Kin 3341 chapter 9 work, power and energy. Q a blocker in volleyball needs to be able to perform a large number of repeated vertical jumps without tiring. Work: the amount of work done is equal to the average force that is applied (f) and the distance over which it is applied (d) I(cid:374) (cid:373)e(cid:272)ha(cid:374)i(cid:272)s (cid:858)(cid:449)o(cid:396)k(cid:859) has a spe(cid:272)ifi(cid:272) (cid:373)ea(cid:374)i(cid:374)g: it is ofte(cid:374) (cid:272)alled mechanical work, to differentiate it from other forms. Several forces might act at any one time, if two equal but opposite forces are applied to a stationary body, work = 0 because the sum of the forces is 0. If one force is greater than another, the resultant force * distance over applied = w. Work is measured in j (1 nm = 1 j) The concept of work is important in sport because we often have to manipulate it.
