Biomechanics II Flashcards
(101 cards)
Define force (2)
- any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object
- Push or pull
Force only exists as a result of …. (2)
- an interaction
- When the interaction ceases, the two objects no longer
experience the force
Define vector
When a physical property has both magnitude and direction its called a vector quantity
A force vector is characterized by…? (4)
- Magnitude
- Line of action
- Point of origin
- Sense
What is force component intensity?
- Force magnitude (amount of force applied)
- Length of segment
What is force component origin?
Where the vector of the force starts
What is force component direction?
Line of action of the force
What is force component sense?
Directions a vector may point
Units of force? (3)
- Newton
- Kilopond
- Dyne
Formula for force?
F= mass*acceleration
What is a newton?
- Is equal to 1 kilogram meter per second squared.
- Force required to accelerate an object with a mass of 1 kilogram 1 meter per second per second. 1 kg.m.s^-2
What is a kilopond?
Force exerted by a mass of 1 kilogram at the standardized
value of the acceleration due to Earth’s gravity, 9.80665 meters per second per second
What is a dyne?
The force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate
of one centimetre per second squared. 1 g⋅cm/s2
1g = ____ oz
0.035 oz
1oz = _____ g
28.35 g
1N = ____ oz
3.596 oz
1oz = ____ N
0.278 N
What is a dinamometer?

What are the forces (in a force system) with different characteristics acting together in the body? (5)
- Muscular contraction (cheeks, lips, tongue)
- Occlusion and mastication
- Forces of eruption
- Growth forces
- Orthodontic forces
What is a resultant?
A resultant is the only force that replaces them in a forcce system
What are the different types of resultants? (3)
- Same firection and sense
- Same direction and opposite sense
- Same origin and different direction
What are the resultants of the same direction and sense? (2)
- Intensity: addition of F
- Sense: sense of the F
What are the resultants of the same direction and opposite sense? (2)
- Intensity: subtract the smallest from the biggest
- Sense: sense of the bigger F
What are the resultants of the same origin and different direction?
Parallelogram method: resultant of 2 forces
