References/recommended reading: See the reading suggestions in the assignment brief below. You will also find it useful to review general A-level texts available from the Adsetts Learning Centre on Engineering or Physics. Reliable website sources can be of use as well. Please ensure that all sources of information used are referenced.

The consultancy company have been approached by a local amateur sports club wishing to gain scientific insight and predictions into the flight / path of objects in their sports for athletes to gain a better understanding of their sports. Your line manager has tasked you with producing a technical written report for the sports club into one of the following sports: • Football throw in for maximum distance (from moment of launch to landing) • Javelin throw (from moment of launch to landing) · Basketball penalty shot (from moment of shot to entering the hoop) 1 • Discus throw (from moment of launch to landing) • Cricket fielding throw for maximum distance (from moment of launch to landing) Baseball hit (from moment of shot to landing) You are to choose ONLY ONE sport from the above list as the basis of your technical report. You will initially need to identify, with reason/reference, for your chosen sport, typical initial conditions such as launch position, launch velocity and launch angle. Also any requirements or aims for the landing position of the object. Your line manager has asked you to include in the report an analysis of the motion of the object based on the two-dimensional kinematic equations of motion. Calculations should only include gravitational acceleration effects. The calculations should neglect effects of drag, friction and other external forces. Key aspects for the calculations will include: • The position and velocity of the object after exactly 0.75 seconds from launch. • Time it takes for the object to reach maximum height. • Maximum height of the object. • Velocity of the object at maximum height. • Total time it takes from launch to target. • Range of the flight from launch to target. The analysis should make a recommendation, based on the above calculations, of the initial launch conditions to improve an athlete's performance in the sport. A detailed discussion should then be given, based on your research, about the other important factors that may affect the flight of the object and how this relates to the sport chosen. 1 rather than trying to achieve maximum distance a basketball penalty shot has a target, as such the starting point is different to the other sports, a velocity must be calculated for the initial launch - see learning video guide in the Assessment section of the Blackboard site if choosing basketball. Fundamental Engineering Principles 55-301750 Assignment 2023/24 Sheffield Hallam University Knowledge Applied The report should be between 1500 and 1600 words² plus should follow the below structure: • Title / author • • ●• • An executive summary / abstract A succinct introduction to the sport stating the relevant parameters, aims of the sport and aims of the report. Calculations: ○ All calculations with associated diagrams/charts/equations to illustrate and explain your conclusions. о Justification of choices made. A discussion (no calculations needed), from your research, of further factors (e.g. will drag or spin affect the flight?) that would affect the calculations you have made. How may drag or spin (if present) change the outcome of the calculations you have provided? What conclusions can you draw from your discussion about possible changes to the calculations made and/or the initial launch choices made? A brief conclusion containing the main finding or your calculations and reflection on if further changes to the calculation are required to improve the accuracy of the calculations. Do: • • Read the provided referenced sources. Research and reference your own sources (a minimum of four of your own references). Make sure to indicate in your report where you have used information from a reference source. • Read the Assessment Criteria grid on the last page. • Further help is available regarding formatting report on the module blackboard site and the Skills Centre. Timetabled drop-in classes can be used to gain formative feedback on your progress. Resources • Book Chapters on kinematics ○ Harris & Benson (1995). Chapter 4: Inertia and Two-Dimensional Motion.
