_______ is the research and analysis of the mechanical properties of living tissues and non-living objects that affect those living tissues.
Biomechanics
The analysis of the non-living component simply follows _______ mechanical principles.
Newtonian
, the biomechanical properties of living or non-living tissue are more complicated and often not thoroughly understood?
Living tissue more complicated
Newton’s three “Laws of Motion” describe the relationship between
the _______ acting on an object and the _____ of that object,
which form the basis for classical mechanics.
external forces; motion
Mechanics is the branch of physics concerned with the behavior of
objects when subjected to _____ or _______
forces; displacements
What is Newton’s first law?
A body at rest remains at rest, and a body in motion continues to move in a straight line with a constant speed unless and until an external unbalanced force acts upon it.
What is Newton’s second law?
The rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the impressed force and takes place in the direction in which the force acts.
What is Newton’s third law?
Whenever A exerts a force on B, B simultaneously exerts a force of the same magnitude and in the opposite direction on A.
“For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction”
_____ is an influence that may cause an object to change its velocity (accelerate).
force
It may be experienced as a lift, a push, or a pull, and it has a magnitude and a direction and hence is mathematically represented by a _____
vector
The actual acceleration of the body is determined by the _______ of all forces acting on it.
vector sum
A vector is a concept characterized by a ______ and a _______.
magnitude; direction
_____ is a vector quantity defined as the rate of change of the momentum of
the body that would be induced by that force acting alone.
Force
A ____ has only a magnitude.
scalar
A scalar has only _____
Magnitude
Orthodontic forces are described by their what 3 things?
magnitude, point
of application, and direction.
The ______ of the force is defined by the line of action and the sense (arrowhead).
direction
The ______ of the force is depicted by the length of the line using an arbitrary scale
magnitude
Using the ______ as the horizontal reference of
an orthogonal coordinate system.
occlusal plane
The calculations of magnitude and direction of the
components can be carried out geometrically by using
_____ methods
trigonometric
The ______ describes all the forces involved and allows for
analysis and calculation of resultant forces on a tooth or a group of
teeth.
force system
______ forces depicted as vectors can be added
together to calculate the resultant by using the
parallelogram method or by addition of their
components in a reference system.
Concurrent
The ______ method used to derive resultant forces
entails drawing the two concurrent forces (F1 and F2) to
scale at appropriate angulations.
parallelogram
The diagonal of this parallelogram from the point of force
application, when measured and converted using the
specified scale, gives the _______ of the resultant (R).
magnitude
