Calculates the take-off speed of a vehicle involved in an airborne event (vault, fall or flip).
The calculated speed is displayed in both fps and mph in the Imperial System and m/s and km/h in the Metric System.
In addition to the take-off speed of the vehicle, its horizontal and vertical velocities are calculated along with the total airborne time.
The horizontal distance is entered through the use of a text box while the take-off angle and vertical distance are entered through the use of the sliders.
The vertical distance (landing height) is entered relative to the vehicle’s take-off position. Positive values indicate the vehicle landed higher than its take-off and negative values lower.
By entering the take-off angle and vertical distances via sliders, the investigator can rapidly determine the sensitivity of the data. Moving the slider changes the related value and speed calculations simultaneously.
