linear motion Flashcards
linear motion
linear motion
movement in a straight or curved line, eith all body parts moving in the same distance at the same speed in the same direction
scalar quantities
linear motion
when measurments are only described in terms of size or magnitude
mass (kg) , distance (m) , speed (m/s)
vector quantities
linear motion
when measurements are only described in terms of size or magnitude
weight, acceleration, displacement, velocity , momentum
mass
linear motion
mass is the quantity of matter the body posses
our mass is made up of bone, mucle, fat, tissue and fluid
kilograms (kg)
distance
linear motion
- distance is the length of the path a body follows when moving from one postion to another
- this is a scalar quantity as just measures size
displacment
linear motion
- is the length if a straight line joining the start and finish points
- is a vector quanity as it described the direction and mangnitude
speed
linear motion
- a measurment in metres/second of the bodys movement per unit of time with no reference of direction
- it is a scalor quantity since it does not consider direction
- SPEED = DISTANCE / TIME
SPEED EQUATION
linear motion
distance / time
velocity
linear motion
- measured in metres per second
- is the rate of change of displacement
- refers to how fast the body travels in a certain direction
- vector quantity
- VELOCITY = DISPLACEMENT (M) / TIME (S)
VELOCITY EQUATION
linear motion
displacement (m) / time (s)
stationary
distance time graph - look at graphs
- there is no distance travelled and the line is straight so therefore the object must be stationary
- e.g a netball player taking shot
acceleration
distance time graph - look at graphs
- now the line is curved and gradually gets steeper
- this shows that there is more distanced being covered
- this is showing acceleration
- e.g the first 20m of a 100m race
constant rate
distance time graph - look at graphs
- goes up in a constant diagonal direction
- indicates the distance ran is changing at a constant rate
deceleration
distance time graph - look at graphs
- the curve starts to leel off and less distance travelling in a certain amount of time
- means that deceleration is occuring
- e.g when a sprinter crosses the line
constant velocity
velocity time graph - look at graph
- line remains constant which indicates that they are travelling at a constant velocity
accelerating
velocity time graph - look at graph
- the gradient is steeper
- moving at a higher velocity/accelerating
- gradient = change is velcoity/time
decelerating
velocity time graph - look at graph
- line decreases
- the hits line
- comes to a stop
acceleration
- is a vector quantity
- is the measured in metres per second squared
- is the rate in change of velocity
- when velocity decreases , negative acceleration
- when velocity increases, postive acceleration
- ACCELERATION = FINAL VELOCITY - INITIAL VELOCITY / TIME
ACCELERATION EQUATION
final velocity - initial velocity /time
m/s2
momentum
- is the product of the mass and velocity of an object
- vector quanitity
- dependant upon mass and velocity - if one increases momentum increases
- momentum (kgm/s) = mass (kg) x velocity (m/s)
MOMENTUM EQUATION
mass (kg) x velocity (m/s)
KGM/S
forces
forces acting on a performer
- friction (static/slippage)
- air resistance
- gravity (9.8)
- water resistance
- a force changes the bodies state of motion
internal force
forces acting on a performer
- bodys muscles
- when our skeletal muscles contract
external force
forces acting on a performer
- comes from outside the body
- E.G firction , air resistance and weight
- gravity is also an exteral force but often descibed as weight
