Biomechanics

All will be able to:•Define velocity, displacement, acceleration, momentum and impulse•State the differences between scalars and vectors•Define Newton’s first and third laws of motion and apply them in different sporting situations such as sprinting, jumping, kicking and flight.

Some will also be able to: •Distinguish between velocity and acceleration, momentum and impulse•Define Newton’s second law of motion and apply it in different sporting situations such as sprinting, jumping, kicking and flight.

Learning Outcomes are:

SpeedVelocityDistance

DisplacementForce

ImpulseAcceleration/deceleration

Average accelerationVectorsScalarsInternal

forces/external forcesGravity

Air resistanceFriction

Define the following terms and give a sporting example of its application:

InertiaNewton’s first Law /second

law/third law Momentum

The forces involved in runningGround reaction force

And when you have you answers or think you’re ready…………….try the interactive task on

whiteboard………………………and take the test on the whiteboard

But first a quick video on newton’s laws of motion to

start us off…….

Then do the exam Qs

(page 106)

Or use kerboodle

Speed date to check you answers and

explain them1
