biomech Flashcards
kinematics
study of movement WITHOUT forces
(how far fast long)
sit to stand
kinetics
study of forces
Newtons first law of linear motion
object moves in uniform unless external force applied
newtons second law and equation
mass will accelerate proportional to force
f=ma
news third law
every action equal /opposite reaction
kinematic chain
types
linkage of rigid bodies
open/close
open chain
one end is free to move
close chain
both ends constrained
the relationship between ___ and ___ will dictate motion
internal forces/moments
external forces/moments
moments
equation
angular equilvanent of force
turning force
M=f/dt
moment arm
perp distance from LOA to AOR
newton second law angular motion
equation
inertia will angularly accelerate proportionally to moment arm
EM=Ixa

3 class levers
1 - middle ((Axis)
2- res in middle (resistance)
3- mm in middle (MM)
mech advantage
mm arm mm / mm arm resistance
Moments cause __ due to ___ when one end of linkage is fixed
angular rotation
linear force production
