18
Q

Why do you have greater potential energy when your position on the earth is higher up?

A

The higher up you are, the more force that can be exerted resulting in increased work when resolution occurs

Q

What are the three laws of rotation that are equivalent to Newton’s laws?

A

1) A body continues in a state or rest or rotation about its axis until an external force acts on it
2) The acceleration of a rotating body is directly proportional to the torque causing it, in the same direction as the torque, and is inversely proportional to the movement of inertia of the body
3) When a torque is applied by one body to another, the second body will exert an equal and opposite torque on the first

21
Q

What is an example of the third law of conservation of rotation? (When a torque is applied by one body to another, the second body will exert an equal and opposite torque on the first)

A

Reverse muscle action

22
Q

What is inertia?

A

A reluctance of an object to motion or a change in its motion

23
Q

What are the four things inertia depends on?

A
  • quantity of rotating mass

- the objects distribution around the axis of motion

24
Q

True or false:

With the same speed of rotation, the farther you are from the axis, the less inertia you have.

A

False–the farther you are from the axis, the more inertia you have.

25
Q

True or false:

Body position affects inertia. Why or why not?

A

True–this is because body position affects mass distribution (think of an ice skater with their arms out and then their arms in)

26
Q

What is a change in angular acceleration that is directly proportional to the torque and inversely proportional to the moment of inertia

A

Rotary acceleration

27
Q

What is the tendency to persist in rotary motion that is the product of moment of inertia and angular velocity?

A

Angular momentum

28
Q

In lamen’s terms, what is rotary acceleration and angular momentum?

A

Rotary acceleration= how fast the angles are changing

Angular momentum= how long the force continues to exist

29
Q

What is the conservation of angular momentum?

A

The total angular momentum of a body will remain constant unless acted upon by an external torque

30
Q

What are simple machines that work to convert a force into a torque?

A

Levers

31
Q

How many classes of levers are there? What “type” of lever is each? An muscular example of each?

A

3:
1= teeter totter (triceps)
2= wheelbarrow (brachioradialis with unweighted arm)
3= hammer? (biceps)

32
Q

What is the benefit of a first class lever?

A

Redirection of force a change of direction of force

33
Q

What is the benefit of a second class lever?

A

Smaller amount of force needed for heavy load (however, you sacrfice ROM for power)

34
Q

What is the benefit of a third class lever?

A

A large effort force is applied to gain advantage of increased speed of movement and ROM

35
Q

What is the most common lever in the body?

A

Class 3

36
Q 
True or false:
Levers can change from class to class.
A

True–at least in the brachioradialis’ case. It can change from a class 2 to a class 3 when weight is added to the hand

37
Q

What is the lever arm?

A

Portion of lever between fulcrum and force application

38
Q

What is the effort arm (force arm)? The resistance arm (movement arm)?

A

Effort arm= perpendicular distance between fulcrum & line of pull
Movement arm= perpendicular distance between fulcrum and line of resistance

39
Q

What is the turning effect of a rotary force?

A

Torque (the product of force magnitude and the length of the movement arm)

40
Q

What is the angle in which levers are able to make the most amount of torque?

A

90 degrees

41
Q

What is the angle of pull?

A

The angle between muscle insertion and the bone on which it inserts

42
Q

In terms of angle of pull, what is the x and y axis?

A 
X= mechanical axis of bone (parallel to lever-> non-rotary component)
Y= perpendicular to mechanical axis of bone (perpendicular to the lever -> rotary component)
43
Q

What angle of pull do most resting muscles have?

A

Less than 90 degrees

44
Q

Where is the non-rotary force directed? The dislocating force? The rotary force?

A

Non-rotary=toward the fulcrum
Rotary= the moving limb
Dislocating force= away from fulcrum

45
Q

What does an anatomical pulley do?

A

Changes the angle of pull of the muscle that is providing the force (this increase in angle of pull increases the rotary component)

46
Q

What is an example of an anatomical pulley?

A

Patella, sesamoid bones

47
Q

What is the perpendicular distance from the line of force to the axis of rotation?

A

Movement arm length

48
Q

In the body, the weight of a segment cannot be altered instanteously. Because of this, how can we change torque of a segment that is due to a gravitational force?

A

Changing the length of the movement arm

49
Q

True or false:

The sum of two or more torques may result in no motion, linear motion, or rotary motion.

A

True

50
Q

An example of summation of torques would be?

A

Turning the steering wheel

51
Q

What is the angle that is caused by resistance rather than the force of the muscle?

A

Angle of resistance (it’s the same thing as angle of pull except it’s outside the body)
