Forces and linear kinetics
- Force
oAn interaction that causes a change in motion of an object
oForce is a vector (has magnitude and direction)
oInternal – muscle/bone
Tensile/compressive/shear forces
oExternal
Gravity (-9.81m/s)
ď‚·Impacts weight as it is mass x gravity
Contact: once we start hitting objects
- Ground reaction force – only vertical

Force over time
These two are the same
Acceleration and force are the same
ď‚·Numbers will be different
Impart most forces in deepest level ie bottom of squat
oNet force (resultant)
ď‚·Ultimate direction and magnitude
Co-linear forces
ď‚·Forces acting in the same direction
Concurrent forces
oIf one is bigger - movement

Take pictures; use arrows to describe where you think forces are
oStatic analysis
Equilibrium
ď‚·Sum of all forces on body = 0
ď‚·If not 0 = unbalanced = movement

Document Summary
Force: an interaction that causes a change in motion of an object, force is a vector (has magnitude and direction, internal muscle/bone. Impacts weight as it is mass x gravity. Ground reaction force only vertical o o. Impart most forces in deepest level ie bottom of squat: net force (resultant) Concurrent forces: if one is bigger - movement, free body diagrams. Take pictures; use arrows to describe where you think forces are: static analysis. Sum of all forces on body = 0. If not 0 = unbalanced = movement o. Overcomes larger amount of friction between static and dynamic (when its moving) Horizontal; direction: green: breaking force, then we have compulsive force. Vertical: impact peak; little jolt in green, if wearing trainers; no little impact peak, blue; loading phase, big dip in blue; knee flexion little period of weightlessness, yellow; force starts to raise again blue/yellow to push off.
