Q

What does a VELOCITY TIME graph show?

Study These Flashcards
A

The increase in velocity/ decrease in velocity over an amount of time
(has a DISTANCE)

19
Q

What does it mean if there’s a negative line below the horizontal time line on a VELOCITY TIME graph?

Study These Flashcards
A

A change in a bodies motion

Leads to an increase in velocity per unit of time in the OPPOSITE DIRECTON

20
Q

Calculate the acceleration of a performer travelling from 2 m/s to 7 m/s over 1 to 3 seconds?

Study These Flashcards
A

Final velocity= 7
Initial velocity= 2
(3-1= TIME TAKEN= 2 seconds)

=7/2= 2.5 m/s/s

21
Q

A swimmer completes three lengths of a 50m pool, define distance and displacement and calculate each?

Study These Flashcards
A

Distance= the total length covered by a body from one position to another
=150m

Displacement= the shortest STRAIGHT LINE route between two points
=50 m

22
Q

Define angular motion?

Study These Flashcards
A

Motion in a circular path about a fixed axis of rotation

Measured in radians

23
Q

How common is Angular Motion?

Study These Flashcards
A

More common than linear motion due to dynamic nature of most activities
Objects tend to rotate as they pass over a surface eg: F1 car, bike
Projectiles (a body propelled by the exertion of eccentric force) tend to rotate in flight path eg: tennis ball

24
Q

What causes angular motion?

Study These Flashcards
A

Results in an ECCENTRIC force ( a force applied outside the COM)
Also known as torque (a turning or rotating force)

25
Compare linear and angular motion?
Linear motion is movement of a body in a straight line at the same time, in the same distance, in the same direction Angular motion is the movement of a body in a circular path AROUND AN AXIS OF ROTATION A DIRECT FORCE- an external force that passes through the COM A ECCENTRIC FORCE- an external force (or torque) that moves outside the COM eg: bob skeleton at top speed eg: the arm rotating around the ball and socket joint of the solder when a tennis player hits the ball
26
Where does the Longitudinal Axis divide the body?
A vertical division that runs from head to toe (top to bottom ) Rotation, Supination, Pronation eg: flat spin in ice skating
27
Where does the Frontal Axis divide the body?
Runs from front to back from the COM Adduction and Abduction eg: cartwheel
28
Where does the transverse axis divide the body? T= TABLE football player
Runs from left and right through the COM (side to side) | Flexion and Extension
29
Axis and Plane pairs? | Fit People Sweat A lot
Frontal Axis and Sagittal Plane eg: Sagittal plane- flexion and extension- about the frontal axis of rotation
30
Axis and Plane pairs? | Tall People Fall A lot
Transverse Axis and Frontal Plane Transverse- runs from left to right through COM Frontal- lies vertical- front and back
31
Axis and Plane pairs? | Long people Talk Alot- chatty and lanky Caitlin
Longitudinal Axis and Transverse Plane Longitudinal- head to toe through COM Transverse- divides the body into Top and bottom
32
There are a number of descriptors specific to angular motion:
Angular Momentum- the amount of motion a body has during ROTATION Angular Velocity- rate of movement in ROTATION Angular Acceleration- rate of change in velocity in ROTATION Moment of Inertia- resistance of a body to a change of state when ROTATING
33
Define angular velocity | How do you calculate angular velocity
The rate of change of angular displacement- the rate/ speed of a spin = angular displacement (radians)/ time taken (s) = (rad/s) = how fast they are spinning
34
What is important to remember with angular speed and angular velocity?
They are interchangeable- speed doesn't include a direction whereas velocity includes a direction
35
Define Moment of Inertia (I) | How do you calculate moment of inertia?
The resistance of a body to change it's state of angular motion/ rotation Moment of Inertia= mass (kg) x distribution of mass from axis (m2) =(kg/m2)
36
What two factors affect MI and are used to calculate (I) ?
The MASS of a body: The greater the mass, the greater the moment of inertia The lower the mass, the easier it is to change the rate of rotation Sports with a high degree of rotation are typically performed by those with a low mass eg: figure skater Low mass= low MI= easier to control spin The DISTRIUTION of MASS around the AXIS OF ROTATION: the further the mass is from the axis of rotation, the greater the MI (increased resistance) Movements where the mass is tucked in= lower MI eg: tucked somersault. Tucked= low MI= faster rotation Normal= higher MI= slower rotation
37
What's the relationship between MI and AV?
If one is high, the other is low= OPPOSITE To increased AV, need to decrease MI To increase MI, need to decrease AV
38
Describe the stage of a skating spin when the skaters arms are out wide?
When their arms are out their mass is distributed far away from their axis of rotation, therefore - their MI is high - their resistance to rotation is high - this means AV is low - so the speed of their spin is low
39
Describe the stage of a skating spin when the skaters arms are tucked in?
When their arms are tucked in their mass is distributed closer to their axis of rotation, this means that: - their MI is low, meaning their resistance to rotation is low - this means their AV is high - therefore they spin faster
40
Define Angular Momentum | How do you calculate angular momentum?
The quantity of angular motion possessed by a moving body Angular Momentum= MI (kgm2) x Angular Velocity (rad/s) =(kgm2/rad/s) -Once generated in the air it remains CONSTANT- cannot be changed in flight so it's important to generate max angular momentum prior to flight.
41
What's Newton's 1st Law of Angular Motion?
A rotating body will continue in it's state of angular motion unless an external force or "torque" is exerted upon it. For example, an ice skater will continue to spin in the air until landing.
42
What's Newton's 2nd Law of Angular Momentum?
The rate of change in angular momentum is proportional to the force causing it and the change takes place in that direction eg: leaning forwards on a dive board will create more angular motion than standing straight `
43
What's Newtons 3rd Law of Angular Momentum?
When a force is applied from one body to another, the second body will exert an equal and opposite force on the other body eg: in a dive, changing position from a tight tuck to a lay out position.
44
What does a straight line mean on a SPEED TIME graph?
constant speed/velocity
