Q

Difference between kinematics and kinetics

A

Kinematics describes the observed motion (focuses on the geometry of motion of objects: such as displacement, velocity, acceleration…)

Kinetics explains how the observed motion was achieved. Study of the forces acting within a body and the changes they produce in the body itself.

Q

Mechanical work

A

Mechanical work is a measure of the transfer of energy from one object/body to another.

Work done by a force on an object= the magnitude of the force multiplied by the displacement of the object along the line of the force

Work= force x displacement

Q

Negative mechanical work

A

The force is applied in the opposite direction to the resulting movement

Often associated with eccentric exercise

22
Q

Kinetic energy

A

Energy of motion

The energy possessed by a body because it is moving

23
Q

Potential energy

A

Energy of position

Stored energy which can become kinetic due to relative height or deformation

24
Q

Gravitational potential energy

A

Due to relative position above a surface

PE= weight x height
PE= mass x gravity x height

25
Q

Strain potential energy

A

Due to deformation (strain or elastic energy)

SE= 0.5 x stiffness constant x amount of deformation squared

26
Q

Conservation of energy

A
  • mechanical energy is never lost
  • when gravity is the only acting external force, mechanical energy is constant (airborne)
27
Q

Mechanical power

A
  • the rate of doing work (how much work is done in a specific amount of time)
  • power= work/time
28
Q

Angular momentum

A

Quantity of rotational motion

Angular momentum= moment of inertia x angular velocity

Constant during flight

Units are kg.m2/s

29
Q

Moment of inertia

A

Resistance to rotational motion

If more mass is closer to an axis of rotation, it is easier to alter rotational motion of a body

If mass is distributed further from the centre of rotation, moment of inertia will be greater

Moment of inertia= mass x square of the perpendicular distance to the rotation axis

Units= kg.m2

30
Q

Angular velocity

A

Speed of rotational motion

Units are rads/s

31
Q

Aerial motion

A
  • during flight the path of the centre of mass is fixed
  • rotation is the only thing we can control
  • segments can be repositioned around the centre of mass (Fosbury flop)
32
Q

Resistance to rotational motion

A

Inertia= resilience to motion

Mass is a linear measure of inertia

When considering rotation, moment of inertia is a measure of a body’s resistance to motion

33
Q

Conservation of angular momentum

A
  • when gravity is the only external force, angular momentum is conserved
  • determined at takeoff
  • therefore if moment of inertia decreases, angular velocity increases
34
Q

Newton’s angular laws

A

1- a rotating body will continue to rotate with constant angular momentum unless an external force acts on it (conservation of angular momentum)

2- rate of change of angular momentum is proportional to the torque causing it and takes place in the direction in which the torque acts

3- for every torque exerted by one body on another, there is an equal and opposite torque exerted by the second body in the first

35
Q

Torque

A
  • Torques are the rotational forces
  • torque= force x distance
  • torque is the ability of force to produce rotation around an axis
  • amount of torque depends on:
  • amount of force exerted, distance between force and the axis of motion (moment arm)
36
Q

Factors affecting coefficient of restitution

A

Material properties of the object:
Material type, flexibility, shape/size, performers kinematics.

E.g. string tension set by tennis player
Affects length of contact time. COR increases with contact time.

Impact location of tennis racket (centre of percussion, the node, the point of maximum coefficient of restitution)

37
Q

Coefficient of friction

A
  • number that serves as an index of the interaction between 2 surfaces in contact.
  • friction is the force acting perpendicular to 2 surfaces in contact
  • rebound angle dependent upon coefficient of friction.
    String surface properties rather than string plane
38
Q

What is a projectile

A

A projectile is an object that is propelled by the application of an external force and moves freely under the influence of gravity and air resistance.

39
Q

What are the properties of a projectile

A
  • a projectile has both a horizontal and vertical component
  • these act independently
40
Q

Horizontal and vertical motion (projectiles)

A
  • no horizontal forces act on a projectile (newton’s first law: an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it) so there will be uniform motion
  • gravity affect vertical motion. Velocity increases by 9.81m/s every second, downwards. Mass does not change acceleration when an object is in free fall.

The result of both vertical and horizontal motion is a porabolic trajectory of a projectile.

It is symmetrical on the way up and down

41
Q

Displacement formula (projectiles)

A

1/2 x gravity x change in time squared

42
Q

Streamlines

A

Diverging streamlines= slowing down

Converging streamlines= speeding up

43
Q

Curved streamlines

A

A pressure gradient must exist
Push streamlines around corner
Relative local pressure difference

44
Q

Total drag

A
  • skin/surface drag or viscous drag
  • form/profile drag or pressure drag
  • wave drag
45
Q

Turbulent boundary layer

A
  • Roughness (trigger turbulent BL)
  • if pressure gradient ok, turbulent bl remains attached
  • slightly more friction drag
  • can withstand larger adverse pressure gradient
46
Q

Why do objects experience lift

A
  • Streamlines not symmetrical
  • areas of high pressure and low pressure cause lift
47
Q

Magnus effect

A

Magnus force- a lift force created by the spinning of an object (perpendicular to direction of movement)

Magnus effect- deviation in trajectory of a spinning object toward the direction of spin, resulting from the Magnus force

48
Q

Units of measurement for angular velocity

A

Radians, revolutions, degrees

49
Q

Single point digitising

A
  • follows location of single point through time.
  • records coordinates of marker to give linear kinematics:
  • position, displacement, velocity, acceleration
50
Q

Multipoint digitising

A
  • if 3 joint centres of connected segments are tracked, can calculate angular kinematics.
  • hip, knee and ankle= knee joint
  • can be used to locate the CM/CG
51
Q

Kinematics

A
  • Describe the change in motion (without regard to the forces causing the motion)
  • used for describing actions and movements (how high, fast far, which direction…)
