Question
Answer
statics   covers situations in which all forces acting on the body are balanced (in equilibrium)  
🗑
dynamics   branch of biomechanics, dealing with bodies subject to unbalance  
🗑
kinematics   branch of mechanics that considers the forces that produce or change motion  
🗑
scalar quantities   single quantities (size or amount  
🗑
vector quantities   double quantities (magnitude and direction)  
🗑
relative motion-   the act or process of changing place or position with respect to some reference object  
🗑
translatory motion   object is translated as a whole from one location to another  
🗑

🗑
curvilinear motion-   refers to all curved translatory movement (moves in curved pathway)  
🗑
angular/rotary motion-   when an object acting as a radius moves about a fixed point.  
🗑
reciprocating motion   denotes repetitive motion  
🗑
external factors modifying motion-   friction, air resistance, water resistance  
🗑
internal/ anatomical factors modifying motion-   friction in joints, tension of antagonists. ligaments and fascia, anomalies of bone and joint structure, atmospheric pressure inside joints, presence of interfering soft tissues  
🗑
speed equation=   distance/ time  
🗑
velocity equation=   displacement/time  
🗑
mean acceleration=   final velocity- initial velocity/ time  
🗑
a=   v/t  
🗑
v=   at  
🗑
t=   v/a  
🗑
factors that control the range of a projectile:   speed of release, angle of projection, and height of release  
🗑
angular displacement equation=   C=2(pi)r  
🗑
force-   that which pushes or pulls through direct mechanical contact or through the force of gravity to alter the motion of an object  
🗑
what kind of quantity is force?   vector!  
🗑
force possess both...   magnitude and direction!  
🗑
internal forces-   muscle forces that act on various structures of the body  
🗑
external forces-   outside the body (weight, gravity, air or water resistance, friction)  
🗑
magnitude is directly affected by what?   muscle fibers  
🗑
point of aplication   point at which force is applied to object  
🗑
anatomical pulley- patella-   the patella increases angle of pull and increases rotary component  
🗑
law of inertia-   body continues in its state of rest of uniform motion unless an unbalanced force acts upon it  
🗑
law of acceleration-   F=mass x acceleration, acceleration is directly proportional to force causing it and inversely proportional to mass of object  
🗑
impulse-   Ft= m(v-u) product of force and time is applied  
🗑
momentum=   mass x velocity  
🗑
What are linear forces? give an example.   forces applied in same direction along the same action line ex) gastrocs and soleus acting at ankle joint, psoas and iliacus acting at hip joint  
🗑
What are concurrent forces? give an example.   forces acting at the same point of application but at different angles. ex) several fball players blocking each other in blocking situation  
🗑
What are parallel forces? give example.   forces are not in the same line but parallel to each other act at different points on body ex) holding a 10 N weight in hand with arm flexed at 90 degrees  
🗑
conservation of momentum-   in any system where forces act on each other, the momentum is constant  
🗑
What are the 6 forces that modify motion??   1) gravity 2) reaction forces 3) weight 4) friction 5) elasticity and rebound 6) fluid forces  
🗑
what is friction?   the force that opposes efforts to slide or roll one body over another  
🗑
friction is proportional to?   the force pressing two surfaces together  
🗑
what is elasticity?   the ability of an object to resist distorting influences and to return to its original size and shape when the distorting forces are removed.  
🗑
coefficient of elasticity-   e= the square root of bounce height/ drop height  
🗑
The size of the rebound angle compared with that of the striking angle depends on   the elasticity of the striking object and the friction between the two surfaces  
🗑
a ball coming in with backspin hitting the floor has a   smaller angle of reflection  
🗑
balls thrown with topspin will rebound from horizontal surfaces lower and with more horizontal velocity than that with which they struck the surface   true  
🗑
balls hitting a horizontal surface with backspin rebound at   higher bounce and are slower  
🗑
a ball with no spin will..   develop some top spin on the rebound  
🗑
a ball hitting with topspin will...   develop greater topspin when rebounding  
🗑
laminar flow   if fluid around an object is smooth and unbroken  
🗑
drag force   result of pressure on the leading edge of the object and the amount of backward pull produced by turbulence on trailing edge  
🗑
Bernoulli's principle-   the pressure in a moving fluid decreases as the speed increases  
🗑
eccentric force-   a force whose direction is not in line with the center of gravity of a freely moving object or the center of rotation of an object with a fixed axis of rotation  
🗑
torque-   the turning effect of an eccentric force, or moment of force  
🗑
torque equation=   torque = force x moment arm (t=f x d)  
🗑
moment arm-   the perpendicular distance between the force vector and the axis  
🗑
force couple-   effect of equal parallel forces acting in opposite directions  
🗑
principles of torques-   resultant torques of a force system must be equal to the sum of the torques of the individual forces of the system about the same point.  
🗑
What is a lever?   a simple machine that operates according to the principle of torques; a rigid bar that can rotate about a fixed point when force applied to overcome resistance  
🗑
fulcrum-   fixed point about which a lever turns when force applied  
🗑
effort arm (EA)-   the perpendicular distance between the fulcrum and line of force of the effort  
🗑
resistance arm (RA)-   the perpendicular distance between the fulcrum and the line of resistance force  
🗑
first class levers-   axis lies between the effort and the resistance  
🗑
mechanical advantage of first class levers-   balance  
🗑
second class levers-   resistance lies between axis and effort; EA always longer than RA  
🗑
advantage of second class levers-   magnifying the effects of effort so takes less force to move resistance  
🗑
disadvantage of second class levers-   ROM sacrificed  
🗑
third class levers-   effort leis between axis and resistance; Ra always longer of the two moment arms  
🗑
principle of levers-   a lever of any class will balance when the product of the effort and the effort arm equals the product of the resistance and the resistance arm.  
🗑

🗑
moment of inertia equation-   I = sum mr^2  
🗑
angular momentum=   moment of inertia x angular velocity (lw)  
🗑
conservation of angular momentum- total angular momentum of a rotating body will remain constant unless   acted upon by external torques  
🗑
a decrease in moment of inertia produces..   an increase in angular velocity  
🗑
what is center of gravity?   the balance point or the point about which a body would balance without tendency to rotate  
🗑
location of center of gravity of human being in normal standing position varies with:   body build, age, and sex  
🗑

🗑
male approx COG=   at 57% standing height  
🗑
