Refer to image 1. Briefly explain 2 forces influencing the flight path of the ball

2

Refer to image 2. Describe 2 ways the downhill skier is reducing friction.

2

Refer to image 3. Explain the difference between the momentum and inertia of these kettlebells

3

Refer to image 4 (tennis serve). Explain the general sequence of movements required to maximise the summation of momentum.

Refer to image 5 in which a soccer player is trying to trap a ball. The soccer player is trying to change the momentum of the ball so that it doesn't bounce of his chest. Explain how he can achieve this by refering to a kinetic/biomechanical principle and it's formula.
