All will be able to:• Name and define Newton’s 3 Laws of Motion• Apply and explain each Law to in relation to at least 1 sporting example
Learning Outcomes are:
Newton’s Laws of Motion
• The size and direction of force applied to an object determines the size and direction of acceleration
• A force is needed to change a body’s state of motion
• To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
• F = Mass x accelertion
Newton’s Laws of Motion
• When a performer runs down a track, that performer generates an muscular force that is applied to the ground
• The greater the force applied to the ground, the greater the acceleration of the performer
• Which law applies here?
Newton’s Laws of Motion
• When a performer kicks a football and applies a force by contracting their muscles, this causes the football to accelerate.
• Which law applies here?
Newton’s Laws of Motion
• The direction and acceleration of the football is proportional to the force applied by the footballer kicking the ball and in which direction the force is applied.
• Which law applies here?

Task 2 - Explain how Newton’s 3 Laws of Motion apply to:
A high jumperKicking a ball
SprintingA sprinting start using blocks
Use diagrams as necessary to explain
Task 1 - Can you explain how
forces are functioning to:
•Cause something to move
•Change direction
•Accelerate
•Decelerate
2012 – a) Indentify two of Newton’s Laws of Motion and explain how these could be applied to improve performance in a sporting activity of your choice (4)
The following is indicative of the material that might be included in the answer.
•Newton’s First Law states that ‘a body will remain at rest or at a constant velocity in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force’. It means that any object that is not accelerating has no net force acting on it – the forces cancel out. This can be applied to any athlete is stationary or maintaining a constant speed in a fixed direction. For example, a 100m sprinter in the middle phase of the race (constant velocity) or in the blocks (stationary).
•Newton’s Second Law states that ‘the acceleration of a body is proportional to the force causing it, and the acceleration takes place in the direction that the force acts’. The equation used is Force = mass x acceleration. The most common example used is a sprinter accelerating from his/her blocks.
•Newton’s Third Law states that ‘for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction’. This means that whenever an object exerts a force on another, then it experiences an equal forced exerted back on it in the opposite direction. Reaction forces have many applications within sport including the sprint start, jumping and kicking a ball.
•Candidates will use a range of examples and credit should be given for these. It is impossible to cover all sports within the mark scheme

Define the following terms………………..
Impulse
• Force is not applied instantaneously. • Force is applied for a period of time• i.e. tennis ball stays on face of racket for 5-8ms
• Impulse = Force x Time• Also = Change in momentum • Therefore – force x time = mass x velocity
– Impulse can be increased by increasing the force applied or increasing the time over which the force is applied.

Eg studies into sprint start positions:
Types of sprint starts
There are three types of sprint starts:
•Bunch or Bullet start - The toes of the rear foot are
approximately level with the heel of the front foot and both feet are placed well back from the starting line. The toe to
toe distance is said to be 25 to 30 cm.
•Medium start - the knee of the rear leg is placed opposite a point in the front half of the front foot. The toe to toe
distance said to be 40 to 55cms.
•Elongated start - the knee of the rear leg is level
with or slightly behind the heel of the
front foot. The toe to toe
distance is 60 to 70 cms
Research has suggested that a faster start can be achieved if the athlete remains in the blocks for a longer time in order to gain a good starting “impulse”
The best start is the “medium” start
Impulse Graphs
The negative impulse from the footfall is less that the push phase of the stride = acceleration
Exam Questions!
Heptathletes are required to complete the 200 metre sprint, as shown in Figure1.
• A 200 metre runner must exert a large force in a short period of time to generate an impulse.
• Sketch and label a graph to show the impulse generated during the acceleration phase of a 200 metre race.
• (3 marks)
Mark Scheme
A. X Axis – (time)/milliseconds/secondsB. Y Axis – (force)/Newton’sC. Shape of graph – negative and positive components of force shown with negative firstD. Positive impulse clearly larger than negative impulseE. Positive and negative (force) labelled
A & B. axis must be labelled with correct units to be credited. Accept with just units
E. only awarded if negative impulse is first in the diagram
Tennis example:
•Looser strings in a tennis racket will allow the force to be transferred
over a longer time creating more “impulse”
•Research involving spiders born in space (NASA research!) found that
spiders in space would construct their webs with threads of different
diameters making their web more stable. This research would unexpectedly
benefit tennis in changing the position of the “sweet spot” on a racket. If the
sweet spot is nearer the “toe” of the racket, greater power can also be
generated.
•The major difficulty in designing a high-performance tennis racquet arises
from the difference between the position of the maximum speed (the toe) and
the position of optimum vibration (the sweet spot).
•In a typical older design, the sweet spot is at the geometric centre of the
strung area of the racquet. The impact of the ball on the sweet spot causes
minimal strain to the player's hand. However, the average player tends to
strike the ball farther out toward the toe, and to obtain maximum power on
serves, it is necessary to strike the ball as close as possible to the toe. So,
performance can be improved by moving the sweet spot outward.
IMPULSE AND SPORT
2. DECREASING MOMENTUM• A cricket ball is hit towards a fielder. The fielder wishes
to stop the ball (take momentum back to zero).– Would he apply a large force over a short period of time
– Would he apply a small force over a longer period of time.
• Which method is likely to be more successful in catching the ball?
• Therefore in stopping a force we usually increase the time component so we can reduce the peak force!
“Flattening the Arc”
• Usually refers to the movement pattern of the arm where the centre of the throw or swing is flattened. A way of increasing accuracy in hitting or throwing. Eg hockey push pass and golf swing.
• FLATTENING THE SWING ARC– Good technique can ↑ contact time with a ball during collision
sports • May provide opportunity for ↑ force application in desired
direction (hockey drag flick)
• May also provide ↑ accuracy, however usually occurs with a ↓ in force application
IMPULSE AND ACCURACY
Flattening the arc increases the likelihood of application of force
to object in desired direction of travel by creating a zone of flat
line motion
A more curved arc reduces the likelihood of a
successful outcome by reducing the opportunity for application of force in the intended direction of
travel
