Chapter 3-4 Quiz Flashcards
Newton I
Law of Inertia
Newton II
Law of Acceleration
Newton III
Law of Action/Reaction (sprinter applying force against blocks in start)
What forces work to slow an athlete down?
Friction, gravity, and air resistance.
Acceleration of Body Mass
proportional to muscular force applied
Force =?
Mass * Acceleration
Momentum
Quantity of motion that occurs. Quantity of momentum depends on how much mass and how heavy the athlete is.
Momentum =?
Mass * Velocity
Impulse
application of muscular force to an object over time. Depends on physical capabilities of the athlete. Strong and flexible means more force over greater range of motion (javelin throw).
Cadence
rhythmic and cyclic motion of sports skill (rowing, sprinting, speed skating.
Impulse to slow down and stop
friction/air resistance
reaction force of the group slows athlete down
enlarge area of impact
Mechanical Work
to apply force over a particular distance. If the object doesn’t move, no work is being done.
Power
amount of work done over a particular period. P = W/T
Power units
1 horsepower = moving 550 lbs 1 ft in one second. 1 horsepower = 745.7 watts
Energy (joules)
the ability to do work. to apply force over a distance against resistance.
Mechanical Energy 3 Forms
Kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy, and strain energy,
