biomechanic defintions

Question 1

what is force

Answer 1

force is defined as a push or pull

Question 2

what is inertia

Answer 2

inertia is defined as the tendency for a body to resist a change in its state of motion

Question 2

what is friction

Answer 2

friction occurs when two surfaces come in contact with each other. Friction opposed the motion of an object.

Question 3

what is momentum

Answer 3

momentum is the amount of motion of an object and its resistance to changing that motion

Question 4

summation of momentum

Answer 4

any movement skill that involves multiple joints requires the summation of momentum from the beginning to the end of the skill.
SUMmation - to add

Question 4

conservation of momentum

Answer 4

when an objects total momentum is the same before and after a collision. Momentum is not lost, but instead it is conserved (transferred) between the two objects.

Question 4

impulse

Answer 4

impulse measures the change in momentum of a body / object

Question 4

newtons three laws

Answer 4

1. law of inertia
2. law of acceleration
3. law of action - reaction

Question 4

newtons first law

Answer 4

‘a body will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force’

Question 5

newtons second law

Answer 5

‘a force is applied to an object will produce a change in motion (acceleration) in the direction o the applied force that is directly proportion to the size of the force applied’

Question 6

newtons third law

Answer 6

‘for every action there is an equal and opposite direction’

Question 7

Angular momentum

Answer 7

angular momentum is a component of general motion which involves rotation around a central axis or a fixed point

Question 7

Linear motion

Answer 7

Linear motion is the movement of a body along a straight or curved path where all body parts move in the sane direction and speed
