PHYS 12800 - Physics Of Martial Arts |
Credit Hours: 3.00. A conceptual study in physics as it applies to martial arts. In particular, Newtonian mechanics, rotational dynamics, material study, and center of mass will be addressed. No martial arts experience is necessary nor will any martial art be taught. Unlike other conceptual physics courses, this course will very much focus on the forces a human can exert on another object. From these beginnings, the course will develop the student's conceptual understanding of momentum, work, energy, power, and intensity to achieve a final goal of understanding collisions. The course will also examine leverage, rotational dynamics, and center of mass (throwing, grappling, and joint maneuvers). Typically offered Fall Spring.
