BME 205/215 Lab 9: DIY body dynamics worksheetDue: by end of lab (April 22, 2022)OBJECTIVEStudy linear and rotational kinematics experimentally using force platforms and accelerometers. BACKGROUNDSee Lab 8.EQUIPMENT● Force platform● Force platform handles● Accelerometers● PASCO Capstone● Ruler● Velcro strap● Something to throwEXPERIMENTCome up with two experiments of your own using the provided equipment. At least one experiment must use theforce platform, and at least one experiment must use an accelerometer. Feel free to be creative and use multiple force platforms or accelerometers. POST-LAB WORK*** Please submit this by the end of lab ***For each experiment, briefly answer the following questions on the separate worksheet:1. Describe what you were testing and your rational for testing it2. Make a hypothesis of what you expect your measurements will look like.3. List the required equipment (excluding the computer)4. Sketch a graph of your data.5. What sources of error may have affected your results?For example, if I measured my hangtime during a vertical jump and the force at takeoff:1. We wanted to know whether hangtime is related to the force at takeoff for a vertical jump. Hangtime is an important skill in athletics, particularly in basketball for winning a rebound or dunking the basketball. Our long-term goal is to improve jump height (which we know is related to hangtime) and todo so we want to understand what factors may contribute to a longer hangtime. Such an understanding could ultimately aid the design of improved hangtime training regimens.2. We hypothesize that the longer the hangtime, the higher the takeoff force.3.
