Directional ballistic movement with transported mass / Errol R. Hoffmann and Khai-Chung Gan

Sumario: By applying Newton's Law of motion and assuming an approximate sinusoidal or trapezoidal waveform for the acceleration pattern, time for a ballistic movements is shown to be a function of the square root of movement amplitude and total moment of inertia. This equation is the ballistic equivalent of Fitts' equation for visually controlled movements. The experimental data gave excellent correlation with the mathematical models
