This article deals with some of the basic Biomechanics involved with a Table Tennis Stroke. It breaks down the stroke into three components. 1. Backswing 2. Contact with ball 3. Follow-through The Role of the Backswing Key elements for timing and power production. the back-swing plays the primary role within all stroke techniques. It sets the stage for power production as well as provides the key element in establishing the proper timing of the stroke. Basic Biomechanical Principals Involved

cleared of snow‚ the friction between the ground and the skis brings our hero to a halt at point D‚ located at a distance d = 12 m from point C. The descent can be considered frictionless. Take the potential energy to be zero at the bottom of the slope. (a) What is the mechanical energy of James Bond at points A and D? (b) Determine the speed of Bond at position B abd C. (c) What is the work done by friction in the parking lot? (d) Find the magnitude of the average friction force. SOLUTION : (a)

a critical depth of penetration. Some sensitivity analyses have been performed to evaluate the effect of soil‚ pile and hammer properties on the level of vibrations. The results show that increase in pile diameter‚ hammer impact force‚ soil–pile friction and reduction in soil elastic modulus can increase the peak particle velocity.

Part B Now‚ suppose that Zak’s younger cousin‚ Greta‚ sees him sliding and takes off her shoes so that she can slide as well (assume her socks have the same coefficient of kinetic friction as Zak’s). Instead of getting a running start‚ she asks Zak to give her a push. So‚ Zak pushes her with a force of 125 \rm N over a distance of 1.00 \rm m. If her mass is 20.0 \rm kg‚ what distance d_2 does she slide after Zak’s push ends? Remember that the frictional force acts on Greta during Zak’s push and

a 40 teeth gear set. To start the experiment‚ the effort pulley and the load drum were loaded with appropriate weights and wound. After the weights were loaded‚ a small downward pull was given to the effort hanger in order to overcome the static friction. It was advised that this manual downward pull should be given by the same person and the force should be the same throughout the whole experiment since it could affect the experiment results adversely if done otherwise. And it was also advised that

Prac Report Problem: How does the increase mass affect acceleration and the force of the accelerating object? Purpose: The purpose of the practical is to find how mass affects acceleration and how it affects also the force of the accelerating body. To do this we are going to do the ticker tape experiment where an accelerating body pulls a tape through a consistent 50 dot per second ticker timer. The acceleration body in this experiment will be a small trolley pulled by a string that is pulled

experience an upward force called air resistance (drag). RAF parachutist Objects with large surface areas‚ such as parachutes or shuttlecocks fall more slowly because they experience more air resistance. Frictional forces such as air resistance‚ friction and drag act against the direction of motion‚ so tend to slow the object down. This fact is put to good use in the design of the parachute and shuttlecock. The size of frictional forces can be reduced bystreamlining the object or lubricating any
