Download or read book Downwind Faster Than the Wind written by Nicholas Landell-Mills and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-02 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New analysis shows how Newton and Galileo provide a straightforward and useful explanation of sailing. According to Newton, the sail re-directs a mass of air of the apparent wind backwards to create a backward force (Force = ma). The reactive equal and opposite forward force pushes the sailboat ahead. According to Galileo a boat can sail downwind faster than the wind for the same reasons that it can sail upwind faster than the wind. Each tack is simply the mirror image of the other one. This is because in both situations the sailboat experiences a headwind, and the true wind is moving backwards relative to the boat. When sailing both upwind and downwind, the sail extracts momentum and energy from the true wind by slowing it down. That's it.

Download or read book That's Gotta Hurt written by Dr. David Geier and published by University Press of New England. This book was released on 2017-06-06 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In That's Gotta Hurt, the orthopaedist David Geier shows how sports medicine has had a greater impact on the sports we watch and play than any technique or concept in coaching or training. Injuries among professional and college athletes have forced orthopaedic surgeons and other healthcare providers to develop new surgeries, treatments, rehabilitation techniques, and prevention strategies. In response to these injuries, sports themselves have radically changed their rules, mandated new equipment, and adopted new procedures to protect their players. Parents now openly question the safety of these sports for their children and look for ways to prevent the injuries they see among the pros. The influence that sports medicine has had in effecting those changes and improving both the performance and the health of the athletes has been remarkable. Through the stories of a dozen athletes whose injuries and recovery advanced the field (including Joan Benoit, Michael Jordan, Brandi Chastain, and Tommy John), Dr. Geier explains how sports medicine makes sports safer for the pros, amateurs, student-athletes, and weekend warriors alike. That's Gotta Hurt is a fascinating and important book for all athletes, coaches, and sports fans.
