BASIC CONCEPTS OF BIOMECHANICS MOTION & MOVEMENT
Motion • Linear motion – straight or curved line. Motion along a line. All parts same speed / direction. • Angular motion – circle or part of a circle. Movement around a fixed point or axis. General motion – combination of linear and angular motion
With a partner identify other sporting examples of: • Pure linear motion • Pure angular motion • General motion You need to be able to explain why they are each type of motion
Forces • A push or pull that alters or tends to alter, the state of motion of a body • “A force is that which alters or tends to alter a body’s state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line.” If a body changes direction or speed, a force has been applied
So give sporting examples of what a force can do. • Can it move something that is still to move? • E.G.,
Force …… can ……. • Cause a body at rest to move • Cause a moving body to change direction, accelerate or decelerate • Change an object’s shape.
Look at this example and see where you can work out the F or force and what effect it has.
Asprint start out of the blocks and then completing a shuttle sprint
What 2 factors will significantly affect the effects of FORCES being applied on the body or objects? • Size of the force • Direction of the force
The link between FORCE and MOTION? • Without forces being applied, there will be no change in motion! • Whether still of moving.
Laws of Motion • Sir Isaac Newton • 3 Laws of Motion : 1 INERTIA 2 ACCELERATION 3 ACTION & REACTION
1 Newton's First Law of Motion - INERTIA • This is the law of inertia, and states: • ‘Everybody at rest, or moving with constant velocity in a straight line, will continue in that state unless acted upon by an external force exerted upon it’ • Objects tend to remain either at rest or in straight line motion.
Newton's First Law of Motion - INERTIA • In simple terms, to change the motion of an object or performer a force must be applied. • A golf ball will only move from the tee when a force is applied to it from the golf club • A sprinter will only move out of the blocks when they exert force from their muscles
2 Newton's Second Law of Motion - ACCELERATION • This is the law of acceleration, and states: • ‘The acceleration of a body is proportional to the force causing it and the acceleration takes place in the direction in which the force acts’ • This law describes the relationship between net force, acceleration, and mass • Often described as: F = ma Force = mass x acceleration
2 Newton's Second Law of Motion - ACCELERATION • This law suggests that the greater the mass of an object, the greater the force required to give the same amount of acceleration and also the greater the force applied the greater the acceleration • For example, less force is applied to the shuttlecock than to a shot put in order for it to move • F - ma
2 Newton's Second Law of Motion - ACCELERATION • At a constant velocity the force of tire friction (F1) and the force of air resistance (F2) have a vector sum that equals the force applied by the cyclist (Fa). • The net force is therefore 0.
2 Newton's Second Law of Motion - ACCELERATION • More mass results in less acceleration when the same force is applied. • With the same force applied, the riders and the bike with twice as much mass will have half the acceleration, with all other factors constant. • Note that the second rider is not pedaling.
In small groups Newton’s 2nd law • One person is to use the bats and balls to devise a sporting example to explain how mass and acceleration affect each other. • Those taking part can only agree or disagree. • If you do disagree you take over as the teacher.
In small groups Newton’s 3nd law • Are you able to do the same for the third Law? • Those taking part can only agree or disagree. • If you do disagree you take over as the teacher.
3 Newton's Third Law of Motion – ACTION & REACTION • This is the law of reaction, and states: • ‘To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction’ • When a swimmer for example exerts a force on the starting blocks, the blocks exert an equal and opposite reaction force upon the swimmer, propelling them into the pool
3 Newton's Third Law of Motion – ACTION & REACTION • The American football player's foot is pushing against the ground, but it is the ground pushing against the foot that accelerates the player forward to catch a pass.
Applying Newton’s Laws – SPRINT START 1st Law – INERTIA - remains at set unless a force affects them 2nd Law – ACCELERATION - push harder to get more acceleration 3rd Law – ACTION & REACTION - action force is muscular force, reaction force pushes athlete off blocks
Free Flow Diagrams • Draw a free flow diagram using Newton's laws of motion to describe the resultant forces impacting on the ball. • If you agree with what is being drawn then allow them to continue. • If you disagree then you take over.
What is ‘mass’? • The amount of material of which it is made. • Shot put vs foam ball • Used to advantage in sports?
Centre of Mass • The point at which the body is balanced in all directions
What factors affect the centre of mass? • Distribution of mass – symmetrical • Body position and shape – unsymmetrical; males vs females • Changing positions – HJ (Western Roll vsFosbury Flop
Class task • With a partner one of you stand with your back against a wall. Your heels against the wall • Try and place a ball down on the floor without moving your feet. • See if your partner can place the ball further away? • Why do you fall forwards? • Or if you don’t fall why do you feel like falling?
Centre of Mass - summary • Distribution of weight around a balance point • The centre of a body's mass. In the human body it is the point, which all parts are in balance with one another. • It is dependant on current position in space, anatomical structure, gender.
What is ‘stability’? • Relates to how difficult it is to disturb a body from a balanced position
Stability • Is determined by : • Position of athlete’s centre of mass • Position of the athlete’s line of gravity= a line extending from the centre of mass vertically down to the ground. • Size of the athlete’s area of support
Task gently apply a force to move the person adopting different stances. • Adopt a wide stance arms down • Adopt a wide stance arms up • Feet together arms down • Feet together arms up • Is there a difference in how easy it was to move the person?
Application of force. • We talked about angular and linear motion at the beginning of the class, so how can we create these types of motions? • Investigate how you can cause these actions using the tennis ball. • Think about the force that you are applying and the centre of mass.
Centre of Mass and Application of Force • Linear motion – force passes through the centre of mass DIRECT FORCE • Angular motion – force passes outside the centre of mass ECCENTRIC FORCE
Class task throwing a tennis ball. • Throw a tennis ball into the air making it spin. • Draw a diagram that shows the centre of mass, the point of application of Force Action/Reaction • Direction of force. • What is the scientific name given to the force resulting in the angular motion.
Task • Using the bat and ball in your groups can you cause the ball to move in a linear motion by applying a direct force? • Can you apply an eccentric force to cause the body to move with an angular motion. • What would be a really good sporting example?
Class task Sprint start • Draw a free flow diagram of a sprinter in the blocks. • Explain the Laws of motion, mass, and force.
