Twists & turns in the air 🤸♂️
- Angular Momentum: Think of it like spinning a basketball on your finger. It's a force, but it has a direction.
- Fun Fact: Gymnasts use angular momentum to do those amazing somersaults with twists!
- Real-World Example: Ever spun a top? When it tilts (rotating about one axis) and also spins (another rotation), the combination makes it twist! That's two types of motion creating a third.
Quick-fire study questions 📚
- Motoneuron: Grab your colors! Sketch a nerve cell with extensions reaching out.
- Sliding Filament Theory: Think of two combs' teeth sliding past one another. That's kinda how muscles contract!
- Electromyography Issues: Ever tried tuning a radio? Sometimes you get static. Similarly, this tool might not always give perfect muscle readings.
- Synovial Joints: There are 4 classes! It's like nature's own engineering! And for movements like flexion and abduction? They have opposites!
- Forearm Pronation: Show off by turning your palm down. That's pronation!
- Muscle Contractions: Ever done bicep curls? Lifting up is concentric, lowering down is eccentric, and holding it midway? That's isometric!
- Newton's Laws in Sports: Remember that time you pushed the pool float and it moved? Newton was onto something!
- Scalars vs. Vectors: Scalars are like age - just a number. Vectors, though? They have a direction, like an arrow pointing north!
- Impulse-Momentum in High Jump: Think of a trampoline! The longer you press down, the higher you'll jump!
- Levers in the Body: Like the tools in your garage, but nature made them! Some are more common because they give muscles an advantage.
- Thrown Object Motion: Think about throwing a paper airplane. The angle, the force, and the spin matter!
- Drag Force Factors: Imagine a sleek sports car versus a big, boxy truck. Which faces more wind resistance? Factors like shape, size, speed, and even air density play a role.
