kiron Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 How do you calculate speed and distance covered assuming it was done on one of those biking excercise equipments given in revolutions per sec? How do you calculate the torque of the excericse machine? also if you are an astronaut in space, if you throw something left, am I to assume that the astronaut will float slightly right in equal momentum to the thrown object?

avenir001 Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 if u know the diameter (d), each revolution covers a distance equal to the circumference which is pi(d). so u can go from rev/sec to distance/sec. torque is just force times lever arm (eg from bike pedal to axis of rotation). and yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
