Relationships between linear and angular （线性和角度之间的关系）.pdfVIP

Relationships between linear and angular motion • Body segment rotations combine to produce linear motion of the whole body or of a specific point on a body segment or implement – Joint rotations create forces on the pedals. – Forces on pedals rotate crank which rotates gears which rotate wheels. – Rotation of wheels result in linear motion of the bicyclist and his bike. Examples • Running – Coordinate joint rotations to create translation of the entire body. • Softball pitch – Rotate body to achieve desired linear velocity of the ball at release. • Golf – Rotate body to rotate club to strike the ball for intended distance and accuracy. • Example specific to your interests: • Key concept: – the motion of any point on a rotating body (e.g., a bicycle wheel) can be described in linear terms • Key information: – axis of rotation – radius of rotation: distance from axis to point of interest s u i d axis a r • Linear and angular displacement d = θ x r ***WARNING*** θ must be expressed in the units of radians for this expression to be valid NOTE: radians are expressed by a “unit-less” unit. That is, the units of radians seem to be invisible in each of the equations which related linear and angular motion. Example • Bicycle odometers measure linear distance traveled per wheel rotation for a point on the outer edge of the tire…
