What is acceleration?Before you can understand accelerometers, you really need to understand acceleration—so let's have a quick recap. If you have a car that accelerates from a standstill to a speed (or, stric
How to Determine the Motion of a Charged Particle Between Parallel Plates Step 1: Determine the direction of the particles' acceleration. Step 2: Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the particle with the equation a=VQdm. Step 3: Describe the motion in terms of the...
The ascending axons project into the terminal abdominal ganglion and form a map, representing the direction of the air flow around the cerci. Four of the interneurons (R10-2a, R10-3a, L10-2a and L10-3a) arising from the cricket's terminal abdominal ganglion seem to encode the direction of...
An important part of measuring and describing speed is the direction of motion. After calculating speed, which is called a scalar quantity, we then ask where the object was traveling with that speed: north, south, up, away, etc. When we add direction to the quantity of speed it becomes v...
Determine the G-forces on the object by dividing its average acceleration by the acceleration due to gravity: 32 ft/s². A car accelerating at 37.2 ft/s² experiences 37.2 / 32 = 1.16 G's. TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)
Kerstin is a researcher in sports psychology and wants to investigate potential strategies strikers and goalkeepers use during penalty shootouts in football (Wood & Wilson,2010; Timmis, Turner, & Van Paridon,2014). She envisions using the eye tracker to determine, for example, whether the stri...
The mode participation factor (MPF) is used to determine which modes and natural frequencies are the most important for your design. The mode shape {Φi}, mass matrix M, and excitation direction vector D are related by Equation 31solving for MPF. The square of the participation factor is th...
Finally, Mass is equal to “Density Times Volume”. The variable “m” here is the symbol defined as the mass. Mass is a measure of how much inertia an object shows. Great, now you are aware of some of the definitions of data required to move forward on How to Determine the motor ...
There've been times—usually when we're halfway through relocating a snowbank with our hands—that we've declared that we'd pay $500 for a snow shovel. The better solution is to throw one in your car before you leave, along with a bag of salt and a tow strap. ...
For proper operation, drones usually use accelerometers to determine the direction of gravity. In a new study published in Nature on October 19, 2022, a team of scientists from Delft University of Technology, the CNRS and ...
