Meat plant

A

Cold environment

Maintains quality of meat

50
Q

Sports biomechanics

A

Performance enhancement

Ex. Running shoes, gear, ski boots, speedo

51
Q

Vector Composition

A

Process of determining a single vector from two or more vectors by vector addition.

52
Q

Resultant vector

A

Uses tail to tip method

–> + ^ = ->

53
Q

Trig functions

A

Pythagorean theorem

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

Sin=opp/hyp
Cos=adj/hyp
Tan=opp/adj

54
Q

Law of sines

A

A/sin(a) = B/sin(b) = C/sin(y)

55
Q

Law of cosines

A

A^2= B^2 + C^2 - 2(B)(C)cos(a)

B^2 = A^2 + C^2 - 2(A)(C)cos(b)

C^2 = A^2 + B^2-2(A)(B)cos(y)

56
Q

Basic Distance Formula

A

using x and y coordinates (2,4) (5,7) answer is x or y - xx = A y of x - y of y = B
C = pathogoreon theorem

57
Q

force equals

A

mass x acceleration
