General Kinematics Flashcards
What is General kinematics
A combination of angular and linear motion. Combines angular + linear displacement, angular + linear velocity, angular + linear acceleration
general kinematics demonstrates…
the importance of frame of referent to segmental velocity
Angular kinematics taught us how to solve for…
The velocity of a segment about a particular joint
Angular kinematics taught us how to solve for the velocity of a segment about a particular joint, but if the joint is moving…
The velocity of the joint will change the velocity of the segment (relative to a reference point)
The velocity of a segment relative to the ground is…
The vector sum of the segments velocity relative to the joint, and the velocity of that joint relative to the ground
What is the equation of how to get the velocity of a segment relative to the ground?
Va/g = Va/b + Vb/g
Va/b is given as a ____ velocity and you need to convert it to a ____ velocity
angular
Linear
