3650 final Flashcards
4 components of vectors
magnitude
direction
point of application
line of action
mass
quantity of matter in a body
weight
gravitational force exerted on the mass of a body
forces
push/pull that tends to alter the motion state of a body
3 types of forces
mechanical
gravitational
frictional
displacement
length of the straight line joining the start and finish point with some sense of direction
sign of displacement
relative direction
velocity
how quickly is displacement changing in time
sign for velocity
displacement change relative to origin, pos away, neg towards
uniform displacement
contant velocity
we sample more frequenly for
more accurrate reps
what is biomechanmics
anatomy, physiology and the behaviour of living things interacting with engineering which are principes of physics applied to matter
model
accurate rep with reduced validity
detail specs of critical parameters
logical simplification for additional parameters
how to observe the behavior of biology and tissues (3)
observe and model it according to terms and techniques
- purpose - supportive motion/proprioceptive info
give diff treatments in diff situations to see change in behaviour
Tinbergen
behavioural problems according to time and benefit
current proximate
causation - hormones causing changes
current ultimate
function - what does it give you
historical proximate
development - change one generation
historical ultimate
evolution - change over many generations
qualitative
visual observation
quantitative
measurements from records
causative progression 2
mechanical quantities and constructed completely from lower factors
chronological progression 4
when to do tat
what’s working and what isnt
decrease in factors
antecedent - behaviour - consequence
consequences could be
full or half ecological behaviours - targetting vs hitting
body referenced system
egocentric - focused on behaviour
world referenced system
allocentric - time based
muscle forces
larger than load and joint forces were even larger
