Biomechanics of force, motion and stability

What this note covers

1. Describe motion before explaining its causes
2. Apply Newton's laws to a clearly identified object
3. Momentum and impulse connect force with a change in motion
4. Projectile outcomes depend on release and environmental conditions
5. Levers relate effort, resistance and distance from an axis
6. Stability depends on support, centre of mass and the task
