Cards

Term
*also known as substance, or matter.
Definition
Mass
Term
*the attractive force between two objects that have mass
Definition
gravitational attraction
Term
*represents the earth's gravity pulling on the body.
Definition
Weight
Term
*resistance to change is known as? The more massive, the more resistance to change.
Definition
Inertia
Term
massive athletes tend to have a xxx strength to weight ration than do *smaller, less massive athletes; so they have tougher time stopping, starting, and changing direction.
Definition
Poorer
Term
*T/F it is possible for athletes to reduce their rate of acceleration and still increase speed?
Definition
True
Term
*the 2 terms used to define when an athlete or an object speeds up or slows down at a regular rate.
Definition
uniform acceleration
uniform deceleration
Term
*known as both speed and direction
Definition
Velocity
Term
the study of forces and their effects on
living systems
Definition
Biomechanics
Term
the science concerned with the effects of forces acting on objects
Definition
Mechanics
Term
objects are assumed to be perfectly rigid (segments of human body assumed to be rigid bodies linked together at joints)
Definition
Rigid-body mechanics
Term
Rigid body mechanics is subdivided into
Definition
statics
dynamics
Term
Rigid body mechanics:
the mechanics of objects at rest or moving at constant velocity
Definition
statics
Term
Rigid body mechanics:
the mechanics of objects in
accelerated motion
Definition
dynamics
Term
Dynamics is further subdivided into
Definition
kinematics
kinetics
Term
Dynamics is further subdivided:
deals with the description of motion
Definition
kinematics
Term
Dynamics is further subdivided:
deals with the forces that cause
or tend to cause changes in motion
Definition
kinetics
Term
- substance or matter
- is the measure of inertia
Definition
Mass
Term
- the property of an object to
resist changes in motion
Definition
Inertia
Term
- the measure of the force of
gravity acting on an object
Definition
Weight
Term
Newton’s First Law of Motion?
Definition
~ The Law of Inertia
Term
Object at rest stays at rest –
Object in motion stays in motion (unless acted upon by a force)

maintain current motion …
continue at same speed in same direction (i.e., maintain a constant velocity)
Definition
Newton’s First Law of Motion
~ The Law of Inertia
Term
Newton’s Second Law of Motion
Definition
~ The Law of Acceleration
Term
F = MA

Forces cause acceleration. Acceleration is the effect of forces.

Any time an object starts, stops, slows down, or changes direction, it is accelerating and a net external force is acting to cause this to happen.

(when the net force acting on an object is zero, its acceleration is also zero)
Definition
Newton’s Second Law of Motion
~ The Law of Acceleration
Term
Newton’s Third Law of Motion
Definition
~ The Law of Action-Reaction
Term
To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
(forces come in mirrored pairs…)
Definition
Newton’s Third Law of Motion
~ The Law of Action-Reaction
Term
– the branch of dynamics
concerned with the description of motion
Definition
Kinematics
Term
movement occurs in a straight line
Definition
Linear Motion
Term
– rotary motion or rotation
movement occurs around the axis

the body moves in circles about a fixed axis or central line …
Definition
Angular Motion
Term
a combination of linear and angular motions
Definition
General Motion
Term
- the rate of motion
Definition
Speed
Term
- when something slows down, speeds up, starts, stops, or changes direction (… the rate of change in velocity) –
Definition
Acceleration
Term
When an athlete speeds up or slows down at a regular rate (ex the increasing speed of a bLiobsled).
Definition
Uniform Acceleration/Decceleration
Term
- the rate of motion in a
specific direction
(speed & direction)
Definition
Velocity
Term
- the force of attraction
Definition
Gravity
Term
- the rate of change in velocity caused
by the force of gravity …

~ 9.81 m/s2 (32 ft/s2)
Definition
Gravitational Acceleration
Term
- energy due to the vertical position
and mass of an object …
Definition
Gravitational Potential Energy –
Term
- the pt in a body (or object) where the mass and weight are balanced in all
directions (gravitational forces are centralized)
Definition
Center of Gravity
Term
mass/volume

the amt of substance contained in a particular space…
Definition
Density –
Term
Living beings can shift their ? from one position to another, and training teaches athletes to position their ? in certain ways so that they can produce an optimal performance.
Definition
Center of gravity
Term
Gravity and Flight:
- force applied in ? and
? direction … the combined effect
or “resultant” sets the takeoff trajectory
Definition
vertical
horizontal
Term
a push or a pull
Definition
Force
Term
? comes in pairs (action-reaction)
Definition
Force
Term
To find the outcome of several forces acting on a single object, you would need to know what 3?
Definition
Magnitude
Point of application
Line of action
Term
- the equal and opposite force exerted
in reaction to a force exerted against the earth (see Fig. 2.10)
Definition
Ground Reaction Force
Term
Running Speed = ? x ?
Definition
Stride Length x Stride Frequency
Term
As ? increases, ground impact forces and the rate of loading increase……this exposes runners to a greater risk of injury.
Definition
velocity
Term
Fast runners must be quite strong and explosive……they need to respond to ? and produce ? (high RFD).
Definition
rapid loading of impact
peak force rapidly
Term
a force that acts in opposition to the
movement of one surface on another
Definition
Friction
Term
when the direction and amount
of applied force are known
Definition
Force Vector
Term
quantity that has direction
Definition
vector
Term
Projectiles

Athlete must manipulate, control,or assess flight path that occurs.

*which four?
Definition
- trajectory
- angle of release
- speed of release
- height of release
Term
Projectiles:
- horizontal & vertical force
- gravity

Definition
Trajectory
Term

Term
Projectiles:
- straight up and down
- angle > 45 degrees (ht over dist)
- angle < 45 degrees (dist over ht)
Definition
Angle of Release
Term
Projectiles
- faster straight up = higher
- at angles = more distance
Definition
Speed of Release
Term
Projectiles:

- allocation of forces between
vertical and horizontal vary
- velocity, ht, and angle of takeoff
(release) are all interrelated
Definition
Height of Release
