applications of principles/laws of science in sports (taking at least 5 different sports).
Answers
Answer:
Newton's laws of motion form the basis for principles used in sport movements. Methods of training that depart from these laws would not make sense mechanically. Tips for efficient sport performances are built around these laws and principles.
First, it helps to know that there are two basic types of motion. These come into play in combination when applying mechanical principles to sport skills:
1. Linear motion occurs when an object or person travels in a straight line, as when sledding across a level surface.
2. Angular motion occurs when an object or person turns about a center point, axis, or fulcrum and does not travel from place to place. It is common in diving and gymnastic skills when athletes rotate, twist, or spin.
Answer:
If a baseball player hits a ball with double the force, the rate at which the ball will accelerate (speed up) will be doubled. Football players can slow down, stop, or reverse the direction of other players depending upon how much force they can generate and in which direction.
