Kinetic Chain Dynamics

Quick fact

In a kinetic chain, energy and momentum can be transferred efficiently along the chain, allowing a small initial movement to generate a final velocity that is many times larger at the end.

Why this is interesting

You have likely seen the cracking of a whip—how a small motion at the handle travels to the tip, breaking the sound barrier. This is a vivid example of kinetic chain dynamics at work.
