Dynamic (Functional) Dimensions Definition: "Measurements taken when the human body is engaged in some physical activity". Types: Static Dimensions (adjusted for movement), Rotational Inertia, Radius of Gyration Principle 1- Estimating Conversion of Static Measures for Dynamic Situations e.g. dynamic height = 97% of static height e.g. dynamic arm reach = 120% of static arm length Principle 2 - Integrating The entire body operates together to determine the value of a measurement parameter e.g. Arm Reach = arm length + shoulder movement + partial trunk rotation and + some back bending + hand movement

Step 1
Example 1: Throwing a ball In this case, the arm reach is determined by the combination of shoulder movement, elbow extension, wrist movement, and some trunk rotation. All these movements together contribute to the overall reach and force applied to the ball. Show more…

Dynamics is a branch of physical science and a subdivision of mechanics that is concerned with the motion of material objects in relation to the physical factors that affect them: force, mass, velocity, acceleration, momentum, and energy. It helps us understand the nature and physics in the automotive industry. You need to run the crash test, which is a frontal impact test between an old car and a modern car. You need to analyze their common magnitude and direction of velocity just after the collision if the cars crash head-on and become entangled. Then, find the final momentum for both cars. Mass of Old Car: 1500 kg Mass of Modern Car: 1700 kg Initial Velocity of Old Car: 140 m/s Initial Velocity of Modern Car: 120 m/s
Moment Of Inertia Calculation Lab Task: You will pick an everyday object (something around your house or in your yard) and using simplifying assumptions, you will calculate an approximate moment of inertia around an axis of rotation you define. Include a picture of your object in your lab and include your calculations of the moment of inertia. Purpose: To practice making simplifying assumptions to help solve a moment of inertia problem. Skills: Algebraic calculation and creative thinking.
