[To whom are roller-skaters harmful? A questionnaire among roller-skaters]
Abstract:
The number of roller-skaters in Denmark has increased visibly during recent years. We found a high incidence of serious injuries among patients (n = 112) who attended our emergency department from June 14th to October 14th 1996. One third of the patients were diagnosed with a fracture. Increasing numbers of the injured roller-skaters use protective gear, mostly wrist splints (37%). Wrist splints probably reduce the number of fractures, but do not completely eliminate the risk of fracture. It seems that roller-skaters are less harmful to other pedestrians than previously assumed.

Rolling Resistance
For instance, imagine a hard cylinder rolling on a comparatively soft surface. The cylinder's weight compresses the surface beneath it. As the cylinder moves, the material in front of it slows down due to...

Equation of Motion: General Plane motion - Problem Solving
The friction between the roller and the ground is characterized by two coefficients. The static friction coefficient is 0.15, while the kinetic friction coefficient is 0.1. These values are crucial in understanding the interaction between...
