Törmäyspotentiaali
Törmäyspotentiaali, often abbreviated as TP, is a concept used in sports, particularly in ice hockey, to quantify the potential for a collision between two players. It is calculated based on the mass and velocity of the players involved. The formula typically used is TP = (m1 * v1 + m2 * v2) / 2, where m1 and m2 are the masses of the players, and v1 and v2 are their velocities.
The concept of törmäyspotentiaali was popularized by Finnish ice hockey player Jari Kurri, who used it to
In other sports, similar concepts are used to analyze the potential for collisions. For example, in American
While törmäyspotentiaali is a useful tool for analyzing collisions in sports, it is important to note that
