18
Q

what happens when there is a greater momentum?

A

more force required to stop or slow the object

19
Q

what is force - motion ?

A

the magnitude of the force and the direction of the force applied, more force=greater acceleration

20
Q

what is force-time equation?

A

impulse=force x time

21
Q

what is impulse?

A

the change in momentum

this is done by removing peak force

22
Q

how is a larger impulse created?

A

increasing the range of motion in the prep phase

23
Q

what is the coefficient of restitution ?

A

refers to the elasticity of an objects and measures the momentum that is conserved

24
Q

how is COR measure?

A

-between 0-1
-0 being the least elastic
-1 being the most elastic

25
Q

how is COR affected?

A

-the materials of the interacting surfaces
-velocity of collision
-temperature of the material

26
Q

what is the definition of torque ?

A

a force that is produced via rotational movement around an axis from an eccentric force

27
Q

how is torque increased?

A

-increase the force
-increase the distance away from the axis
-increase the radius

28
Q

what is segmental interaction ?

A

the transfer of energy between body parts it is the way the body segments and interacts to meet the demands of a task

29
Q

what are the 6 points to segmental interaction ?

A

-body parts move in a sequence to generate the largest force or acceleration possible
-movement starts with the largest strongest, slowest segments working through to the smallest and fastest resulting in summation of momentum
-the next segment begins to move as the preceding segment has reached maximum velocity
-the body needs to be well balanced to aid in the transfer of momentum across body segments
-follow through is important to prevent deceleration of the last segment and safe dissipation of force
-all forces are directed to the target

30
Q

what is the coordination continuum ?

A

the sequencing approach to develop motion

31
Q

what is the definition of balance?

A

the ability of something to maintain its position

32
Q

how is balance improved?

A

-larger base support
-increasing surface area on the ground
-lowers centre of gravity
-maintains line of gravity in the middle of the base support

33
Q

what is range of motion and what occurs when it is increased?

A

-the degree at which the body segment moves around a joint while in motion
-increase velocity

34
Q

what are the three factors to optimal projection ?

A
  • height of release
  • projection angle
  • velocity of release
35
Q

what is turbulent flow?

A

flow in which the velocity at any point varies erratically.
less pressure
later seperation point

36
Q

what is laminar flow?

A

a type of fluid flow in which fluid moves smoothly in individual streams
more pressure
early seperation point

37
Q

what is the definition of Form Drag?

A

the resistance created by the pressure differential between the front and the back of an object moving through a fluid
-delaying seperation=decreased cross section

38
Q

what is the definition of boundary seperation layers?

A

the point at which the boundary layer of fluid passing over the body/ object separates the surface

39
Q

what is surface drag ?

A

the friction between the fluid and the surface of a moving object

40
Q

what is wave drag?

A

the resistance formed by the creation of waves at the point where water and air interact
this drag comes from the creation of waves as an object moves through water

41
Q

how to improve wave drag ?

A

-improve buoyancy
-making object more streamline
-improve technique
-boat craft will decrease wave drag

42
Q

what is Bernoulli’s principle ?

A

-the velocity of the fluid flow determines the pressure system
-pressure on one side of an object is inversly proportional to the velocity on the samme side of the object as the velocity of the fluid increases the pressure decreases

43
Q

how is torque effected?

A

force applied
length of moment arm
angle

44
Q

what is the magnus effect?

A
  • the pressure differential high on one side and low on the other creates lift force that causes the ball to move in the direction of the pressure differential
  • magnus force changes the flight of the ball due to spin while moving through air
