EXAM 1 REVIEW Flashcards
what type of displacement is translation + rotation?
general motion
__ __: pushes or pulls arising from outside the body
external forces
__ __: forces that act on structures of the body and arise from within the body (muscles, ligaments, bones)
internal forces
what is the most consistent and influential force encountered by the body in posture and movement?
forces of gravity
When masses of two or more segments are combined, where is the new COM vector?
the new COM vector is between & in line with the original two COM vectors
COM in anatomical position?
anterior to S2
if there is acceleration, can there be equilibrium?
no
which of Newtons laws?
An object will continue in current motion until a force causes the speed or direction to change
Law of Inertia - Newton’s 1st law
which of Newtons laws?
Acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the unbalanced forces (Funbal) or torques (Tunbal) and inversely proportional to the mass or moment of inertia
Law of acceleration - Newton’s 2nd law
___ force systems: two or more forces work on the same segment in the same line
the resultant force is the sum of the magnitudes
linear force systems
___ force systems: two or more forces work on the same segment from different angles
solve for the parallelogram using trigonometric functions
concurrent force systems
which of Newton’s laws?
for every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction
two objects touching each other result in reaction forces (reaction forces are never part of the same force system because the forces are acting on different objects)
Law of Reaction - Newton’s 3rd law
when is the magnitude of friction force always the greatest?
just before the object moves - this results in a drop of friction once the object is moving
__ ___: two forces equal in magnitude, opposite in direction, parallel and applied to the same object at different points
force couple
always produce a moment of force = torque
torque equation?
torque = (Force)(moment arm)
___ force systems: when two or more forces applied to the same object are parallel to one another
parallel force systems
___ ___: a third force is added to a force couple resulting in rotary and translator equilibrium
bending moments
a ___ is any rigid segment that rotates around a fulcrum
lever
in a lever system, __ force is greater than the ___ force to produce rotation
effort, resistance
1st class lever system?
Axis is between EF and RF
either EA or RA could be bigger
2nd class lever system?
RF is between axis and EF
EF MA is larger
3rd class lever system?
EF is between axis and RF
RF MA is larger
example of 1st class lever?
tilting head back
example of 2nd class lever?
raising heel off ground
