Analysis Of Newton's First Law Of Inertia

Improved Essays
According Peter M. McGinnis (2013) the Newton’s first law is about the linear kinematic and is called law of Inertia. This law states that, ‘everybody continues in it states of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it’ (McGinnis, 2013, p.88). Simpler, the law of Inertia says that if there is no external force acts on a subject, that subject will not move and it will remain in states of rest or if it was moving it will continues moving at constant speed in the straight line.
Gravity based on Frank Bell (1998) is an external force that acts on all objects that are near to earth. This is the conclusion of all the objects to be attracted to the earth after the end of their

Athletes occasionally perform jumps by using both legs before takeoff and after the landing on the ground. Based on James Christopher Radcliffe (1999) the starting position and initiation methods -when jumping for height- have significant value. There are several types of jumps such as squat jump, countermovement jump and depth jump. Squat jump is when the athlete want to perform a jump without a pre stretch movement, which executing a vertical jump from a static position of ankle, knee and hip flexion of specified degree. A countermovement jump is that the athlete starts from a standing position, makes a preliminary downward movement by flexing at the knees and hips, then immediately extends the knees and hips again to jump vertically up off the ground. One more is the depth jump. This jump describes the execution of a vertical jump after landing from a drop of a specified height, the flexion of the landing and the following extension of that …show more content…
The three options were Vertical jump with and without countermovement, football penalty kick with the right and left foot and walking or running. To analyze the data a Nixon camera with tripod was given to the students. Also a memory stick has given to each group to help them record their video and analyze the data on the computer.
Procedure
The students record there video as many times they need to be safe that they done the correct work. To make analyze more accrued the person who was the subject was dressed in shorts and mark his body with sticks. For the vertical jump experiment the marks was one in the ankle, one in the knee, and one in the hip. The background was a white wall to help the students to make analyze more accurate.
Data analysis
Kinovea program was used to analyze the data in the computer. On this program students can analyze degrees of the hip and knee extension flexion, velocity, and the distance between the subject and the ground. Also with this program they can found how many seconds their subject was in the

    When teaching this phrase you want the lifter to start in the hang phrase. This will allow them to see how to begin the jump phrase properly. The jump phrase starts by the lifter unlocking his hips and knees (Rippetoe and Kilgore, 2007). The bar should slide down your thighs at this point and once it reaches the middle of the thigh you are ready to perform the lift. However, a coaching point must be made during this phase of the jump phase.…

    The class that was taught in the recorded lesson was a kindergarten class, with a class size of about 24 students. This lesson was the beginning of a new unit in chasing, fleeing, and dodging. In the prior units students learned about spatial awareness, levels, locomotor movement (running, jogging, walking, & different directions). In this lesson students will be learning the different pathways such as zigzag, straight, and curve. The goal of this lesson is to have students incorporate these movements while fleeing and dodging.…

    Movement analysis is a major key in sports as it dissects the certain movement of muscles and joints to perform a certain action in the sport. A basketball jump shot uses all of the movement phases, from the stance phase, preparatory phase, movement phase, follow-through phase and recovery phase. The jump shot has gradually evolved in the NBA, and is considered one of the most important and most commonly used shot in basketball. There are many sharpshooters in the NBA, like Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry and Carmelo Anthony who master the jump shot, and they excel in the little details of these phases, which helps them excel in their craft. These phases are truly important in a basketball jump shot…
