Abstract

Mechanical concepts in volved in such an everyday activity as walking may be a good example in basic Physics teaching.

Friction concepts are discussed, as well as shoes' type, slope of path an other factors' incidence. Torques and angular momentum variation for systems of particles leading to arms' oscillation are analyzed. Their behaviour as forced oscillators is also taken into account. Stability is studied. Work and energy aspects are also considered.
