Paralympic Discus Throw
This is all the content I know about the sport of Discus Throw. I will tell you about where Discus Throw comes from, what you need to play it, and the rules.
People began playing Discus Throw in 708 BC in a place called Greece. It started to be played in the Paralympic games in 1948.
To play Discus Throw you need a big metal safety net and a discus. A discus is made of metal it is a circle like a frisbee. The big metal safety net keeps the audience safe. If they throw the discus wrong, the net would catch it. You play Discus Throw on a cone-shaped field.
One rule in Discus Throw is you have to stay in the circle when you are throwing. If you step out of the circle it is called a “No throw”. Another rule is you have to throw the discus in the white lines. If it lands outside of the white lines, it is a “No throw”.
This is everything I searched and learned about Discus Throw. I hope you have learned some things too.
An object in motion stays in motion till a force blocks it. Newton's 1rst law is balanced and unbalanced. When an object in motion is stopped it gets stopped by something hitting it. Objects at rest and in movement. They stay still till you move it. When they change. An object in motion stops when you stop it. An object at rest will not move till you or anything else moves it. Discus throw has a lot to do with motion. In discus the disks that they throw is unbalanced.
Newton’s 2nd law means force equals mass times acceleration. Force is a push or pull. When the discus is thrown you use muscular force. Another force you use in discus is contact force when you touch the discus.
Mass is how condensed molecules are. An example of mass is the discus. Another example of mass is the player. Acceleration is speed getting faster and slower. An example of acceleration in my sport is the discus getting faster when it's going to the ground. Also when it slows down by friction and drag. That is Newton’s 2nd law of motion.
Newton’s 3nd law for every force/action has a reaction. Action is force. Force go’s in one direction. They use music force to push the dicus. When you use force the same force is applied. When you throw the discus you will be pushed back. When you throw the discus forward, then your body move’s back. There legs go”
Is down and back, which push is there body and the discus forward.
This is some stuff about paralympic discus throw.
