Analysis of Linear Motion
Firstly, Select a Sporting activity (any sport but BOWLING)
Secondly, Identify a minimum of 4 forces involve in performing this sport
Thirdly, and how they are apply LIST the forces followed by explanations. (20pts)
In addition, Discuss how the following FOUR concepts apply to the activity select. (20pts):
Inertia, Impulse, Work, Kinetic Energy (List, then explain each.)
Contact Forces: friction, tension, support/normal, air resistance, spring, rotational torque, ground reaction
Distance Forces: gravitational, electrical, magnetic Anatomical: muscular force
Linear motion, also call rectilinear motion[1], is one-dimensional motion along a straight line, and can therefore be describe mathematically using only one spatial dimension.
The linear motion can be of two types: uniform linear motion with constant velocity or zero acceleration; and non-uniform linear motion with variable velocity or non-zero acceleration.
The motion of a particle (a point-like object) along a line can be describe by its position {\displaystyle x}, which varies with {\displaystyle t} (time).
An example of linear motion is an athlete running 100m along a straight track.[2]
Linear motion is the most basic of all motion.
According to Newton’s first law of motion, objects that do not experience any net force
will continue to move in a straight line with a constant velocity until they are subject to a net force.
Under everyday circumstances, external forces such as gravity
and friction can cause an object to change the direction of its motion, so that its motion cannot be describe as linear
