What is the equation for Speed?

• Distance divided by Displacement

• Displacement divided by Distance

• Distance divided by Time

• Displacement divided by Time

What is the equation for Velocity?

• Distance divided by Displacement

• Displacement divided by Time

• Distance divided by Time

• Change in Velocity divided by change in time

What is the equation for acceleration?

• Distance divided by time

• Displacement divided by time

• Change in velocity divided by change in time

• Change in speed divided by change in time

Which of the following WILL NOT increase stability?

• Increase the base of support

• Raise your Centre of Gravity

• Move your line of gravity towards the oncoming support

• Increasing your mass

Why do some athlete deliberately reduce their stability?

• It makes them more mobile

• It increases their ability to resist disruptions to equalibrium

• It slows their response to a stimulus
