Average Acceleration = Change in Velocity divided by a Change in Time
Now are we talking:
Linear or Angular Motion
The formulas vary slightly for both
Theta = Arc Length divided by the radius
Omega = Average Angular Velocity equals a change in theta divided by a change in time
Alpha = Average Angular Acceleration equals a change in omega divided by a change in time
Arc Acceleration = alpha times the radius
Centripetal acceleration = Omega squared times the radius
Centripetal Force = Mass times Omega Squared times the Radius
Centrifugal Force = Newtons 3rd Law to Centrifugal Force
Documented Source: "Biomechanics of Sport and Exercise" 2nd editon, Peter Mc Ginnis, Quick reference equations, p.1.
Why weren't these formulas used in the Yellow Book? Bibliography? Documented Sources/ Footnotes?
That's Ok.....I believe Homer anyway....28 years of work very impressive...but I work for a University...If I submitted that wonderful piece of work...the Dissertation Committee would have told me nice try and re-tee!!!
Those equations look mighty fine although strange to my eye. I have never seen them written out in English. I am so used to the Greek letters / mathematical forms, I had to re-read these several times to understand.
