Question
The horizontal locations of the proximal and distal ends of a segment are shown for three time points (sampled at 60Hz) in the table below. The center of mass of the segment is located 43% of the segment length from the proximal end. What was the horizontal velocity of the segmental center of mass for frame 2? the table of info is below
Explanation / Answer
Center of mass for frame 2 = proximal end + 43 % * (distal end - proximal end)
= 1.587 + 0.43 * (1.597 - 1.587 )
= 1.5913
angular velocity = 2* pi * 60 = 377 rad/s
Horizontal Velocity = angular velocity * 1.5913
= 1.5913 * 377 units/s
= 599.9 units/s
