A course in physics of human motion
American Journal of Physics, 1975A course in elementary mechanics especially designed for students of athletics and dance is described. The course has been taught for two years at the University of Minnesota. Innovative features include a gymnasium laboratory utilizing an inexpensive photographic technique for analysis of human motion.

THE PHYSICS OF TROPICAL CYCLONE MOTION
Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2005▪ Abstract This article reviews our current understanding of the physical mechanisms governing the movement of a tropical cyclone. In a barotropic framework, a tropical cyclone is basically “steered” by the surrounding flow but its movement is modified by the Coriolis force (referred to as the beta effect) and the horizontal vorticity gradient of the

The conceptualization of cases of physical motion
European Journal of Psychology of Education, 1989The question addressed in the present article concerns the contextual character of students’ conceptions of cases of psysical motion. An interview investigation with students following the mechanical engineering line of study at Chalmers University of Technology, Goteborg, Sweden was carried out during the students’ first year of study, before and ...

1995
By changing only the playback timing of a motion sequence, an animator can achieve a variety of effects that alter our perception of an event. In some scenarios, it may be important to consider physical properties of the motion when retiming (e.g., to preserve physical plausibility). However, existing retiming solutions can be quite time consuming when

Does Physical Motion Matter? The Encoding Differences between Fictive and Physical Motion Events
Cognitive Semantics, 2017This study aims to explore linguistic differences between fictive motion expressions and physical motion event expressions in Chinese. Although both types of expressions are associated with dynamic linguistic forms, they describe different types of semantic content.

Particles and motion in Spinoza's physics
2011The central aim of my thesis is to enquire into Spinoza's theory of the structure of the physical universe. It is generally accepted that from a scientific point of view Spinoza regarded the universe as consisting of particles in motion. My major concern is with the nature of these particles and what role they play in his cosmology.

The Statistical Physics of Aperiodic Motion
1998What physical quantity can we use to capture and describe the multitude of invariant sets and the local structure of unstable manifolds W u that determine the form and structure of chaos? By introducing the expansion rate of neighboring orbits, which expresses the stretching and folding of segments of W u, and the local dimension, which describes the ...
