Study Notes

Kinematic Parameters

Four key parameters: Time, Displacement, Velocity, Acceleration.

Angular Velocity

Defined as the change in angular position over time.
Represented by the symbol ω (omega).
Measured in degrees/seconds, radians/seconds, or revolutions/seconds.

Angular Measurements

Angles are denoted by θ (theta).
One radian equals approximately 57.3 degrees.
A revolution is a complete turn around a circle.

Angular Acceleration

Defined as the change in angular velocity per unit time.
Symbolized by α (alpha).
Units include degrees/seconds², radians/seconds², revolutions/seconds².
Formula: α = Δω/Δt (change in angular velocity over change in time).

Displacement Measurements

Linear displacement is measured in meters or feet.
Angular displacement is typically measured in degrees.
Displacement formula: d = θr (where d = displacement, θ = constant angle, r = radius).

Velocity Relationships

Linear velocity formula: V = rω (where V = velocity, r = radius).
Greater radius correlates with increased linear velocity, affecting performance in sports (e.g., longer bat results in greater velocity).

Implications of Angular Relationships

Linear velocity increases with greater angular velocity.
Quick angular movements lead to higher linear velocity outcomes.
Increasing the radius while keeping angular velocity constant will decrease angular velocity, impacting effectiveness in dynamic movements like boxing.

Application Insights

The farther from the axis of rotation, the greater the linear displacement achieved.
To maximize performance in sports, use longer equipment (e.g., bats) to enhance velocity.
Quick and efficient angular strategies can significantly improve athletic execution.
