Experiment: human vertical crouch-and-jump motion:
- Measure:
- ymax with meter stick,
- y(t) using the Motion Detector or video analysis,
- ay(t) using the accelerometer (and video),
- F(t) with Force plate
- Fully label all parts of the motion, i.e., the lined-up graphs of
y(t), vy(t), ay(t), F(t) for this motion.
- Crouch down
- Push-off (un-crouching)
- Moment feet disconnect with ground
- flight up
- flight down
- Moment feet reconnect with ground
- landing
- Compute the work done during the push-off stage.
- Compute the power developed during the push-off stage.
- Compute the work done during the landing stage.
- Compute the power developed during landing.
