Week 2 Revision

Which statement best describes biomechanics?

• Understand how equipment is used in sport

• Measure movements to achieve our best performance with consideration to body shape.

• Reduce ability to participate in sport

• Biomechanics is used in movies

The five variants of biomechanics are:

• Speed, Balance, Motion, Momentum, Levers

• Levers, Motion, Speed, Balance, Momentum

• Motion, Levers, Momentum, Balance, Speed

• Momentum, Levers, Balance, Forces, Motion

Motion is the term used that describes how a living or non-living object travels.

• True

• False

Which of the following is an example of Linear Motion?

• 
• 
• 
• 

Which statement best describes Angular Motion?

• A living or non-living object travels along a narrow path

• A living or non-living object travels with constant velocity

• A living or non-living object travels along a curved path

• A living or non-living object travels with interrupted velocity

Which of the following sports is best considered General Motion?

• 
• 
• 
• 

An example of an external force is completing a bicep curl

• True

• False

Forces are measured in ______

• Grams

• Kilograms

• Newtons (N)

• Knots

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

• What goes up, must come down.

• The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied.

• Whenever one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite on the first.

• An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at constant speed and in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force.

Which of the following sports is an example of the force, 'Changing Direction?'

• 
• 
• 
•
