Faith Brings
Backround
Since Exploration Academy is about
combining real life passions and your school
learning criteria; I went forth and took my
love a horse-back riding and meshed it with
physics.
-When you watch the video you can blatantly see the
dominate force pair acting. Chevy's hoof contacting
the ground, then ground also applying an equal
force, but in an opposite direction. The force in the
opposite direction is propelling us forward and
upward so that we can clear the 0.60 meter jump.
There are Three phases of
a jump, takeoff, flight and
land.
First Phase (Approach)
The velocity needs to increase with the amount of energy
needed to successfully make the jump; higher the fence, the
more velocity needed. There is only kinetic energy(KE) which
can be presented by:
KE = 1/2 mv^2
Second Phase (Flight)
At maximum height, your velocity is reduced to zero; you will
only possess potential energy(PE). This potential energy is
presented by :
PE = mgy
Second Phase (Flight)
The greater the mass,the greater the potential energy. Plus
being higher off the ground will produce greater PE. Meaning
a higher fence, and a heavier rider will affect the potential
energy.
Higher the fence, and the heavier mass on Chevys back will
increase the gravitational potential energy during our flight,
and the amount of force upon landing.
Third Phase (Landing)
When landing you return to the original velocity. Chevys
energy goes from kinetic to potential to kinetic. This is known
as the Law of Conservation, which can be presented by the
formula:
