Biomechanics - Kinetic Linear Concepts (Unit 3 AOS 1 Terms) Flashcards
56 List 2 sporting situations where it is an advantage to decrease the friction?
LINEAR CONCEPTS
Swimming by wearing a speed suit (black tight suit)
cycling - tight fitted clothes
- narrow tires
means less surface
area and less
friction
Water skiing
road cycling
ice skating
List 2 situations where it is an advantage to increase friction?
LINEAR CONCEPTS
basketball = changing directions with shoes - friction between shoes and floor
Spikes, applying chalk, gloves, waxing surfboard
In order to move an object across a surface, you must overcome the friction. How would you achieve this?
LINEAR CONCEPTS
Increasing the force applied
Mass
LINEAR CONCEPTS
A measure of the amount of matter an object is made up of (measure in kg)
is constant (doesnt change)
+++use mass more in biomechanics+++
Weight
LINEAR CONCEPTS
The force that is exerted on the body by gravity
more force needs to be produced to move an object of greater weight
link between mass and inertia
LINEAR CONCEPTS
The greater the mass the greater the inertia.
Inertia and force tip
LINEAR CONCEPTS
The force applied to the object must be greater than the inertia of the object in order for the motion to change. I.e. you need sufficient force to overcome inertia
Speed
LINEAR CONCEPTS
distance / time (how quickly an object covers distance)
from a to b
Velocity
LINEAR CONCEPTS
displacement / time
(the rate of change in an object’s position in a specific time range.)
Momentum has a key role in collision - what is this role?
LINEAR CONCEPTS
At collision there is a change in momentum. MASS doesn’t change, so there must be a change in velocity.
example - Conservation of momentum (linear)
LINEAR CONCEPTS - stick and ball
Before collision:
Ball possesses zero momentum as it is not moving
Stick possesses momentum equal to its mass x velocity (swing)
After collision:
Stick possess zero momentum as it stops after the hit
The ball possess momentum equal to its mass x velocity (ball flying away)
As momentum is the same (conserved), due to the ball having less mass than the stick, it will travel at a greater velocity than the speed of the stick prior to hitting (swing speed).
This is why the ball ‘flies’ off the stick when hit.
Conservation of momentum (linear) - what is it? and example
LINEAR CONCEPTS
The total momentum of the system before the collision is equal to the momentum after the collision.
eg: release of a javlon
eg2: 10 pin bowling
objects in the system include bowling ball and pin
some momentum from the ball tranfers to th pins
Summation of momentum what body parts,
and examples
LINEAR CONCEPTS
The correct timing and sequencing of body segments and muscles through a range of motion to produce maximum force.
adding together body parts from heaviest and largest to lightest smallest
PRODUCES MAXIMUM FORCE FOR MAXIMAL FORCE ACTIVITIES INCLUDING:
eg:
wight lift
shot put
3 pointer
long kick in footy
two types of summation of force
LINEAR CONCEPTS
- Simultaneous Force
- Sequential Force
Simultaneous Force
(summatation of force)
LINEAR CONCEPTS
Summation - body parts move at the same time to perform the action eg. 100m sprint
Sequential Force
(summatation of force)
LINEAR CONCEPTS
Summation- body parts move in a sequence to produce the desired degree of force.
IMPULSE def and equation and what must you do to change the momentum of an object?
The greater…
LINEAR CONCEPTS
change in momentum of the object.
Impulse = force x time
to change the momentum of an object, force must be apllied over a period of time - the greater the impulse, the greater the change in momentum
Impulse can be manipulated by…
LINEAR CONCEPTS
- increasing the time the force is being applied
- applying greater force.
- Maximimising time AND force
how can impulse be manipulated to increase velocity of an object- discuss example
LINEAR CONCEPTS
Increasing time (eg. arm back before throwing and release forwards and flick fingers)
Throwing techniques e.g discuss (2.22 p47)
Run-up (increasing time).
Longer stride length
