Gymnastics is a competitive sport that requires high physical endurance to do many flips, tricks and routines that seem hard and impossible but are simple, under the law of physics. Gymnastics uses many of the basic principles of physics including all of Newton's laws, torque and angular momentum. In this paper you will see how angular momentum and torque are vital when it comes to twirls, how Newton's laws, which are about acceleration, force and motion, are behind the flips and jumps that a gymnast undertakes and how while the gymnast is in the air the only force acting on her body is gravity.
This project is cool because i would of never thought that physics can apply to something like gymnastics.
ReplyDeleteI never knew how much went into a sport like gymnastics and how physics would apply to it. This makes me so much more interested in it!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nikita for your insight on the physics in gymnastics. The many ways of the physics laws in the sport creates an understanding fro me now.
ReplyDeleteNice abstract. Physics in gymnastics has never seemed so interesting before!
