Physics of the Shot

Analyze basketball shots using real-world physics. Measure launch angle, velocity, peak height, and more, and learn the science behind every shot.

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, and entry angle • 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.
