Sports biomechanics
Performance enhancement Ex. Running shoes, gear, ski boots, speedo
51
Vector Composition
Process of determining a single vector from two or more vectors by vector addition.
52
Resultant vector
Uses tail to tip method --> + ^ = ->
53
Trig functions
Pythagorean theorem A^2 + B^2 = C^2 Sin=opp/hyp Cos=adj/hyp Tan=opp/adj
54
Law of sines
A/sin(a) = B/sin(b) = C/sin(y)
55
Law of cosines
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
Basic Distance Formula
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
force equals
mass x acceleration
