A slower peak angular velocity during turning while walking could help in tracking motor progression in the prediagnostic ...

For the angular velocity, the radius changes as well as the component of the velocity that is going perpendicular to this radius (that part that is like it is moving in a circle). For the moment of ...

If the angular velocity of a link in a mechanism is zero, does this imply that the angular acceleration of that link is also zero? The short answer to that question is NO. If ω(t) represents the ...

Introduction You might have seen figure skaters spinning around quickly and then tucking their arms to spin faster—or opening them to spin more slowly. This happens, thanks to a physics concept known ...

Suppose you have a cylinder on an ramp and you let it start rolling down. What will be its acceleration? Great question, right? I like this because it brings in many different concepts in introductory ...

Researchers at the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have developed a wearable sensor system capable of estimating ...

Diving has gotten a lot of strange attention this year, thanks to a lack of filtration chemicals that caused the water to turn from a pristine blue to a worrisome green, which Olympic officials are ...

Given a particle in Euclidean space, a central force is a force that points toward or away from the origin and depends only on the particle’s distance from the origin. If the particle’s position at ...
