Living Physics Portal: 2D Biomechanics - Exercises with math component

Abstract: These exercise sheets, for homework or quizzes, are part of the Biomechanics 2D Motion with 2D Forces sub-module, which builds on activities in the Biomechanics 1D submodules. In both of these submodules, students model and analyze complex real human motion as a sequence of simple motion and force segments, with the whole person modeled as a point object, typically at the center of mass. These exercise sheets probe students' qualitative and quantitative understanding of 2D forces and motion in the context of a human physical activity
