What an athlete do to increase his stability when he lands on the balance beam from a flip?

A series of body movements in which a person leaps into the air and then rotates one or more times while airborne is referred to as a flip.

When an athlete flips and lands on the beam, to increase his or her balance, he or she must spread out their hands-on either sides.

In doing this, they redistribute their forces (centre of gravity) to gain equilibrium create inertia to dampen the kinetic energy during the flip.

a=d/t

a="triangle"v/t

explanation:

a = acceleration
