Paralympic Rowing
There are many different Olympic sports played every four years and rowing is one of them. The first origin is where it started. Rowing became a sport in 1700 in England. Rowing became an olympic sport in 2008. In rowing there is specific equipment to use. Athletes use a boat and oars. Lastly, in rowing there are certain rules and those rules are a weight limit for men that is 160 lbs, while for women it is 130 lbs.
Forces of motion are at work in many different ways in rowing. Balanced forces are things that are not moving side to side or tilting. The type of forces can be seen in rowing. Balanced forces are where the boat is still or not moving. An unbalanced force is when the boat and oars are moving through the water. Newton's 1st law says an object at rest stays at rest. An object in motion stays in motion until a force acts upon it. Rowing is very hard, intense and shows Newton’s 1st law of motion.
Next is Newton’s second law. This is another law that occurs in rowing. First, the law says the greater the mass the greater the force to move it. Next the definition of force is a push or pull. There are two kinds of forces. Balanced and unbalanced forces. Unbalanced forces in my sport are the player arm and the ores to push the boat backwards. For mass there are some things that have particles inside of them. Things that have mass in rowing are the boat, the players, and the oars. Acceleration is a change in direction or speed. Acceleration in my sport is how fast the athlete is rowing or how slow they are rowing. The force of the player pushes the oars because of muscles in rowing. Overall, newton's second law can be seen throughout ot rowing
Then, Newton's 3rd law says for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. An action is a type of movement. A reaction is moving again.If you pull back on ores the boat will go forward but if you push forward on your oars the boat will go backwards. Trury the sport of rowing is awesome and amazing . Physics can be seen throughout rowing.
