Linear Kinetics
in Excel
Linear Kinetics
For the data set “GRF of 2 Jumpers” assume:
Body mass is 85 kg
Body starts with an initial velocity of zero
Body starts in a squat and leaves the ground when the COM rises 0.31m from the starting position
Determine:
Takeoff velocity (when leaving the ground)
Peak force for GRF and effective force (∑Fy)
Average force for GRF and effective force (∑Fy)
Jump height
Graph (put both jumpers on one graph, be sure to label!):
GRF vs. time
Position vs. time
Velocity vs. time
Acceleration vs. time
Set Up the Data
Download the file ‘GRF of 2 Jumpers’ from Moodle
Open with Excel
Insert a Column between Columns A and B
Repeat to insert a second column
Label Column B ‘Mass’
Label Column C ‘Weight’
Column D should be ‘GRF Jumper A’
Column E should be ‘GRF Jumper B’
Set Up the Data
You were given body mass for both jumpers=85 kg
Type this into column C and drag down
Set Up the Data
Add two columns between columns D and E
Determine acceleration from GRF data
