16
Q

What is inertia?

A

The property of objects to stay in motion or at rest unless acted upon by an outside force

17
Q

What are the 4 questions of kinematics?

A

How far
How long
How fast
How consistent was the motion

18
Q

What is Newton’s 1st law of motion?

A

Inertia: objects will not change their state of motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced external force

19
Q

Define torque, or moment of force.

A

When a force causes angular motion

20
Q

What is angular kinetics?

A

The rotation about an axis of rotation and the control of these rotations

21
Q

What components comprise lever systems?

A

An axis of rotation (fulcrum)

Lever attached to fulcrum

22
Q

What is the force arm?

A

Distance from axis to where the force is applied

23
Q

What is the resistance arm (RA)?

A

Distance from the axis to where the resistance is applied

24
Q

What is the formula for torque?

A

Force arm (FA) x force

25
Q

How many types of levers are there?

A

3

26
Q

What is Newton’s second law of motion?

A

Acceleration: for linear movements, acceleration a body experiences is directly proportional to the force causing it and takes places in the same direction as the force

27
Q

What is the formula for acceleration?

A

F = m x a

28
Q

What is the Magnus effect?

A

The net difference in pressure on opposite sides of a rotating body generating a force that changes the bodies direction or flight path (topspin, curveball)

29
Q

What is stability?

A

Measure of the easy or difficulty with which equilibrium can be disturbed

30
Q

What factors effect stability?

A

Base of support size (bigger support = greater stability

Body mass (more mass, harder to move)

Center of gravity (lower center of gravity = more stability

Increase horizontal distance between the intersection of the vertical line from the center of mass intersecting with the base of support and outside edge of the base of support

31
Q

What 4 steps are used to teach via qualitative analysis?

A

Preparation
Observation
Evaluation
Error correction

32
Q

The fluid through which a body moves generates what?

A

Surface and profile drag

33
Q

What is profile drag?

A

The air turbulence produced by an objects shape and size as it moves through air

34
Q

What is surface drag? (Skin friction)

A

Caused by surface toughness as a body moves through air

35
Q

Particle models are used for what?

A

When the object is airborne or in flight

36
Q

When is the stick figure model used?

A

Used when athletes are in contact with the ground or other earthbound objects

37
Q

When is the rigid body segment model used?

A

When a sophisticated 3D is used to represent each body segment
