Paralympic Canoeing
Paralympic canoeing was first invented in 2009. When people first started playing, it was made in Rio De Janeiro. Be careful while paddling fast in competitions because if you don’t there is a possibility that you will flip. The rules for paralympic canoeing are all about safety. First rule 1. Get into the canoe. 2. Stay low, do not stand up or walk out until you’re near the shore. 3. Always wear your life jacket. 4. Avoid all sudden or jerky movements.
How to play, playing the game is about speed, racing, competing, And most important of all, have fun! The kayak is propelled by a double-blade paddle. While using the va’a is an outrigger canoe which has an ama as a support float and is used with a single blade paddle.
Equipment
The equipment needed for paralympic canoeing is a kayak, with a double back blade paddle, and an outrigger canoe.
Outrigger canoe
An outrigger canoe is a watercraft featuring one or more lateral support known as the outrigger.
Newton’s first was: An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains at constant speed. In a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force. Unless a force hits it.
Balanced and unbalanced:
Balanced forces cancel each other out, but not change their motion. When two forces are the same strength but act in opposite directions.
Unbalanced forces don’t cancel each other out, but do change their motion. To have unbalanced forces means that the force applied in one direction is greater than the force applied in the opposite direction.
In my sport for balanced forces: The upward force of the water on the box is balanced by downward pull of gravity.
In my sport for unbalanced forces: When the object stops it has a forward pull. Their motion slows down to stop, and not continue moving.
Rest in my sport: The canoes are at rest. They were at rest at the beginning of the race. The canoes don’t go until the race starts.
No longer at rest in my sport: The object will no longer be at rest when moved by something or touched. The type of force used is physical force.
Motion in my sport: The canoes are in motion when racing/paddling. They are in the water while in motion.
No longer in motion in my sport: The object will not be in motion when dumped into something/stopped. The type of force that is used is still physical force.
The second law of Newton's law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables, the net force upon the object and the mass of the object.
Force:
Force is a push or pull upon an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object.
Force in my sport:
An example of force in my sport is when people are paddling, they’re using force to work with the water. Also to go faster and win the race.
Mass:
Mass is a weight. Definition: Bowling balls have bigger mass. Gold balls are smaller and lighter so they don't have as much mass. Examples: 1) Roll a bowling ball, it doesn’t go as fast as a soccer ball because it has more mass. 2) throw a football across the field. It goes farther than the bowling ball because it has a smaller mass.
Mass in my sport:
The mass in my sport is the person, the canoe and the paddle.
Acceleration:
Acceleration is a change in velocity, so it’s a change of direction and speed.
Acceleration in my sport:
An example of acceleration in my sport is when the people finish the race, at the end they don’t stop, but they do slow down.
How force impacts the acceleration of the masses in my sport:
When people in the canoes are paddling with the current that is moving with the canoe. At the end of the race the canoes slow down but not completely.
How to the athletes predict the acceleration of the object in my sport based on the masses and forces:
The athletes can predict their acceleration by their masses and forces. If the athletes are trying really hard to win the race, their paddling really hard in order to win, they are using force to move. The mass is the person and canoe.
They know their speed and direction by guidelines, their paddling, they change
Newton’s third law:
For every action/force there is a reaction which pulls or pushes you the opposite way. What is action? What are some examples of action in your sport? (Mine): Def: Action is doing something, like your running, that’s an action. Example 1: When they’re paddling they’re pushing the water so the boat goes forward. Example 2: When the boat is moving forward the water is going back.
What is a reaction?: Def: A reaction is something you respond to. Example 1: If the current is pushing you, you have to paddle harder because you are being pushed.
What types of actions create reactions in your sport?
Actions and reactions in my sport:
Action: when you're paddling, (paddling backward).
Reaction: Your force that you make is pushing you the other direction. When you paddle back you move forward.
Action: The boat sinks down into the water using gravitational force.
Reaction: When the canoe floats, the water wants to fill the air in the canoe up but is unable to.
Action: when you put your paddle in the water the other side goes up.
Reaction: When your paddle is in the water and the other side is in the air, the paddle rotates with the force.
Action: When you are at rest the water goes over you.
Reaction: When you are moving the water is pushing you back when you go forward.
Action: When you use your force, you rock the boat.
Reaction: When you use force on each side the force pushes the boat to the other side.
Conclusion:
Thank you for reading that’s action and reaction in Newton’s third law and my sport
