Physics of the Shot Discover the science behind every basketball shot. Physics of the Shot transforms slow-motion basketball videos into real-world measurements using projectile motion and court calibration. Simply upload a slow-motion video of a basketball shot, and the app analyzes its trajectory using real-world physics. Features • Measure launch angle, estimated velocity, peak height • Visualize the calculated shot trajectory • Calibrate using the basketball rim and court for real-world measurements • Learn key basketball physics concepts with built-in explanations and a glossary • Save analyses to revisit previous results Whether you’re a student, player, or simply curious about the physics of basketball, Physics of the Shot provides an engaging way to explore how physics describes a basketball’s flight. Physics of the Shot is designed as an educational tool. Results are estimates based on video quality, camera angle, and manual point selection.
