A person is completing a maximal voluntary isometric contraction and the researcher needs to resist joint motion, how do you do this?
Match the angle that the isometric contraction is at
If a pinwheel rotates a full circle, its angular displacement would be
0
-does a full rotation, returns to where it started
Arc length=
Arc length (L) = THETA (angle) x radius
How does tangential velocity change according to the radius of the rotating object?
The further you are from the centre, the faster the velocity will be
So, the greater the radius, the greater the tangential velocity
Total Energy is equal to
Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy
Why does walking in heels generally hurt more than walking in normal shoes
They have less contact with the ground, lesser area when placed down
Pressure= force/ area
-so with less area, the pressure would be higher
