Olympic Short Distance Running
There are multiple things to the sport Short distance running, there are multiple parts to it. Short distance running began in the late 19th century. The first short distance running event began in the late 19th century. The late 19th century was around 1986 which was the time of the Athens.
The rules are pretty simple for short distance running, staying in your lane is one of the main ones. Short distance has some simple rules such as stay in your lane. An other rule to short distance running is You have to make sure that you cool down or you can pass out, you have to drink a lot of water also so you don’t pass out, wear proper shoes and clothes, do strength and cross training, adopt a conversation pace, Focus on your own goals, and feedback and recovery.
The equipment you use is basically just the track and is located usually in Greece. You have to do short distance running on a track and must use the proper clothes and shoes. The track is a usual place where you do the races. You can also do it in your backyard and do a loop around it but it will just not be as long as the actual track. The events usually happen in the summer.
Newton’s first law
Things in motion will stay in motion until stopped by another object, human, or blocking force like a wall or door. Things at rest are basically the same, things at rest will stay at rest until moved by an object, or a human.
When you tip something, it is unbalanced, and will fall, tip something next to it, or will fall over and roll. When you have something balanced, it is balanced, and will stay in one place and will not tip anything over and will not roll off because there is something controlling it and keeping it still.
When you are running, you are staying in motion until stopped at the end. When you are getting ready to run\start, in your ready position.
Newton’s second law
Force defines mass’s acceleration. Newton's 2nd law is F=MxA. Force=Mass x Acceleration. They can be all combined together. Like, for example: In my sport, the force is your feet touching the ground because you need your feet to push yourself forward to run, and to get to the end of the track. Force is when you push against something.When you push off on that one foot to start running as fast as you can. And when you have to stop yourself at the end of the race, you have to slow down your feet to stop in time, so that you don’t go flying into something, or someone. Mass is the amount of something, like a ball. Your body weight is 99.9% of the weight in short distance running. Your weight needs to be super light. They want super light mass so that you can run faster. You want: a Tanktop, light shorts, and light running shoes. You don’t want: A long sleeved shirt, Jeans, normal running shoes, and a water bottle strapped to your waist.
Acceleration is movement and change in the speed. There is acceleration when they are running, they change their speed at the beginning, they go from basically jogging, to running as fast as they can. This happens because it takes a couple of seconds for them to get really fast. They also change their direction when the track is circled by the stands. When you push hard against the ground on one foot to start running. There is mass + acceleration when you are turning on the track. They're trying to accelerate the mass of their body.
You can see where you need to turn on the track so you need to add your mass and your force together to see how much you need to get to 1st place. You are the mass and force for when you push off that one foot at the start, so you can start running, one foot at a time.
Force is a push or pull caused by an object or a human. Force can also be a bump also by an object or human. Force in my sport is when you push off one foot to start running.
Mass is the amount of something. Like a vase can be the only mass of the things on the table. The mass in my sport is basically all you, because you don’t want that much mass for your clothes because less mass=the faster you run.
Acceleration is the change in motion, or direction. The acceleration in my sport is when the track shrinks into the stands. You can also see when to turn around on the track.
There are multiple examples of Newton’s second law of motion, in the sport, Olympic Short Distance Running.
Newton’s third law:
Today you will learn about how Newton’s 3rd law is in my sport. Newton’s 3rd law is an equal and opposite action and reaction. Action is a type of movement. An example of action in short distance running is:When you push on the ground to run. Another example is: When you are in your starting position, you push on the blocks. It is a motion something, or someone did.An example is:When the block pushes you forward, at the beginning.
Action: When in starting position, you push of on one foot,
Reaction:And the blocks bounce you back up.
Action: When you are trying to stop, you stop pushing to stop
Reaction:and the track stops pushing you to.
Action: When you take in air form your lungs
Reaction: it will come out of your mouth in a different direction.
Action:When you run fast past the flag, it goes the way your running
Reaction: then resets to the other direction
There is multiple examples of Newton’s third law of motion in the Olympic Short Distance Running.
