Biomechanics

the science that studies living things from a mechanical perspective. Using principles of physics, biomechanics helps to develop and refine human movement.

Forces

Defined as a push or pull. It can either;\\

Change the shape of the object

Move the object Formula = Mass x Acceleration

Inertia

The tendency for a body to resist a change in its state of motion whether it is at rest or moving.

Impulse

The change in momentum in an object (receiving force, absorbing force) Formula \= Force x Time

Newtons First Law of Motion

The law of Inertia states that a body will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

Newtons Second Law of Motion

The law of Force/Acceleration states that a force applied to an object will produce a change in Acceleration in the direction applied, which is directly proportional to the size.

Newtons Third Law of Motion

The law of action/reaction states that every action will have an equal or opposite reaction.

Newtons First Law of Angular Momentum

The law of inertia states that momentum of a body remains constant unless acted upon by an external torque.

Newtons second law of angular momentum

A torque applied will produce a change in angular motion in the direction that is applied.

Newtons third law of Angular Momentum

For every torque there is equal and opposite torque

Momentum

is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its velocity. Measured in kg m/s.

Momentum Formula

Mass x velocity

Summation of Momentum

the sequential and coordinated movement of each body segment to produce maximum velocity

Speed

How quickly an object covers distanceSpeed\= Distance/time

Velocity

How quickly an object is changing position, relative to its starting position.Velocity \= Displacement/Time

Acceleration

How quickly an object changes its rate of motion is called acceleration and is using the following equation;

Acceleration = change in velocity/time

Angular Displacement

A measurement of how the object moves and is measured in degrees

Angular Distance

A measurement of degrees an object passes through from start to finish

Angular Speed

Is measured of how quickly angular distance is covered

Angular Velocity

Is the measure of how quickly the object has moved from its starting point and in what direction it has moved.

Angular Acceleration

Is the measure of the rate of change in angular position. It can be positive and negative

Projectile Motion

An object or body that is launched into the air and attached only by the forces of gravity and air resistance can be considered as a projectile.

Impacts on Projectile Motion

Angle of Release

Speed of Release

Height of Release

Equilibrium

An object is said to be in equilibrium when there are no unbalanced forces or torques acting on it.

Static Equilibrium = must be completely motionless

Dynamic Equilibrium = Velocity must be constant

Factors Affecting Stability

Line of gravity

Base of Support

Centre of Gravity

Body Mass

Friction

2 forces which affect the projectile in motion

Gravity (vertical)

Air Resistance (Horizontal)

Levers

A lever is a simple machine consisting of a rigid bar that can be made to rotate about an axis in order to expert a force on another object.

First Class Lever

Have the axis located in between the effort force and resistance force.

Second Class Lever

Have the resistance force located between the effort force and the axis

Third Class Lever

Have the effort force located between the resistance force and the axis.

Mechanical Advantage

Can be calculated by force arm/resistance arm1 \= lever built to increase force1 \= lever is balanced between speed and purpose

Conservation of Angular Momentum

Moment of Inertia (mass x radius^2) x angular velocity.A decrease in inertia will be met with an increase in Angular Velocity.Angular Velocity is increased if radius is low

ATP Breakdown

ATP is the energy source for all muscular movements. The ATP is split when a phosphate group is removed from the molecule. When it is split it releases energy.

Creatine Phosphate (Chemical)

Carbohydrates

Sugar and starches e.g. bread, pasta, fruit, vegetables.The bodys preferred source of fuel under exercise conditions.
