Exam 2 - Chapter 3 Kines Flashcards
Forces in nature can do what to motion?
produce, stop or modify motion
When force produces a push on an object
compression
When force produces a pull on an object
tension
When compression and tension are balanced, the object is said to be
in equilibrium
Force can be generated from _______ and _______ sources.
internal and external
The most common internal force is produced by
muscles
External forces include what types?
Fluid forces, contact forces, and gravity
This external force includes air and liquids
fluid resistance/ fluid force
This external force is described as a force acting in the opposite direction to the desired movement and occurring at the area of contact between the two surfaces
friction/ contact force
This external force is measured as the weight of the body though its COG
gravity
COG stands for what?
Center of Gravity
The point around which the body’s mass is evenly distributed
COG
Forms of fluid resistance include
buoyancy, drag and lift
An upward force equal to the weight of the displaced liquid
buoyancy
resistance to forward motion, of water over air
drag
change in fluid pressure as a result of differences in air or liquid flow velocities around an object
lift
Always produces rotary motion; two or more forces of equal magnitude, but opposite direction, applied to the same object but at different points of application, working together to cause movement
Force couple
center or point around which an object rotates
axis
