movement analysis + biomechanics Flashcards
1
Q
Newton’s first law
A
- law of inertia
- object stays in rest or motion unless an external force is exerted
- ball is still until kicked by player
2
Q
Newton’s second law
A
- law of acceleration
- rate of momentum is proportional to the force causing it, in the direction in which the force acts
- when a player kicks the ball, the acceleration of the ball is proportional to the size of the force so the harder it’s kicked, the faster it will go.
3
Q
Newton’s third law
A
- law of reaction
- every action has an equal and opposite reaction
- when jumping for a header, the force put into the ground is equal to the force out of the ground so the more force in the ground, the higher the jump
4

3. speed
4. mass
36
weight
mass x gravity
greater mass of object, greater influence of gravity upon it
vertical component
37
parabolic vs non-parabolic
parabolic - symmetrical
non-parabolic - non symmetrical
38
aerofoil
an object where the air flow travels further over the top of the projectile than the air passing underneath
39
bernoulli principle
refers to the lift force and downforce created when air flows over an aerofoil
40

further
faster
lower
bottom:
shorter
slower

pressure differential - causes lift
41
application of upward lift force
discus can hang in the air for longer resulting in an increased horizontal displacement/discus thrown further
