    Motion Running
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the biomechanics of foot motion during running, particularly on a treadmill. Key aspects include the phases of the running gait cycle, such as stance and swing phases, and how these affect foot placement and movement. The importance of analyzing foot motion for improving running efficiency and preventing injuries is highlighted. Various studies and literature on gait analysis are referenced to support the discussion. Understanding these dynamics can enhance performance and inform training techniques.

Assume you're running on a treadmill, looking down at your feet. what would describe this kind of motion?
thanks

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Average velocity as a weighted mean'

Hello everyone, Consider the problem in which a car is told to travel at 30 km/h for L kilometers and then at 60 km/h for another L kilometers. Next, you are asked to determine the average speed. My question is: although we know that the average speed in this case is the harmonic mean of the two speeds, is it also possible to state that the average speed over this 2L-kilometer stretch can be obtained as a weighted average of the two speeds? Best regards, DaTario

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?
