Linear Kinetics Flashcards
Ligma
Define Bio mechanics
The study of motion and the effects of forces relative to the body
What does biomechanics apply
The laws of mechanics and physics to human performance
Linear Kinetics Defo
Concerned with motion that occurs in a straight line
Angular kinetics defo
Concerned with motion that occurs around an axis
Define Force
The pushing or pulling effect one body can have on another body
What does force do to objects
Make objects stop moving/move, change their speed,direction
Where are forces found
Internal: Muscles and tendons
External: Air/water resistance, gravity, friction
Force-motion
The application of force to create motion
Velocity
The rate of the positional change of an object
Acceleration
The rate of change in velocity
Mass
The amount of matter contained within an object or body
Body
Refers to a human body, another object or a surface
Friction
The force that opposes the efforts of one body to move over another
4 types of friction
Static: Between objects that are not moving
Sliding: When two objects slide over each other
Rolling: When an object rolls over another object
Fluid: Friction caused by water/air
Inertia
The amount of resistance to change an objects state of motion
