Dynamics Flashcards
What is parallel force?
Forces run parallel, e.g. propelling wheelchair
What is tangential force?
Force moves in direction of tangent to shape/path of object
What is torque?
Rotating/twisting
Which force has convergent and divergent types?
Concurrent
Which force is associated with shear?
Tangential
What is biomechanics?
Application of mechanics to the structure and function of biological systems
What is Newton’s second law?
Acceleration is inversely proportional to mass
If net force is greater than 0, item accelerates proportional to magnitude of net force, in same direction
What is a moment?
Turning/bending caused by force on lever arm, with one arm fixed
What does a vector have?
Magnitude
Direction
Position
What is a first class lever?
Effort - fulcrum - load
What lever is effort - fulcrum - load?
First class
What is a second class lever?
Fulcrum - load - effort
What lever is fulcrum - load - effort?
Second class
What is a third class lever?
Fulcrum - effort - load
What lever is fulcrum - effort - load?
Third class
