Document Summary
What is the relationship w other concepts. Impulse delivered to an object is equal to a change in momentum on an object. Centre of gravity: point where all mass is shrunk to an infinitely small point sum of all torques of segmental weights is equal to zero above around belly button balance point. Each segment has a centre of mass, when combined the segments have one singular. Cadaver chop into pieces, find balance points. One of many to try and find how objects spin. Immersion: take a segment plunge into water find a total volume composed. Each segment has one, one overall centre of gravity. Measured amount of force applied lying on the scale. You can measure from rf1 to rf2, only unknown is the centre of gravity. Based on percentage of whole body weight. 42 % of overall body weight is in trunk. Athletics/ sports with marathon runners matters what they"re doing with segments.
