Modeling a Slow Baseball Pitch
Offered By: Dot Physics via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the physics behind slow baseball pitches through an in-depth analysis of two Python programs. Dive into the mechanics of modeling pitch trajectories, examining the code used in a WIRED article about striking out Major League players with super slow pitches. Gain insights into the computational methods for simulating baseball physics, including factors like air resistance and Magnus force. Learn how to create animated graphs to visualize pitch behavior and understand the underlying principles that govern the movement of a baseball through the air.
