Kinetics and Forces Flashcards
the study of motion under the influence of forces
kinetics
change in position over time
motion- displacement
linear displacement
translatory motion
The segment moves in a curved path around a fixed axis (AoR)
rotary motion
angular displacement
rotary motion
the study of motion without regard to the forces that cause it
kinematics
sagittal plane moves around
x axis
transverse plane moves around
y axis
the frontal (coronal) plane moves around
z axis
displacement per unit of time regardless of direction
speed
distance traveled in a certain time in a certain direction
velocity
change in velocity per unit of time
acceleration
a push or pull
force
4 components of force vectors
magnitude
direction
line of action
point of application
force acting to rotate a body around an axis
moment
tends to cause or change rotary movement
moment
effect of a rotary force depends on:
2
magnitude of the force
moment arm length
