Bio 3 Flashcards
What is inertia
An objects resistance to changes in its state of motion
What is the one thing inertia depends on
Mass
An object with greater mass is more ________ to speed up, slow down, or change direction while moving linearly
Difficult
What does angular inertia depend on
Mass and distribution of mass relative to the axis of rotation
Moment of inertia symbol and unit
I
Kgm2
Radius of gyration symbol and unit
k
m
What is radius of gyration
Distance between axis of rotation and point at which an objects mass could be concentrated to keep the same angular inertia as the object had in to original shape
What are newtons laws of motion (angular version)
- A rigid object will remain in its current state of angular motion unless a net external moment is applied
- The change in angular motion (angular acceleration) of an object is directly proportional to the net momentum acting on the object, and inversely proportional to the objects momentum of inertia
- For every action there’s an equal and opposite rxn
Explain “a rigid object will remain in its current state of angular motion unless a net external momentum is applied”
-The object will not rotate if it was not rotating to begin with
-The object will continue rotating at a constant angular velocity if it was already rotating
What is momentum
The quantity of motion that a body/object has
Angular momentum symbol and units
H
Kgm2/s
T or F: in human movement, the moment of inertia is not always constant
T
-it can change as we alter the configuration of body segments
As moment of inertia increases, does angular velocity increase or decrease
Decreases
Give an example of moment of inertia increasing as angular velocity decreases
Charlottes turns w arms in=faster/more rotation
Why does a sphere accelerate faster than a ring
The sphere has the lowest radius of gyration (k) and moment of inertia (I)
Law of action rxn examples
Knee extension:
Vastus mm produce equal and opposite moments on the shank and thigh
Falling forward:
Circle arms forward to create a moment in the CCW direction creating a CW moment at the trunk
What is deformable bodies
Considers deformation when force is applied
Two types of forces
Internal and external
Internal forces
Act within system of interest
-holds musculoskeletal system together
-can result from external forces
External forces
Act on the system as a result of its interaction w surrounding environment
-affect internal structures
Why is it important to understand the mechanical properties of tissues and how they respond to forces
- evaluating injury mechanisms
- preventing injury
Unit for stress
Pa
What is axial direction
Tension/compression; stress acts perpendicular to analysis plane
What is transverse direction
Shear; stress acts parallel to analysis plane
What 3 types of stresses represent the principal stresses
Tensile
Compressive
Shear
What is tension (tensile stress)
Stress due to a force that pulls apart the molecules bonding the object together
-forces act perpendicular to analysis plane
-tensions causes the object to stretch in the direction of the external force
Example of tension (tensile stress)
Hanging from a bar -sprain, mm tears, dislocation
Compression (compressive stress)
Stress due to a force that pushes molecules of an object more tightly together
-forces act perpendicular to analysis plane
- compression tends to cause the object to shorten in the direction of the external force
