When learning motor skills, we refer to 3 different stages of learning. What is the first or beginner's stage?

• Associative

• Autonomous

• Cognitive

• Catabolic

When learning motor skills, we refer to 3 different stages of learning. Which stage is characterised by:

-The skill has become habitual.

-They can perform the skill without thinking about it, but rather focus on strategy and other elements in their environment.

-They can self correct errors.

• Associative

• Autonomous

• Cognitive

• Catabolic

If a skill requires large muscle groups to perform forceful movements, the skill would be classified as:

• Fixed

• Gross

• Fine

• Grouped

Skills can be classified as open or closed.

Outline the characteristics of a closed skill and provide a sporting example of a closed skill.

A gymnastic routine can involve the linking of several specific skills such as a round off, back flip and splits.

This is an example of:

• A continuous skill

• A discrete skill

• A serial skill

• An fine skill

Momentum is the quantity of motion that an object possesses. Momentum is made up of two factors. What are they?

• Angle of release X Rotation

• Mass X Acceleration

• Acceleration X Inertia

• Mass X Velocity

Acceleration can be measured in...

• millilitres per kilogram per minute

• metres per second per second

• metres per second

• kilograms per second

An object that is travelling through the air is considered to be...

• a projectile

• a lever

• a javelin

• always dangerous

• all of the above

An object at rest or in motion will continue in that state unless acted upon by an external force. This is Newton's law of...

• acceleration

• action reaction

• inertia

• stopping at red lights

In class we discussed angular momentum and related it to different sporting examples (most experimented spinning on a wheelie chair). Explain this concept using an example and correct terminology (including angular momentum, moment of inertia and angular velocity).
