    This document discusses biomechanics concepts related to motion, force, and Newton's laws of motion. It defines three types of motion - linear, angular, and general - and provides sport-related examples of each. It also explains that force can cause motion, change motion, or change an object's shape. Newton's three laws of motion are outlined: the law of inertia, the law of acceleration, and the law of action-reaction. Examples are given applying each law to a penalty kick in soccer.

    Motion

    Motion is the movement of an object and can be divided into 3 subcatagories:-

    Linear Motion
    Angular Motion General Motion

    Linear Motion

    This is when a body moves in a straight or curved line, with all the parts moving in the same direction, the same distance and at the same speed.

    There are many examples of this that are evident in sport.


    An obvious example is a performer sitting in a toboggan going straight down a hill- evidence o straight line linear motion. Another example is a performer competing in the Skelton Bob, going around the track- an example of curved linear motion of the body

    Angular Motion

    This is when the body or part of the body moves in a whole, or part, circular motion about a particular point which is also referred to as the axis of rotation. Again there are examples of this type of motion in sport. One example is the uneven bars in gymnastics. The performer is partaking in angular motion around the bar, therefore the bar is the axis of rotation.

    A second example is the front crawl in swimming, the arm is rotating in the water therefore the should joint is the axis of rotation.

    General motion

    This is the combination of both linear and angular motion in one movement. This is the most commonly seen motion as most actions in sport require both types of movement in order to be fluid and efficient. A javelin throw is a great example of general motion. The torso and javelin show linear motion as the move in the same direction, at the same distance and same speed.

    The should and ankle joints show angular motion with the joints being the two axis of rotation for the arm and foot.

    Force

    Force can perfrom one of the 3 functions:Cause a body at rest to move Cause a moving body to change direction, accelerate and decelerate Change an objects shape The extent to which forces have on the functions above are dependant on where the force is applied, size and direction of the applied force. The latter variable will have the most obvious effect on change of motion in regards to Newtons Laws Of Motion Line of application of force will also affect the subsequent motion in relation to centre of mass.

    Newtons Law of Motion


    Without force, there can be no motion This quote from Newton Emphasises the direct relation between motion and force, and is explained in more detail by his 3 laws of motion. These laws goven the characteristics of all motion in sport.

    Newtons 1st Law- Law Of Inertia

    A Body continues in state of rest or uniform velocity unless acted upon by an external force

    This can be explained in a sporting example, a penalty kick in football.


    The body (the football) continues in a state of rest (on the penalty spot) until acted upon by an external force (the footballers boot)

    Newtons 2nd Law- Law of acceleration

    when a force acts on an object, the rate of change of movement experienced by the object is proportional to the size of force and takes place in the direction in which the force acts

    Continuing with the penalty kick example, the law can be explained. Force acts upon the object (force of the footballers boot on the ball), the rate of change in motion (acceleration of the ball) is proportional to the size of the force (harder shot means quicker speed of shot) and takes direction in which the force acts (the ball will accelerate towards the goal

    Newtons 3rd law


    For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction Whenever an object exerts a force onto an other, there will be an opposite and equal reaction exerted by the second on the first. Continuing with the sporting example, the penalty hits the crossbar, for every action (ball hitting the bar) there is an equal and opposite reaction (the crossbar exerts an equal force to rebound the ball away from the goal.
