As an expert biomechanist, you've just been hired by Schuttto supervise a team designing a safer helmet to reduce concussions in NFL football players. The team presents you with two models which simulate a player's head hitting the inside of the helmet. During both simulations, the helmet is hit with the same external force and the model of the head is assumed to have a mass of 3.6 kg. The first simulation shows that the exterior of Helmet 1 buffers some of the force so that the player's head is moving at 5 m/s immediately after application of the external force. The inside of Helmet 1 is cushioned so that the cushion gives for .15 seconds before the head comes to rest. What is the force transferred to the player's head in the first simulation?

So, what do we know? For each simulation, we know velocities at two different time points, we know a force is being transferred to the head, we know the time of impact, and we know the mass of the head. Since we know mass and velocity at two time points, it leads us in the direction of linear momentum and, since we know the time and we're curious about the force, let's look at impulse. Impulse = Ft = ΔM = Δmv= m2v2-m1v1 For Helmet 1,Ft = m2v2-m1v1F(.15 s) = (3.6 kg)(0 m/s) -(3.6 kg)(5 m/s) F = -120 N

During a basketball throw-in, the player's triceps contract to propel her forearm into launching the ball (mball= 0.45 kg). The player's forearm has a mass of approximately 4.5 kg, the center of mass of the forearm is located 0.17m from the elbow joint center, and the distance along the forearm from the elbow joint center to the ball is approximately 0.35m (shown in diagram). As the forearm begins to rotate, the radius of gyration is .20m. Previous muscle studies in basketball shooting have indicated that, on average, the triceps act a point 0.013 m behind the elbow joint center and produce a force of 750 N. The torque of the forearm is __________ N.m.

Which term best represents energy resulting from motion?
Kinetic energy
Explain the difference between kinetic energy, potential energy, and elastic energy, and how they convert from one to another. Use equations and examples if needed.
Kinetic energy (KE) is the energy resulting from linear motion. The formula is KE = 1/2(mv^2). Potential energy (PE) is the capacity to do work due to a body's position within the gravitational field. The formula is PE = mgh. Elastic energy (SE) is the capacity to do work due to deformation of a body energy stored when a spring is stretched or compressed. The formula is SE = 1/2(k x change(x)^2)
Eddie imparts side spin on the ball to try and fool the goal keeper by striking it with the inside of his kicking (right) foot (see the figure below). Which direction the ball will move to eventually?
Left The ball spins and moves in the air. The spin is in the same direction of the air drag on the left side of the ball, making the velocity increase and air pressure decreases; whereas on the right side, the spin is in the opposite direction, causing decreased velocity and increased air pressure. As a result, the ball will eventually turn towards the left.
In an experiment on patients with Parkinson's disease, patients' gait data were collected, and joint angles over gait cycle were plotted below. a. Use the kinematics and kinetics knowledge you learned from this class, explain what are the major abnormalities in PD patients walking pattern. b. Relating to the concept of vigor and neural mechanism discussed in this course, what are the possible reasons that cause these deficits?
Looking at the chart in the PD group the cadence mean is higher than the control group. PD patients tend to have a shuffle in their gait pattern which causes their speed (velocity) to be slower, and the length of the stride to be shorter. Look at the graphs the overall power in the hip, knee, and ankle is greater in the control group than in the PD groups. Those with Parkinson's disease have a loss of dopamine in the brain, which leads to the parkinsonian symptoms such as slow gait, stooped posture, shuffling gait, instability, increased risk of falling, as well as difficulty initiating gait. Dopamine is a reward signal that determines movement vigor. Dopamine from the substantia nigra to the neostriatum regulates the likelihood of moving at a certain speed. Those with PD have a higher chance of moving slowly because of the depleted dopamine in their system causing a distortion of speed selection mechanisms. Movement speed is determined by movement energy cost. Movement energy cost is created in response to movement vigor. Therefore, dopamine from the substantia nigra carries a signal for motor motivation. In Parkinson's patients they show a reduction in reduced movement vigor. Vigor interacts with reward in human movement, which with PD patients the vigor is reduced overall in their movement.
Describe magnus effect and give an example in sport.
Magnus effect is a projectile with air drag, which is when a spinning ball is going to change its path. The ball takes a curved path. An example is in soccer the way a soccer ball can curve. For example, the Roberto Carlos goal where his kick called the soccer ball to anti-clockwise spinning ball decreases pressure on its left side causing the ball to curve in that direction. Generation of a sidewise force on a spinning cylindrical or spherical solid immersed in a fluid when there is relative motion between the spinning body and the fluid. Explains the curved path a ball can take while in the air. Occurs only if the object is spinning.
The drag force is a component of fluid resistance that always acts opposite to the motion of the person. This force is not proportional to which of the following:
Mass of the person
Explain succinctly the differences between: moment (torque) and moment of inertia. Use equations, examples and specify units if needed.
Moment (torque) is when a force is applied such that it causes a rotation, the product of that force and the perpendicular distance to its line of action. Its not a force but defined as the tendency of a force to cause a rotation about a specific axis. Its a vector quantity and thus has magnitude and direction. Torque uses the formula T = F x perpendicular Radius. a body's resistance to a change in angular motion Depends on mass and distribution of mass w.r.t. the axis of rotation If ∆T=0, then ∆ω=0, ice skater with arms in versus out
Explain the difference between momentum and impulse and their relationship. Use equations, examples, and specify units if needed.
Momentum (p) is mass times velocity (p = m x v), and the units are kg x m/s. Impulse is the force x the time interval, and the units are Ns. Impulse is the change of momentum. Creates a force-time curve, you can increase momentum by increasing the force or increase the time interval.

If a collision between two bodies results in a coefficient of restitution of 1.0, this collision can be described as:
Perfectly elastic
Explain the difference between elastic and inelastic collision using the concept of momentum. Use equations and examples if needed.
Perfectly elastic collision is the collision during which the velocity of the system is conserved. Perfectly inelastic (plastic) collision is the collision resulting in the total loss of system velocity. Momentum still conserved, but objects stick together instead of bouncing apart. Football tackles are an example. Everything we do is inelastic but not perfectly. A coefficient of restitution of 1 describes an elastic collision and a value of 0 results in a perfectly inelastic collision where each particle travels at the same speed, example golf ball is <.83, e = alive speed after collison / relative speed before collison

Use the kinetics knowledge you learned from this class, analyze the following free-body diagram of a person lifting an object, and explain what are the factors for a good lifting strategy to avoid back injury.
The diagram shows the force weight on the head, trunk, arms, and box. The free-body diagram is showing the compression reaction force, shear reaction force, and muscle tension in the L5 vertebrae. It shows how when you lift a box correctly it will help minimize the load put on the back. The best way to lift any box is to squat down with your legs and grab the box and then stand up with your legs. The factor of you squatting down and lifting your legs takes away from having the need to bend your back. You want to lift with your leg muscles, and not your back, keep the load as close to your body as you can and maintain the natural curve in your spine. This helps the force/pressure to be dissipated through the body and not just centered in the back. The bending down and picking up would put force/pressure on your spinal cord. The load on the discs is a combined result of the object weight, the upper body weight, the back muscle forces, and their respective lever arms to the disc center.
Which of the following does not affect the magnitude of static friction force before it reaches to the maximum value?
The mass of the object

Vertical, Anteroposterior, Mediolateral
Explain the law of conservation of angular momentum. Use an example in sport.
When gravity is the only external force acting on an object, the angular momentum remains constant. This is because the gravitational force acts through the center of mass of an object (point of rotation) and therefore does not produce a torque. In diving, Angular momentum (H) at the instant of takeoff remains constant throughout the dive •When the diver brings in her legs mid-air The radius of gyration (k) is decreased Local moment of inertia (I) is reduced Increasing angular velocity (𝜔) The tighter the tuck, the greater the angular velocity
During running along a straight line at a steady velocity (acceleration = 0), the average braking and propelling impulses are equal (see Figure A below). In Figure B, the person showed

Describe key factors affecting stability.
the first factor is where the line of gravity falls with respect to the base of support. An object is most stable if the line of gravity is in the geometric center of the base of support. Increasing the area of the base of support generally increases the stability, Increasing the base of support to allow the line of gravity to fall within the base of support, The stability of an object is also inversely proportional to the height of the center of mass. mass of the object increases stability as well.
