Judo breakfalls keep judo players safe. The gravitational energy and kinetic energy equations, together with conservation of energy, can be used to calculate the speed with which a judoka hits the floor. Calculating the deceleration of the judo player as they come to rest means that Newton’s laws can be used to calculate the forces acting, and how these can be reduced. Torque acting on impact produces rotational motion, which also reduces the forces acting on the judoka.
