Paralympic Marathon Running
Para marathon running has several interesting histories behind it. There are several rules. One of the rules is that all of the runners have to run 26 miles. Also, there are certain requirements for their prosthetics. Para marathon running was first played in the 1960s. It was first played in Rome. Additionally, there is a setting and equipment needed for this sport. The race takes place on a specific track. They have to wear a uniform which is a shirt with a number on it and a pair of shorts that has the exact number that their shirt has. Paralympic marathon running also demonstrates Newton’s Laws in many different ways.
Newton's 1st Law connects with paralympic marathon running in several ways. Newton’s 1st law connects with paralympic marathon running because a runner that is at rest will stay at rest and a runner in motion will stay in motion unless they use muscular force. Additionally, balanced and unbalanced forces can connect because when a runner is still they will move out of rest. Also, they will be unbalanced because the runner will use muscular force. Finally, rest and motion are important. A runner will be at rest because they will have to line up at the start. The runner will be in motion because they have to run using muscular force. This is how paralympic marathon running is impacted by Newton's 1st Law.
Newton’s 2nd Law is seen in paralympic marathon running in several ways. Newton's 2nd Law says the acceleration of a runner depends on the force that is applied and the mass of the runner. Secondly, Newton's 2nd Law applies to the types of force, mass, and acceleration. The runner can use muscular force to accelerate. Additionally, force is used in Paralympic marathon running when the runner uses spring force to spring out of their position and then they use muscular force to run. Those are the reasons Newton’s 2nd Law is seen in paralympic marathon running.
There are several reasons why Newton’s 3rd Law is also seen in Paralympic marathon running. Newton’s 3rd Law says that a runner's actions have an equal and opposite reaction. Secondly, actions and reactions, the runner will stay in his position until the start gun goes off and the runner will have a reaction to start running. Additionally, patterns, they can run and then stop if someone is about to crash into them. The other action and reaction is the runner could stay in their stance until the runner uses muscular force to run. Also, the runner can use spring force to spring out of their position and the action and reaction the runner uses is spring force to then use muscular force to run against the ground. When the athlete pushes down and back on their ground with their foot, this is the action. The reaction is when their body then moves up and forward. Also, the runner has their arms going towards the wind and that's the action and the reaction is the wind is pushing their arms back. Paralympic marathon running is really interesting and shows all three of Newton’s Laws.
