.Applying forces in sport
Sprinting
1st law - sprinter has to exert a force in order to change the state of motion
2nd law - Force of acceleration is given a direction and so the performer will move in the desired direction
3rd law - Force being applied to the ground causes acceleration force for the performer giving it direction and magnitude
Air resistance, Gravity, friction of feet to track are other forces affecting the performers inertia
High Jumping
1st law- Performer has to exert a force in order to change state of motion i.e, pre - jump and pre - run up
2nd law - Direction of force changes from being predominantly horizontal to vertical, allowing the performer to change direction of motion
