force Flashcards
Force
Force is any interaction (push/pull)
What is the equation for force
Force= mass x acceleration
What are force examples
1- Get objects moving 2- Stop objects from moving 3- Change the direction of a moving object 4- Change the speed 5- Balance force
External forces
Interactions between the body and the environment
Example of external forces
Contact
- Friction
- Air resistance
- Water resistance
Non-contact
- Gravity
Internal forces
Structures of the body that interact to produce movement
Examples of internal forces
Action of muscles and tendons that act together to product force that causes movement
Contact definition
Objects that come into direct force
Non contact definition
Act on objects without coming into direct contact
Simultaneously definition
body parts move at the same time to produce forces
- accuracy/ maximum power
Sequentially definition
Combination of forces produced by different parts of the body, acting together to create more force
Application of force by the body and equipment
- body is used as a vehicle for applying force to an object
- forces by the muscles, the body creates the movement of the limb to make contact
