Q

(F3 Lees and Robinson, 2015) When changing direction what is the player trying to maximise?

A

40
Q

Friction force? Example?

A

Q

(F3 Lees and Robinson, 2015) In what way should friction force be directed?

A

Should be directed perpendicular to the current direction of motion.

42

A

…magnitude proportional to the force applied, and takes place in the direction in which the force acts.

43
Q

(F5 Lees and Robinson, 2015) How must the striking implement move when hitting a moving ball or object? At impact, what will the direction of the striking implement be like?

A

Must move in a direction that takes into account the motion of the moving object.
Direction will be different from where the object goes.

44
Q

(F5 Lees and Robinson, 2015) The force (F) applied by the striking implement to the object, causes an acceleration (a) of that object, which has a…

A

…magnitude proportional to the force applied, and takes place in the direction in which the force acts.

45
Q

Divergence?

A

Paths/lines going in different directions.

46
Q

(F5 Lees and Robinson, 2015) What is the divergence between the direction of the applied force and the direction of resulting motion related to?

47
Q

(F5 Lees and Robinson, 2015) Mass + Speed?

A

= Momentum.

48
Q

(F5 Lees and Robinson, 2015) What 2 things do you need to consider prior to impact when using a force to cause an acceleration?

A
  1. ) The velocity of the object prior to impact.

2. ) The mass of the object prior to impact.

49
Q

Force formula?

A

Mass x Acceleration = Force

50
Q

What is acceleration? Acceleration formula?

A
  • The rate of change in velocity.

- Force / Mass = Acceleration.

51
Q

(F5 Lees and Robinson, 2015) The higher the mass when striking an object…

A

…the lower the acceleration.

52

55
Q

(C2 Lees and Robinson, 2015) A coordinated sequence of rotational movements are required to achieve…

A

…a high end point speed.

56
Q

(C2 Lees and Robinson, 2015) How is the speed of the end point in most throwing/striking/kicking skills built up?

A

Sequentially.

The speed of rotation of the earlier segment is built upon by the next segment to build up the speed of the end point.

57
Q

(C3 Lees and Robinson, 2015) For a linked body segment chain that includes several major points of the body, what is used?

A

Simultaneous joint movements are used when producing forceful actions for this.

58
Q

(C3 Lees and Robinson, 2015) What do forceful/powerful movements require? Example?

A

Muscles about joints to act synchronously e.g. jumping for height - hip and knee muscles act simultaneously to generate high force.

A

…parabolic flight path.

68
Q

Parabolic flight path?

A

Upside down ‘U’ shape.

69
Q

Centre of gravity/mass?

A

The mid point of the body, where all the mass of the body is balanced/equally distributed in all directions.
The point through which the force of gravity acts.

70

The centre of gravity changes as…

A

…the parts of the body change their position.

71
Q

Where does the centre of gravity not necessarily lie?

A

Within the body.

72
Q

Horizontal displacement?

A

The distance a projectile has moved between its point of release and its point of landing, measured as a straight line parallel to the ground.

73

Horizontal displacement of a projectile is known as the…

  • Low centre of mass/gravity.

(F6 Lees and Robinson, 2015) Which Burkett principle applies to this?

A

1st.

76
Q

A

Forces which do not act through the centre of gravity of the body.

78
Q
