| Summary: | The flight path of a person fallen from a height can be described
as a projectile motion. This project aims to develop a software that
is able to judge the chances of foul play in a fall to death case, with
limited input data.
This report shows that how to get the different parameter of a projectile
motion, such as the initial velocity and falling height, through
calculation with limited input data. To support more on the analysis,
the falling motion such as sit-to-stand, walking, being pushed or
thrown are also studied and discussed. The difference between different
falling motions and the effect on the calculation has also been
discussed.
A simple software is developed for falling height estimation and
also for analyzing the chances of foul play, based on the finding in
falling motion. With a known falling height and distance, the software
can determine the chances of foul play by calculating the initial
horizontal velocity. |
