Newton’s 3 laws?
1 - Law of inertia
2 - Law of acceleration
3 - Law of action/reaction
What is inertia?
The force required to change the state of motion.
What does newtons first law state?
Law of inertia
Unless acted on by an external force, an object at rest will remain at rest
A moving object will remain moving in a straight line.
What does Newtons second law state?
Law of acceleration
A force upon an object causes it to accelerate
Formula - Force (n) = mass x acceleration
What does Newtons third law state?
Law of action/reaction
For every action (force), there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What is a scalar quantity?
A measurement of size or magnitude
Without taking into account direction.
Define Centre of mass?
Where an objects mass is considered to be concentrated.
What is the centre of mass also known as?
‘Point of balance’
4 factors centre of mass depends on?
Height
Muscle mass
Body shape
Body position
4 factors affecting stability?
Area of base of support
Height of COM
Mass of performer
Position of line of gravity
What is angular motion?
Movement that takes place around as axis on a fixed point.
What is a torque?
Force created that turns the body around an axis.
How to calculate angular motion?
Moment of inertia x Angular velocity.
How to increase angular motion?
Tucking limbs in
Decreases moment of inertia
How to slow down angular motion?
Opening out limbs
Increases moment of inertia
What is Newtons first angular law?
A rotating body will continue with constant torque until an external force is acted upon it.
What is Newtons second angular law?
The rate of change of angular motion is PROPORTIONAL to the force of changing it.
What is Newtons third angular law?
When torque is applied, there will be an equal and opposite force.
What is Angular displacement?
Smallest change in angle between start and finish points of a rotation.
Measured in degrees.
What is angular velocity?
Rotational speed of an object.
(Rate of change of angular displacement)
What is angular acceleration?
Rate of change of angular velocity.
What does projectile motion refer to?
Factors affecting objects into the air.
E.g. a Javelin or shot put.
What is horizontal displacement?
Shortest distance from starting to finish point.
2 Factors affecting horizontal displacement?
Gravity
Air resistance
