For a human standing upright, what is located approximately at their bellybutton?
Centre of Gravity
100

What sport uses projectile motion?

Football, rugby, netball, shotput, etc

100

True or false? Body segments need to be used at the correct time to give maximum momentum

True

100

What is a force?

Push or a pull

200

What is Force = mass x acceleration?

Newton's 2nd law 

200

Who has a higher centre of gravity a)a midget on a skateboard or b) a midget on stilts

b)

200

What is the optimal angle of release for distance?

45 degrees

200

What happens when the timing and sequence of a movement is wrong?

Looks uncoordinated and not produce maximum force

200

What is acceleration?

Speeding up

300

What is Newton's first law?

Law of inertia

300

What is another way of becoming more stable

Lower your centre of gravity

300

What is an object that is subject only to the force of gravity

Projectile

300

What is Force Summation?

adding the force of one body to the next so that momentum builds

300

A magician pulls a tablecloth out from under dishes and glasses on a table without disturbing them. What principle is that referring to?

Newton's 1st law

400

Why do objects with greater mass have greater inertia?

More mass has to be moved or stopped

400

True or false, the position of a person's limbs determines the location of their centre of gravity?

True - this will affect their base of support and in turn their centre of gravity.

400

What is the path of a projectile through the air called?

Trajectory

400

What does it mean by sequencing of body parts?

Move the joints supported by the large muscles that are in the centre of the body first, before the joints supported by the small muscles that are found at the ends of the arms and legs.

400

What is a force that opposes movement?

Friction

500

How does Newton's 3rd law apply to walking?

Action force is your foot applying a force to the ground and the reaction force is the ground applying a force to your foot. Forces are equal

500
What is the balance and stability principle that can be manipulated to create movement?
Line of gravity - movement is created by imbalance. This happens when the lie of gravity goes outside the base of support.
500

What 3 things affect the trajectory of a projectile?

Height of release, speed of release, angle of release

500

The greater the range of movement the........( finish the sentence)

the higher the speed of the extremities on release/contact

If an object weighed 44kg and had a force of 132N applied to it, would it accelerate faster, slower or the same than an object weighing 210kg with a force of 630N applied?

Same

F=mxa
