define moment of inertia
is the bodys resistance to change in its state of angular/rotational force
what’s the formula for moment of inertia
MOI= radius of rotation x mass
decreaced inertia means…
increased angular velocity
if a figure skater has their legs and arms out whilst spining does this have more or less inertia
more inertia
flexion creates more or less MOI ?
less
draw a graph that describes the conservation of angular momentum including angular velocity and moment of inertia
straight line = angular momentum
low then high then low- moment of inertia
high then low then high= angular velocity
define angular momentum
is the rotational or angular motion possessed by an object
how do you increase angular momentum
startt off with a jump or run up or improve segmental interaction take off
define the different leavers including: axis/fulcrum, effort/for arm, resistance arm, input(effort) force, output (resistance force)
fulcrum/ axis- point around which the lever rotates
effort/ force arm- the distance between the fulcrum and the point at which the force is applied
resistance arm- the distance between the fulcrum and the centre of resistance
input force (effort)- force exerted ON the lever
output( resistance force) -force exerted BY the lever
draw a diagram of first class lever and provide an example
tricep extention
header
force(down) fulcrum resistance (up)
draw a diagram of a second class lever and provide an example
fulcrum resistance force
push up
draw a diagram of a third class lever and provide an example
fulcrum force and resistance
bicep curl
list the factors effecting levers
- length of levers
- inertia of the lever
- the amount of force
describe factor effecting levers: the length of levers
velocity is greatest at the distal end of the lever
- longer lever greater at impact
- club length increased = increased velocity and momnetum at impact provide the athlete can control the longer lever as italso has an increased mass
- childern and begginers hsould start with a smaller length so its easier
describe the factor effecting levers in terms of inertia of the lever
- the longer the leaver the heaveir it is and therefore the more difficult it is to rotate
- by gripping down the club in striking sports athlete can reduce the rotational inertia and implement therefore making it easier to swing bunting
describe the factor effecting levers in terms of the amount of force
- the amount of force an athlete is able to generate via their muscles determines the length of the lever the athletes should use
- longer levers are usually heavier, therefore more force is required to move them.
describe newtons 1st law
the 1st law states that an object will remain at rest unless acted on by an external force. the object will move in the direction of the force acted upon the object
inertia is a object resistance to change in it current state or position, an objects inertia is proportional to its mass
describe newtons 3rd law
- states for every action there will be an equal and opposite reaction.
- if an athlete directs their foot towards the grounf then there will be a ground reaction force of equal force magnitude directed back in the direction towards the athletes foot
example: sprinter or swimmer using blocks to push the athlete forwards.
- tumble turn
describe newtons 2nd law
that an objects acceleration is direactly proportionsla to the force acting upon it and its indirectly proportional to its mass.
the greater the force applied to the object the greater the acceleration
f=ma
state the formula to increase momentum
f=ma to increase momentum we can increase mass or increase in velocity of the object.
- an object can only have momenttum if its moving
decribe force motion
relates to the magnitude of the force and the direction of the force applied.
athlete pushing strinking kicking applying max effort will effectivley maximise the magnitude of the force applied.
direction of the force applied- force in the direction of the target to increase transfer of momentum through the ball/object
what is the force-time relationship
where the acceleration of the object is proportional to the force applied and the impulse is the change in momentum.
how do you create a larger impulse
increase the range of motion in preparation phase of throwing an object
eg. discus throw and windup to increse impulse
explain how an archer can adust their technique with the bowstring to increase the force time relationship
the longer time in contact with the bowstring and the further back the bowting is drawn the greater the impulse applied and the faster and straighter the arrow will go
draw 2 different graphs relating to time force
graph one - short period of time short amount of high force
graph 2 longer period of time lower amount of force.
name an explain the biomechanicle principle behind having foam on the sole of running shoes and identify the benefit to a runner
biomechanical principle is force time (impulse)
- impulse is a measure of force applied over time the equation is impulse= force x time
foam increases the time the force is applied by the foot
absorbs impact and decreases peak force
the benefits to the runner is that it prevents injury
when stopping a force we…
usually increase the time components so we can decrease the peak force
