| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Q: What is biomechanics? | A: The study of forces and the effects of those forces on and within the human body. |
| Q: Why is biomechanics important? | A: It improves performance, reduces injury risk, and helps design effective equipment. |
| Q: What is Newton’s First Law? | A: Objects stay at rest or in motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force. |
| Q: What is Newton’s Second Law? | A: Force = mass × acceleration (F = ma). |
| Q: What is Newton’s Third Law? | A: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. |
| Q: What is linear motion? | A: Movement where all body parts travel the same distance, direction, and speed. |
| Q: What is angular motion? | A: Movement around an axis (internal = joints, external = equipment). |
| Q: What is general motion? | Q: What is general motion? |
| Q: Define distance. | A: The total path travelled. |
| Q: Define displacement. | A: Straight‑line distance from start to finish. |
| Q: Define speed. | A: Distance ÷ time. |
| Q: Define velocity. | A: Displacement ÷ time, including direction. |
| Q: Define acceleration. | A: The rate of change of velocity. |
| Q: Define momentum. | A: Mass × velocity. |
| Q: What affects angular momentum? | A: Angular velocity, mass, and centre of mass. |
