Physics of Walking / Walking on Ice

Physics Guru is an online education and competitive examinations preparation portal founded by Manish Verma, an IIT Madras alumnus, providing learning resources for competitive examinations.

The emphasis is on conceptual understanding, analytical thinking and problem solving rather than simply memorising formulas and standard methods.

The objective is to help students understand what they are learning and develop the ability to solve problems they have not seen before.

Physics of Walking / Walking on Ice

Physics of walking is explained by taking a question involving walking on ice considering one particular state of walking. Step size is particularly important in case of walking on ice as the coefficient of friction is quite small in this case. The embedded version of this video can be seen below.
