What is the definition of a lever?
An object used to help people gain mechanical advantage over other objects
A rigid bar resting on a pivot, used to move a heavy or firmly fixed load with one end when pressure is applied to the other
It is 3 points the load, effort and fulcrum which helps to make loads easier
Have a fixed pivot point that helps to lift loads
What is a second class lever?
Fulcrum in the middle
Load in the middle
Effort in the middle
Pivot in the middle
When performing a header in football, what class lever is used?

A swimmer swims a 100m sprint, what are the applications of force applied to the swimmer?
gravity, muscular force, air pressure
muscular force, ground reaction force, gravity
muscular force, air resistance, joint reaction force
joint reaction force, muscular force, fluid resistance
newtons third law of motion states that
if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force
the time rate of change of the momentum of a body is equal in both magnitude and direction to the force imposed on it
For a body whose mass m is constant, it can be written in the form F = ma, where F (force) and a (acceleration) are both vector quantities
when two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction
On a starting block, the sprinter burst out of the block, the most relevant law towards the starting block and the sprinters feet are
First law

Third law
All of the above
On a starting block, the sprinter burst out of the block, the most relevant law towards the sprinter in the first 30m of the race is
First law
Second law
Third law
All of the above
On a starting block, the sprinter burst out of the block, the most relevant law towards the sprinters movement off the blocks is slower compared when the sprinter reaching maximum speed at the middle of the race
First law
Second Law
Third Law
All of the above
Cyclists are cycling in a straight line, based on the applications of force, why is this so?
To reduce drag e.g. air resistance between the riders
To improve motivation in the group
To Increase acceleration between the riders
To improve efficiency between the riders
