Assignment
Ground Reaction Forces
•
To gain practice in computing ground reaction forces.
We apply force to the ground during every step we take.
According to Newton’s 3rd law of motion
(action-reaction), the ground applies equal and opposite forces against us during those steps.
Force
platforms quantify this ground reaction force (GRF) and, more specifically, allow us to quantify three
components of the GRF:
1.
vertical direction
2.
anterior-posterior direction (forward-backward)
3.
medial-lateral direction (side-to-side)
Radin and co-workers (Radin et al., J. Ortho.
Res., 1991, 9, 398-405) identified several
biomechanical differences between a group of
individuals that experienced mild, activity-
related knee pain and a group that was
asymptomatic (i.e., no symptoms of knee pain).
One specific difference was that the knee pain
group applied the vertical GRF more quickly at
heel strike.

The “heel
-
strike transient” is identified as the initial rise of the vertical GRF to a distinct peak or a
sharp discontinuity (see point 1 on Figure 1).
How quickly that component of the GRF rises is
indicated by the slope of the heel-strike transient on Figure 1.
None
Purpose
The purpose of this lab is to compare characteristics of the vertical GRF for two conditions:
1.
walking with shoes
2.
walking without shoes (barefoot or with socks)
Procedure
One student from each pair will walk across the force platform for each condition.
Students should
walk across the force platform with a normal walking speed and gait.
Analysis

View each of the following points on each force trace.
a. Heel-strike transient force (1).
b. Impact peak (2).
c. Minimum force at mid-stance (3).
d. Active peak (4).

We highlighted two errors in the equation representing the motion of a body subjected to gravity: the difficulties of air resistance and the fact that the Earth is not a perfect sphere. Is this mathematical model free of extra inaccuracies? Do you believe that these additional variables should be incorporated into our falling body model? Explain why you feel they should or should not be included.

The flight of a model rocket can be modeled as follows. During the first 0.15 s the rocket is propelled upward by the rocket engine with a force of 16 N. The rocket then flies up while slowing down under the force of gravity. After it reaches the apex, the rocket starts to fall back down. When its downward velocity reaches 20 m/s, a parachute opens (assumed to open instantly), and the rocket continues to drop at a constant speed of 20 m/s until it hits the ground. Write a program that calculates and plots the speed and altitude of the rocket as a function of time during the flight.

Code requirements:
A robot is positioned on an integral point in a two-dimensional coordinate grid (xr, yr). There is a treasure that has been placed at a point in the same grid at (xt, yt). All x’s and y’s will be integral values. The robot can move up (North), down (South), left (West), or right (East). Commands can be given to the robot to move one position in one of the four direction. That is, “E” moves a robot one slot East (to the right) so if the robot was on position (3, 4), it would now be on (4, 4). The command N would move the robot one position north so a robot at position (4, 4) would be at (4, 5). Because the robot cannot move diagonally, the shortest distance between a robot at (xr, yr) and a treasure at (xt, yt) is | xr – xt | + | yr - yt | = ShortestPossibleDistance Write a recursive program which determines all the unique shortest possible paths from the robot to the treasure with the following stipulation: The robot may never move in the same direction more than…

standard science experiment is to drop a ball and see how high it bounces. Once the “bounciness” of the ball has been determined, the ratio gives a bounciness index.
For example, if a ball dropped from a height of 10 feet bounces 6 feet high, the index is 0.6, and the total distance traveled by the ball is 16 feet after one bounce. If the ball were to continue bouncing, the distance after two bounces would be 10 ft + 6 ft +6 ft + 3.6 ft = 25.6 ft. Note that the distance traveled for each successive bounce is the distance to the floor plus 0.6 of that distance as the ball comes back up.
Write a program that lets the user enter the initial height from which the ball is dropped, the bounciness index, and the number of times the ball is allowed to continue bouncing. Output should be the total distance traveled by the ball.

connected to the circuit shown. The switch is first connected
to B and the capacitor is charged. Then, the switch is
connected to A and the capacitor discharges through the
