22
Q

Fluid Friction

A

Contact btw fluids or solid object with fluid on contact surfaces
Ex. Internal = blood and arteries/veins

23
Q

F = uR

A

F = friction
u = coefficient of friction
R = normal force
- the greater the R, the greater the friction

24
Q

Friction: Surface Area

A
  • does NOT affect friction
  • inc. SA proportionally countered by:
    Spreading R over greater area
    # of bonds per area is proportional to R
25
Q

How do you increase the fricitonal force?

A

Increase weight of the object/system = increase # of bonds

26
Q

How does the amount of force required to move and object change in relation to SA of the object?

A

The amount of force required to move an object will REMAIN THE SAME regardless of position of object (any side of object)

27
Q

What is the coefficient of friction dependent on (2)?

A
  • hardness (harder = less friction)

- surface texture (smooth = less friction)

28
Q

Which is greater btw any two surfaces: maximal static friction or dynamic friction?

A

Max static is ALWAYS greater than dynamic because it takes more force to put an object in motion than to keep it in motion

29
Q

Net Force

A
  • sum of all (vector) forces acting on an object

- generally considered same as resultant

30
Q

Colinear Forces

A
  • forces that have the same line of action
  • can be in opposite directions
  • add then together with appropriate signs (+/-) distinguishing direction
31
Q

Concurrent Forces

A

Forces that do not act in the same line but through the the same point

32
Q

The _______ the fiber the _______ the # of sarcomeres _________.

A

Longer
Greater

33
Q

The ______ the fiber the _______ the PCSA. And, the ______ # of sarcomeres in ______ arrangement.

A

Wider
Greater
Greater
Parallel

34
Q

Physiological Cross-Sectional Area (PCSA)

A
  • perpendicular to the m fiber

- muscle force is proportional to the PCSA

35
Q

Longitudinal Muscle Fibers

A
  • long series– sartorius m.
  • limited # of serial fibers that are // to each other = small PCSA
  • limited force, good ROM
36
Q

Fusiform/Spindle Muscle Fibers

A
  • biceps brachii
  • moderate # of fibers, series are shorter = small PCSA
  • fibers overlap, don’t extend full length of muscle
  • MOD force, good ROM
37
Q

Penniform/Pennate Muscle Fibers

A
  • deltoid, rectus femoris
  • large # of short fibers! short series that run // = large PCSA
  • tendon // to long axis, // fibers diagonal to axis
  • HIGH force, limited ROM
38
Q

Pennate Advantages and Disadvantages

A

Adv- higher # of sarcomeres = greater PCSA = inc. force potential

Dis- dec. ROM badged velocity of shortening, dec. force production as mm gets shorter

39
Q

Fusiform Advantages and Disadvantages

A

Adv- sarcomeres are in series = inc. velocity and ROM

Dis- lower # of // sarcomeres = lower PCSA (lower force capacity)

40
Q

When sarcomeres are in PARALLEL they have:

A

High force orientation

41
Q

When sarcomeres are IN SERIES they have:

A

High velocity and ROM orientation

A

An object at rest/motion stays at rest/motion (constant v) unless acted upon by an external force or forces

54
Q

Newron’s 2nd Law of Motion

A
  • If net external force acts on an object the object will accelerate in the direction of the line of force
  • The acceleration will be directly proportional to the net external force and inversely proportional to the object mass
55
