Linear Kinetics - continued
Ground reaction force in activities Runner … Increases stride over slow-moderate speed range Longer stride produces GRF’s w/larger counteractive horizontal components Longer stride lengths increases shock transmission up the extremity ( stress on the knees)
Ground reaction force in activities High jumper Move with large horizontal velocity with slight downward directed vertical velocity at stride before take-off GRF reduces horizontal velocity & creates upward vertical velocity
Friction Acts at the interface of surfaces in the opposite direction of the motion Unit: N Magnitude determines ease/difficulty of motion Example: R FaFa FsFs
Friction Maximum static friction (F m ) Kinetic friction (F k ) – constant magnitude friction generated between two surfaces in contact during motion
Friction What factors determine the amount of force needed to move an object? Coefficient of friction () interaction between two surfaces Unit-less Relative ease of gliding Influencing factors?
Friction Normal reaction force Greater the force, greater the friction Can we decrease the reaction force? Can we reduce or increase the friction? Alter the coefficient of friction? Examples???
Friction in everyday life Does greater contact area generate more friction? Shoes/feet & surface interface Rolling friction: deformation during contact Influenced by weight, radius & deformity Bike tires
Friction Effect of fluid? Synovial fluid Speed skating Bowling ball
Collisions Momentum: the quantity of motion that an object/body possesses Product of mass and velocity M = mv m = 80 kg v = 7 m/s m = 90 kg v =6 m/s
Collisions Momentum Principle of conservation of momentum …..in the absence of external forces, the total momentum of a system remains constant… M 1 = M 2 m 1 v 1 + m 2 v 2 = (m 1 + m 2 )(v)
Collisions Impulse: product of a force and the time interval over which the force acts Impulse = Ft - from Newton #2 F = ma F = m(v 2 -v 1 /t) Ft = (mv) 2 – (mv) 1 Ft = M
