Q

What happens to work in the example of benching up and then down?

A

Weight benched upward was positive work and going down is negative work. The total displacement is 0. Therefore no mechanical work!

Q

What kind of work is exerted in the bench example?

A

Physiological work. Energy was expended to move the object, but no mechanical work!

16
Q

What is gravitational energy?

A

Due to the position of an object relative to earth

17
Q

What is gravitational PE related to?

A

Related to weight, elevation, height of the piece to some reference point

18
Q

Equation for grav PE?

A

PE= mgh or WH

19
Q

What is strain energy?

A

Due to the deformation of an object

20
Q

What is the relationship of deformation to strain energy?

A

Linear relationship. As deformation increases, so does strain. Vice versa.

21
Q

What is strain energy related to?

A

Objects stiffness, material properties, and deformation

22
Q

What is the equation for SE?

A

SE = 1/2kx^2

K= spring constant 
X= amount of deformation
23
Q

How is PE, KE, and SE related to a sports?

A

Energy possessed by the athletes due to motion, position and deformation

24
Q

Law of conservation of energy?

A

Energy total n a system stays constancy, however energy in system can be changed from one form to another or transferred

25
Q

What can work/energy principles prove?

A

Can explain the transferring of energy like catching a ball

26
Q

How do muscles absorb energy?

A

Muscles have to do negative energy to absorb the energy. The force depended on the displacement, if too much force relative to displacement. Body will get injured for not absorbing all the energy

27
Q

What can help absorb energy?

A

Pads (shock absorbing substances)

28
Q

How can pass help landing?

A

Maximizes the displacement and minimizes force

29
Q

What is power?

A

The rate of doing work

30
Q

What is the equation for power?

A

P = U/t

U= FD

P=FD/T

V= D/T

Therefore, P = FV

31
Q

What is the limitations of power produced by our muscles?

A

Contraction with high velocity will have less force. Vice versa. Inverse relationship.

32
Q

What is the best choice of power?

A

Use the medium force and medium velocity to maximize power

33
Q

At what percentage does power peak in max contraction velocity?

A

35-60%

34
Q

What is work?

A

The product of force and the displacement in the direction of that force
