        Help!  

Word
Definition
kinematics   the form, pattern, or sequencing of movement with respect to time  
🗑
linear displacement   change in location  
🗑
linear velocity   the rate of change in location displacement/time  
🗑
acceleration   the rate of change in linear velocity change in velocity/time  
🗑
relative angle   angle at a joint formed between the longitudinal axes of adjacent body segments  
🗑
absolute angle   angular orientation of a body segment with respect to a fixed line of reference  
🗑
angular displacement   change in angular position  
🗑
angular velocity   the rate of change in angular position angular displacement/time  
🗑
angular acceleration   the rate of change in angular velocity change in angular velocity/time  
🗑
law of inertia   a body will maintain a state of rest or constant velocity unless acted on by an external force that changes the state  
🗑
law of acceleration   a force applied to a body causes acceleration of that body  
🗑
law of reaction   for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction  
🗑
friction   a force acting over the area of contact between two surfaces  
🗑
momentum   quantity of motion possessed by a body  
🗑
principle of conservation of momentum   in the absence of external forces, the total momentum of a given system remains constant  
🗑
impulse   the product of a force and the time interval over which the force acts  
🗑
mechanical work   the product of a force applied against a resistance and the displacement of the resistance in the direction of the force  
🗑
mechanical power   the rate of work production  
🗑
mechanical energy   the capacity to do work  
🗑
kinetic energy   energy of motion  
🗑
torque   the rotary effect of a force about an axis of rotation  
🗑
moment of inertia   represents resistance to angular acceleration  
🗑
fluid   a substance that flows or continuously deforms when subjected to a shear stress  
🗑
laminar flow   smooth, parallel layers of fluid  
🗑
turbulent flow   mixing of adjacent fluid layers  
🗑
Archimedes' principle   buoyant force acting on a body is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body  
🗑
floating   occurs when the buoyant force is greater than or equal to the body weight  
🗑
drag   a force caused by the dynamic action of a fluid that acts in the direction of the freestream fluid flow  
🗑
form drag   a pressure differential between the lead and rear sides of a body moving through a fluid  
🗑
wave drag   the generation of waves at the interface between two different fluids such as air and water  
🗑
lift   a force acting on a body in a fluid in a direction perpendicular to the fluid flow  
🗑
foil   a shape capable of generating lift in a fluid  
🗑
Bernouli principle   an expression of the inverse relationship between relative velocity and relative pressure in fluid flow  
🗑
Magnus effect   deviation in the trajectory of a spinning object toward the direction of spin  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
