  2. Equations for a falling body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_for_a_falling_body

    The first equation shows that, after one second, an object will have fallen a distance of 1/2 × 9.8 × 1 2 = 4.9 m. After two seconds it will have fallen 1/2 × 9.8 × 2 2 = 19.6 m; and so on. On the other hand, the penultimate equation becomes grossly inaccurate at great distances. If an object fell 10 000 m to Earth, then the results of both ...

  3. Nerve conduction velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_conduction_velocity

    Saltatory conduction. In neuroscience, nerve conduction velocity (CV) is the speed at which an electrochemical impulse propagates down a neural pathway. Conduction velocities are affected by a wide array of factors, which include age, sex, and various medical conditions. Studies allow for better diagnoses of various neuropathies, especially ...

  4. Free fall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_fall

    Free fall. In classical mechanics, free fall is any motion of a body where gravity is the only force acting upon it. A freely falling object may not necessarily be falling down in the vertical direction. An object moving upwards might not normally be considered to be falling, but if it is subject to only the force of gravity, it is said to be ...

  5. Sense of balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense_of_balance

    The sense of balance or equilibrioception is the perception of balance and spatial orientation. [1] It helps prevent humans and nonhuman animals from falling over when standing or moving. Equilibrioception is the result of a number of sensory systems working together; the eyes (visual system), the inner ears (vestibular system), and the body's ...

    "The high moments feel really good but when those downward spirals start, the gaslighting or the silent treatment, the body can go into a crash," Thomas said. "And it's that up and down and up and ...

  7. Rigid body dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_body_dynamics

    In the physical science of dynamics, rigid-body dynamics studies the movement of systems of interconnected bodies under the action of external forces.The assumption that the bodies are rigid (i.e. they do not deform under the action of applied forces) simplifies analysis, by reducing the parameters that describe the configuration of the system to the translation and rotation of reference ...

  8. Anatomical terms of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_motion

    t. e. Motion, the process of movement, is described using specific anatomical terms. Motion includes movement of organs, joints, limbs, and specific sections of the body. The terminology used describes this motion according to its direction relative to the anatomical position of the body parts involved. Anatomists and others use a unified set ...

  9. Gait (human) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gait_(human)

    Gait (human) Humans using a running gait. The runner in the back and on the far right are in the suspended phase, in which neither foot touches the ground. A gait is a manner of limb movements made during locomotion. [1] Human gaits are the various ways in which humans can move, either naturally or as a result of specialized training. [2]
