Biomechanics Question. Please Help!
Hey everyone, I need help with the following question:
Vertical velocity of the hip = 2.1 m/sec
Horizontal velocity of the hip = 1.7 m/sec
Angular velocity of thigh = 4.6 rad/sec
Thigh length = 0.36 m
a) Calculate the absolute horizontal velocity of...
ok thanks...this is really frustrating me...im supposed to incorporate the laws of angular and linear momentum but don't know how. my prof says it isn't easy, so there must be a trick to it maybe...
Ok, this is true. Now what exactly could you and the partner do to create a torque to start the spinning. Remember, I need to be facing the ship when I get there and I need to be in control of my speed (preferably slowing down). Thanks :)!
thanks whozum. can you just start spinning in space tho? wouldn't you have to initiate it somehow? #3 is asking if the angular momentum is shown by the big arrow, what direction is the guy twisting and somersaulting and name 2 ways to stop the rotation. thanks again!
Well youre facing the ship, but your partner is between you and the ship, facing you. I thought if you could somehow spin with him to trade places with him it might work, but as it stands, he is in your way.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

My question is: You and your 100 kg partner are stranded in space 100m from your spaceship, you are running out of air and you have no equipment at all to help you get back. You are fine but your partner is badly injured and unable to move at all. Your...
