8 sie 2024 · 08 August 2024. How expert skateboarders use physics on the half-pipe. Athletes can achieve greater speed with just the right ‘pumping’ motion, modelling shows. A skateboarder who moves their...
12 maj 2021 · People skateboarding might seem to defy gravity as they soar high above a half-pipe, but they are actually taking advantage of specific physics principles that help them reach such heights. Physicist Dr. Jonathan Trinastic explains.
14 maj 2024 · The aim was to overview the current literature and identify knowledge gaps related to competitive skateboarding performance and associated physical, technical, and tactical demands of Olympic skateboarding disciplines.
7 lis 2022 · The 10 000 m speedskating event during the 2022 winter Olympics brought a new world record at 12 min and 30.74 s. In a document released after the competitions, the gold medalist Nils van der Poel describes his technique, including a focus on horizontal forces and a rapid sideways motion in connection with stride changes on the straight ...
5 sie 2024 · We propose a simple mechanical model for this pumping motion and solve the equation of motion explicitly in angular coordinates. This allows us to derive an optimal control strategy to maximize amplitude by dynamically adjusting the center of mass of the skateboarder.
Skateboarding is an exciting activity that combines athleticism, creativity, and the principles of physics in a unique way. Each trick, whether it’s a simple ollie or a complex flip, is based...
3 lis 2014 · A field trip to a skate park to explore the law of conservation of energy and measure the impact forces can enhance student analytical thinking skills and their appreciation of physics in...
