3.1 - Biochemical Principles: Newtons Law Of Motion, Force And The Use Of Technology Flashcards

1
Q

What is Newton’s first law of motion and what does it state

A

Law of inertia - states that a body continues at a state of rest or uniform velocity unless acted upon by an external force or an unbalanced object.

Q

What is Newton’s second law of motion and what does it state

A

Law of acceleration - A body’s rate of change in momentum is proportional to the size of the force applied. Acts in the same direction as the force.

Q

What is the centre of mass?

A

The point at which a body is balanced in all directions

17
Q

What is the Fosbury flop technique? (3 points)

A

Uses a j curve to allow greater velocity in the approach

Plant foot outside to allow inside leg to lift, along with the arms, at take-off to raise the centre of mass as high as possible

Fully extend the spine to rotate around the bar moving the centre of mass outside the body and below the bar. Only one section of the body has to be over the bar at one time

18
Q

What 4 factors affect stability?

A

Mass of the body
Height of the centre of mass
Base of support
Line of gravity

19
Q

What are the 4 components of the lever system?

A

Lever
Fulcrum
Effort
Load

20
Q

Describe the first class lever? Give an example?

A

Effort then fulcrum then load
Provides mechanical advantage
Example:
Extension of the neck when preparing to head a football

21
Q

Describe the second class lever? Give an example.

A

Fulcrum then load then effort
Provides mechanical advantage

Example:
Ball of foot in the take-off phase of a high jump

22
Q

Describe the third class lever system? Give an example.

A

Fulcrum effort load
Provides mechanical disadvantage

Example:
Performing a bicep curl

23
Q

What is mechanical advantage?

A

Where the effort arm is greater than the load arm

24
Q

What is mechanical disadvantage?

A

When the load arm is longer than the effort
