Document Summary
Lecture 3 - introduction to biomechanics, muscles and. Eg stick a human in the sahara desert, Eg cheetahs run fast, praying mantis arms, hummingbird wing flaps, flying fish, fleas jumping, sandfish burial walking in sand then swimming in sand. Take the laws of physics to determine how force acts on an animal. Eg the dino skull that ther built a model of to see the forces and changes in the skull to predict what they ate. Use numbers from a biological system and plug into a model/equation. Eg the guinea fowl and when the muscles are working and how much. Ground reaction force, equal force on animal as animal steps on ground. Eg the moving particles in the fish tank experiment, can see movement of water force from the fish moving or smoke with bees. Put things inside the muscle to pick up signals. Piece of metal put on either side of tendon.
