An example of linear motion is an athlete running a 100-meter dash along a straight track. [2] Linear motion is the most basic of all motion. According to Newton's first law of motion, objects that do not experience any net force will continue to move in a straight line with a constant velocity until they are subjected to a net force.
Displacement is the shift in location when an object in motion changes from one position to another. [2] For motion over a given interval of time, the displacement divided by the length of the time interval defines the average velocity (a vector), whose magnitude is the average speed (a scalar quantity).
The theory underlying the determinants run contrary to that of the 'inverted pendulum' theory with a static stance leg acting as a pendulum that prescribes an arc. [33] [34] [35] The six determinants of gaits and their effects on COM displacement and energy conservation are described below in chronological order:
Running can assist people in losing weight, staying in shape and improving body composition. Research suggests that the person of average weight will burn approximately 100 calories per mile run. [61] Running increases one's metabolism, even after running; one will continue to burn an increased level of calories for a short time after the run. [62]
Mathematically Force is directly proportional to the negative of displacement. Negative sign signifies the restoring nature of the force. (e.g., that of a pendulum). Linear motion – motion that follows a straight linear path, and whose displacement is exactly the same as its trajectory. [Also known as rectilinear motion] Reciprocal motion
Examples of circular motion include: special satellite orbits around the Earth (circular orbits), a ceiling fan's blades rotating around a hub, a stone that is tied to a rope and is being swung in circles, a car turning through a curve in a race track, an electron moving perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field, and a gear turning inside a ...
Benefits of running: Can improve cardiorespiratory fitness, which can reduce risk for heart disease, improve cholesterol and blood pressure levels, quality of life, and physical and cognitive function
A displacement consists of the combination of a rotation and a translation. The set of all displacements of M relative to F is called the configuration space of M. A smooth curve from one position to another in this configuration space is a continuous set of displacements, called the motion of M relative to F.
