Chapter 9 Kinesiology (page 26) Flashcards
Every body continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless it is acted upon by an outside force. This statement is _______________.
Newton’s First Law of Motion
____________ is the study of the principles of mechanics and anatomy in relation to human movement.
Kinesiology
______________: Acceleration of a body is proportional to the force causing it.
Newton’s Second Law of Motion
This refers to any device that is used to accomplish work by applying force in some way to gain mechanical advantage.
Machines
________________ states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Newton’s Third Law of Motion
This is the study and analysis of mechanical kinesiology or human performance through the principles of mechanics.
Biomechanics
Structural Kinesiology is understanding one’s ability to _________________.
Move anatomically
Give 5 examples of Simple Machines
- *1. Pulley
2. Wheel and axle
3. Lever
4. Inclined plane
5. Screw**
Lever is rigid bar which revolves about a fixed point, the ________.
Fulcrum
________ is a simple machine used to change the direction of the pulling force by means of a band, belt, etc.
Pulley
The ratio of the force which performs useful work of a machine to the force which is applied to the machine. This explains the concept of _______________.
Mechanical Advantage
Mechanical Advantage is represented by the ratio of the ________________ to the ________________. (MA = FA/RA)
Length of the power arm
Length of the resistance arm
_____________: The force is located between the fulcrum and the weight.
Third Class Lever
____________: The weight is between the fulcrum and the force.
Second Class Lever
The fulcrum is between the force and the weight.
First Class Lever
In a simple lever, force applied at right angles to the lever, multiplied by the force arm equals weight times resistance arm. This shows the concept of _____________.
Laws of Levers
(F x FA = W x RA)
___________ is the distance from the fulcrum to the point where force is applied.
___________ is the distance from the fulcrum to the center of gravity of the weight.
The Force Arm
The Weight Arm
_________ of the body act as levers which creates mechanical advantage of strength or speed by producing a turning motion about an axis.
Bones
Most of the movements of the body are produced by ___________ levers.
Third class
______________ can give strength or speed depending on where the fulcrum is located. ______________ are oriented towards speed of movement rather than strength. ____________ give strength.
First Class Levers
(>,<,=1)
Third Class Levers
(<1)
Second Class Levers
(>1)
To be most effective, the force must be directed ____________ to the lever.
At right angles
