Description
What goes up must come down. That is important to understand when rock climbing. As a climber moves up a wall, the amount of potential energy they have increases. When the climber falls a lot of their stored potential energy is about to be transformed into kinetic energy. This research looks into the kinematics and forces involved with falling rock climber through theoretical modeling, experimentation, and data analysis.
