چکیده
We review the arguments supporting the existence of a maximal acceleration for a massive particle and show that different values of this upper limit can be predicted in different physical situations. ∗E-mail: [email protected]

Shadows of a Maximal Acceleration
A quantum mechanical upper limit on the value of particle accelerations, or maximal acceleration (MA), is applied to compact stars. A few MA fermions are at most present in canonical white dwarfs and neutron stars. They drastically alter a star’s stability conditions.
متن کاملSpin and Maximal Acceleration
We study the spin current tensor of a Dirac particle at accelerations close to the upper limit introduced by Caianiello. Continual interchange between particle spin and angular momentum is possible only when the acceleration is time-dependent. This represents a stringent limit on the effect that maximal acceleration may have on spin physics in astrophysical applications. We also investigate som...
متن کاملMeasuring acceleration and deceleration in soccer-specific movements using a local position measurement (LPM) system.
PURPOSE A local position measurement (LPM) system can accurately track the distance covered and the average speed of whole-body movements. However, for the quantification of a soccer player's workload, accelerations rather than positions or speeds are essential. The main purpose of the current study was therefore to determine the accuracy of LPM in measuring average and peak accelerations for a...
متن کاملAccelerations due to impact at heel strike using below-knee prosthesis.
The acceleration in the sagittal plane of the prosthetic tube at heel strike in normal walking was measured in five healthy amputees with their definitive below-knee prosthesis, every subject using six different prosthetic feet, wearing sport shoes as well as leather shoes. The experiments were carried out in the rehabilitation centre "Het Roessingh", Enschede, The Netherlands. Maximum accelera...
متن کاملMechanical power output during running accelerations in wild turkeys.
We tested the hypothesis that the hindlimb muscles of wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) can produce maximal power during running accelerations. The mechanical power developed during single running steps was calculated from force-plate and high-speed video measurements as turkeys accelerated over a trackway. Steady-speed running steps and accelerations were compared to determine how turkeys alt...
