swing of a cricket ball – swing is when a cricket ball moves in the air due to an uneven surface.
-
Programming: building a simple physics engine.
-
Programming: analyzing the physics of a game or a movie.
-
Badminton: creating a birdie thrower that will allow me to practice shots.
-
Cricket + Programming: making a piece of software that analyzes the motion of a cricket ball being bowled and using physics to predict its path in certain situations (probably more of a computer science idea than a physics idea).
