Olympic Long Jump
Long jump is a fascinating olympic sport. It originates back to 706 B.C.E. Long jump was added to the Olympics in 1896. The rules are that the athletes have to jump as far as possible and have to jump at the jump point.The runway must be at least 40 meters long. The jumper’s farthest point forward in contact is what is judged. They need special shoes and speed. Physics is in long jump, too.
There are several ways to discover forces in long jump. Newton’s 1st law says an object in motion stays in motion and an object at rest stays at rest unless on by a balanced force. An unbalanced force is something that is not tilted. In long jump when the runner is tired is when the runner starts running. An unbalanced force is something that's not straight or something that is not upright. Rest is something that is not moving or still. Motion is something that is moving. In long jump, Newton's 1st law can be seen when the athlete is running. That is motion, then the runner jumps and that is force. Then they land, and a force is applied to them and then they are at rest. That’s how long jump demonstrates Newton’s 1st law of motion.
There are many ways to describe Newton’s 2nd law in long jump. Newton’s second law says that the greater the mass of an object the more force is needed to accelerate. First is mass which is the matter of an object. Mass in long jump is the athlete and their clothing and their shoes. The more mass they have the harder it is to run and jump. Second, force is something that is pushing or pulling. Force in long jump is when the jumper pushes off the ground. The harder the athlete puts more forces in the faster the athlete will go. Third, acceleration is something that is speeding up. Acceleration in long jump is when the runner speeds up and jumps. These are the reasons Newton’s 2nd law applies to long jump.
There are lots of ways to describe Newton's 3rd Law in long jump. Newton’s 3rd Law is that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. An action is motion or an act caused by a force. Reaction is an action that happens in response to an act. Newton’s 3nd Law in long jump is when the athlete moves by running and pushing their foot down and back on the ground and when the athlete pushes off the ground and flies in the air and lands on the ground. Some other reasons that Newton’s 3re Law is in long jump is when the athlete steps on the starting line and when the athlete pushes off the ground . That is an action. When the athlete steps again and again that is action, too. Then they move up and forward as a reaction. Those are all the reasons why Newton's 3nd law is in long jump.
