Linear Kinematics
With your data imported into Excel, you are now ready to
compute linear kinematics. What follows is the general sequence of what you will do. Each
step is linked to a detailed procedure.
- Create a new worksheet and copy
data to it.
- Compute the midpoints of
your two segments.
- Compute the velocities
of the midpoints of your two segments.
- Backup your files to all team member's Zip disks.
What is due at beginning of next class period (30 points
total):
 |
Zip disk with two Excel files
containing two worksheets each:
 |
Imported (unmodified) data (2 * 5
= 10 points) |
|
Linear Kinematics with:
 |
Midpoint (x, y) coordinates of
proximal segment (2 * 2.5 = 5 points) |
|
Midpoint (x, y) coordinates of
distal segment (2 * 2.5 = 5 points) |
|
Velocity (x, y) of proximal
segment midpoint (2 * 2.5 = 5 points) |
|
Velocity (x, y) of distal segment
midpoint (2 * 2.5 = 5 points) |
