Motion and Forces (p ). Motion describes how objects travel in space and time The main variables in the description of motion are: –Speed (velocity)
Newton’s first law states that if the net force acting on an object is zero, the object remains at rest, or if the object is already moving, continues.

Swimmers Improved Much Faster Than Runners Men’s 400m run: 43.8 (1968) to (2011) Men’s 100m swim: 52.2 (1968) to (2011) V(run)  5V(swim)

English Channel Swim Approximately 21 miles Men’s record of 6hr 57m by Peter Stoychev is 3mph Women’s record of 7hr 25m by Yvetta Hlavacova is 2.8mph Sprint swim 100m in 50s is 2 m/s

Record Speeds over 50m StrokeMen(sec)Women(sec) Crawl >1904 Olympics Butterfly >1952 Olympics Backstroke >1904 Olympics Breaststroke Men – Women  3 sec

Arms or Legs? Legs only 100m in 80s  V = 1.25 m/s Arms only 100m in 60s  V = 1.67 m/s. All freestyle All freestyle Arms + legs 100m in 50s  V = 2 m/s The ratio of arm pull to leg kick is 1.3 The kick also plays a stabilising role in backstroke and freestyle

Symmetries Butterfly and breaststroke are laterally symmetric Crawl and backstroke are laterally asymmetric Other recreational strokes Trudgeon = crawl arms + breaststroke legs Inverted breaststroke Slow butterfly = butterfly arms + breaststroke legs Fast breastroke = breaststroke arms + butterfly legs sidestroke

Breaststroke Swimming is Different Speed is not constant Arm recovery must be underwater Part of head above water surface Drag force  V always decelerates Accel n by moving water backwards Deccel n by moving water forwards with knees Max speed of  2 m/s Min speed  0 m/s Created by periodic variation of net force on the body

Hydrophobic Polyurethane Swimsuits Banned by FINA in 2010 Past records ‘starred’ Increase buoyancy by trapping air  reduce water drag Drag on body in water  780  Drag on body in air Seamless, wrinkle-free, fibred texture, Up to 8% drag reduction (20 world records at July 2009 Champs 30 mins to put on, $500 each, last 1-2 races !

Water Temperature FINA Rules for Swimming competition specify 25-28C (77-82F) Drag = ½  AV 2  viscosity of water Density fall with T is a much smaller effect than water viscosity change  as T up to about 15% on range allowed

Drag Force = ½ c  AV 2 Body Shape Matters

Inge De Bruin’s Drag Effect Compared With Many Other Swimmers With Many Other Swimmers A significantly smaller c  A factor at all speeds …. De Bruin former World records 50 &100m free 100m fly

Friction drag cAV 2 Friction drag: in the thin layer of water near the body  cAV 2 It is higher if flow is turbulent (c  ) rather than smooth (c  ) Pressure drag Pressure drag: fast swimmers create high pressure in front AV 2  [p(high) – p(low)] and low pressure behind  AV 2  [p(high) – p(low)] Wave drag Wave drag: energy lost making surface waves. As V  the wavelength  and amplitude . Wavelength a bit longer than swimmer Swim more underwater! puts him in a speed-limiting wave trough. Swim more underwater! 15m is the max allowed at the start and from each turn The Three Main Drag Forces

Turbulence The Onset of turbulence occurs when Reynolds Number = VL/  500,000 Average Speed V = 2 m/s Body surface size L = 2m Water density  = 1.00 kg/m 3 Water dynamic viscosity  = 0.9  Ns/m 2  = / Reynolds Number  450,000  Reynolds Number  450,000 Small variations in L and V will produce turbulence

Rowing and Paddling in Numbers How does the speed of the boat depend on the number of rowers? Drag on boat  V 2  wetted surface area of boat  V 2  L 2 Volume of boat  L 3  N – the number of crew Drag  V 2 N 2/3 Crew Power overcoming drag = N  P = V  Drag  V 3 N 2/3 P is the constant power exerted by each (identical) rower V  N 1/9 With a cox V  N 1/3 /[N + 1/3 ] 2/9 if cox is third the weight of a rower

Moscow Olympic Kayak Times Are race times T  1/N 1/9 ? Race times in the 1-person and 2-person and in the 2-person and 4-person races should be in the ratio of 2 1/9 = 1.08 Men’s 1000m events: Women’s 500m events:

Results of 1980 Olympic coxless races (N = 1, 2, 4) + coxed N = 8 Distance is 2000 metres N Time, T(sec) T = (2000)/V  N V  N 0.11  N 1/9 But with a cox N = 2: T = s N = 2: T = s N = 4: T = s N = 4: T = s Better without one!

The Impact of A Cox Adds weight to the crew but not to power Lightweight cox is N  N + ½ effect T(with cox)/T(coxless) = [(N + ½)/N] 2/9 = (25/16) 1/9 = 1.05 for N = 2 = (81/64) 1/9 = 1.03 for N = Olympics
