Can the diver of Fig. 8di2shapm +.m6q;et4 w–29 do a somersaub9vt q*1 x+pxmlt without having any initial rotation when she leaves the board?pb mqt9 v1xx*+
参考答案:
In order to do a somersault, the
diver needs some initial angular momentum when she leaves the diving board,
because angular momentum will be conserved during the free-fall motion of the
dive.She cannot exert a torque on
herself in isolation, and so if there is no angular momentum initially, there
will be no rotation during the rest of the dive.
