Q

Why do we always break the motion into X and Y components (displacement, velocity, acceleration)?

A
  • Because they are INDEPENDENT
  • Because the vertical component is influenced by gravity (x) and the horizontal(y) component is not à Allows us to use different equations
  • both are vectors.

  1. Buoyancy
  2. Drag
  3. Lift
  4. Magnus effect
  5. Principle of Spin
104
Q

What are the 4 forces acting on a swimmer?

A

Weight is going down
Buoyancy is going up
Thrust is going forward
Drag is going backward

105
Q

What is the definition of buoyancy?

A

buoyancy s the vertical force supporting an object in a fluid

106
Q

What is archimedes’ principle?

A

” a body partially or fully immersed in fluid will be buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body”

this is the reason why a heavier-than-water object floats
(ex. ship’s bottom has a large area therefore will displace more water, ship will descend until the buoyant force is equal to the vessel’s weight

used to indirectly measure density

107
Q

What is the formula for density?

What is the unit for density?

A

p=m/v

p=density
m=mass
v=volume

(kg/m3)

108
Q

What is the density of water at room temperature?

What is the density of air?

Are muscle, bone and fat denser than water?

Are bodies uniformly dense?

A

1000 kg/m3 at room temperature (0 degrees)

1.29 kg/m3

muscle and bone are denser than water, but fat is less dense than water

bodies aren’t uniformly dense but are assumed to be

109
Q

What forces increase with depth?

What is the result of these increased forces?

What is buoyant force?

What direction does it act in/

What is the center of buoyancy?

What is the displaced fluid’s weight equal to?

What is the equation for buoyant force?

A

external forces

resultant is a vertical force through the center of volume called the center of buoyancy

buoyant force is force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by a submerged body

the direction is vertical through the center of volume (AKA center of buoyancy)

displaced fluid’s weight is equal to fluids volume times its density times g (9.81 m/s2)

Fbuoyant = volume x density x 9.81

110
Q

What is the definition of relative density?

A

density of one body relative to the density of water (or a fluid medium)

denser bodies sink, less dense bodies float

relative density greater than 1 = sink
relative density less than 1 = float

111
Q

What happens when center of buoyancy and center of gravity are different?

A

When center of volume/buoyancy and venter of gravity are misaligned, a moment of force is created that could tip the boat

112
Q

What do flotation devices create?

A

flotation devices should create a moment of force to bring the head to the surface and the mouth out of the water especially when the person is unconscious

113
Q

What are the 3 types of drag for swimmers?

A

1) form drag (pressure difference between the front and back of
the swimmer) “pressure difference”

2) wave drag (the resistance of a wave) “pushing water”

3) surface drag (body surface and water molecules) “friction”

114
Q

What is the formula for pressure?

What is the unit?

What is the average air pressure at sea level?

How much pressure is created by 1 pascal?

Are pascals or kilopascals more commonly used?

A

P = F/A = force/area

the units are pascals (Pa) or kilopascals (kPa)

101.325 kPa

1 pascal is the pressure created by a 1 newton force applied to 1 square meter

Since this is a relatively small pressure, kilopascals are more commonly used

115
Q

What is the cause of form drag?

What is the formula?

What are 2 ways we reduce form drag?

A

due to turbulent flow around an object

Ffd = (-1/2Cdrag)(p)(An)(v2)

Cdrag = drag coefficient
p = fluid density
An = surface area perpendicular to motion
v = velocity through fluid

Streamlining reduces turbulence and drag
Decreasing frontal area is also an important factor but minimizing changes in velocity is important

116
Q

What is the cause of wave drag?

What creates a bow wave?

A

due to interaction between two surfaces of different viscosity
(ex. bow wave)

An object moving along the surface of water will create a bow wave. Work is required to lift the water and thus slow the motion. This is the reason why swimming underwater is easier. The amount of this drag depends upon the shape of the leading edge.

117
Q

What is the cause of viscous or surface drag?

What is the formula for surface drag?

A

due to interaction of molecules moving past each other at the boundary layer at slow velocities
(ex. when flow is laminar-Stoke’s law)

Fvd = (-6) (pi) (r) (n) (v)

r=radius of sphere
n=viscosity of fluid
v=velocity through fluid

118
Q

Are swimmers faster underwater or above water?

A

underwater, no wave drag

119
Q

Does pulling or sitting in create more watts in cycling?

A

pulling

120
Q

What is bernoulli’s principle about lift?

What is the formula for bernoulli’s principle?

A

lift force on an air foil may be explained by bernoulli’s principle

higher air flow on top of wing reduces pressure producing a lift force (Bernoulli)

Flift = (Clift) (p) (Ap) (v2)

Clift = coefficient of lift
p = fluid density
Ap = area parallel to velocity
v = relative velocity of air foil

121
Q

What is the relationship between lift and drag?

A

Angle of attack changes relationship between lift and drag

Too steep creates excessive drag
Not steep enough reduces lift

122
Q

What is the magnus effect caused by?

A

possibly due to bernoulli principle or turbulent flow around roughly surfaced object

roughness can be caused by laces (baseball), dimples (golf ball), wear (table tennis) or nap (lawn tennis)

123
Q

What are 4 things that are an example of the magnus effect?

A

Magnus effect
* Distance
* Golf
* Curve ball
* Soccer

124
Q

What are 2 things that have an unpredictable trajectory?

A

Unpredictable trajectory
* Knuckle ball
* Volleyball serve

125
Q

What are 2 things that have a predictable trajectory?

A

Predictable trajectory
* Fast ball
* Football

126
Q

What are 3 things that have rebound control?

A

Rebound control
* Basketball pass
* Basketball shot
* Golf (putting backspin on the ball)

127
Q

What is the relationship between spin and a volleyball serve?

A

No spin and slow velocity creates an unstable
and unpredictable trajectory

A minor wind gust will disturb the trajectory as
will an imbalance in the ball

128
Q

Which sport has equipment that helps deal with friction?

A

In football, players use gloves as a means to help control the ball, particularly when making catches. In order to develop better gloves, an understanding of how materials actually adhere (stick) to each other is required. Scientists are constantly searching for new and innovative ideas for adhesive substances. Often, new
substances are modeled after examples found in nature. In 2008, a group of scientists developed an adhesive material modeled after the foot pads of the gecko.

129
Q

What are examples of lift force in sport?

A

Discus

130

What are the 4 tenets of movement analysis?

A
  1. Describe the task (anatomical description).
  2. Identify the critical features and provide teaching clues
    * critical features – teaching/intervention cues.
  3. Use the Movement Principles to break down and describe
    the task
    * range of motion, coordination, segmental interaction, force – motion, force-time, inertia, balance
  4. Use biomechanical principles to describe the strategy you
    used to identify the critical features and movement principles of the task.
