CQ3 Flashcards
Motion
Application of linear motion, velocity, speed, acceleration, momentum in movement and performance context
Types of motion
Linear
Angular
General
Projectile.
Linear motion
When human body, limb or an object propelled by a human moves in the same direction at the same speed over the same distance (running)
Rectilinear motion
Movement in straight line
Curvilinear motion
Curved path movement
Angular motion
When human body, limb or an object moves along a circular path about some fixed point- sane time, direction and angle
Gymnast rotation around high bar
General motion
Combination of angular and linear
Common in athletics events
Golf swing head remains still but arms hips and chest move
Projectile motion.
Path of any object moving through air under own influence and does not have any kind of propulsion system
Figure skater
Distance
Linear distance
Is distance measured in s straight line
100m track linear distance b/w start and finish
S=d/t
Displacement
Measured by the length of a line drawn b/w start and finish points
Can be 0
Velocity
Measures the displacement of the body
V=displacement/time
Acceleration
The rate at which an objects velocity changes over time
A= V2-V1/ time
V1= initial velocity V2= final velocity
Momentum
The quality of motion that a body possesses
Mass(kg) X velocity
= (k.m/s)
Factors that affect momentum
Velocity: faster velocity, greater momentum
Mass difference: heavier object, travelling at same speed as lighter object, greater the momentum
Elasticity of body/ object: soft body tissue ( muscles, tendons, ligaments) absorbs much of the impact- acts as a cushion
Evasive skills: ….
Linear momentum
Objects travelling in a Straight line
Angular momentum
Objects as a result of rotation
Golf swing
Gymnast on bars
What affects angular momentum
- angular velocity- distance we hit s golf ball is determined by the speed at which we can move the golf club head
- mass of the object- greater mass, more effort needed to increase angular velocity
- location of the mass in respect to axis of rotation- usually where player is able to have control and impart considerable speed (baseball bat)
Stability
The resistance of a body to change in its equilibrium
