Mechanical Principles Final Flashcards
What’s Newtons first law of motion?
law of inertia
a body at rest will stay at rest or continue at a constant velocity and in a straight line unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force
Newtons second law of motion
law of acceleration
acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force acting on it, is in the same direction of the force acting on it, and is inversely related to the mass of the object.
Newtons third law of motion
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
What is force?
Mass X acceleration
What is velocity?
displacement/time
or
v=s/t
What is speed?
d/t
or
distance/time
what is impulse?
f X t
or
change in momentum
What is acceleration?
change in velocity/ change in time
or
A=f/m
What is momentum?
mass X velocity
what is work?
force X distance
what is power?
(force X distance)/ time or work/time or force X velocity
Surface drag
drag derived from friction between the fluid and the object pasing through the fluid boundary
Wave drag
drag derived from the generation of waves at the interface between two different fluids, such as air and water
form drag
derived from a pressure differential between the lead and rear sides of a body moving through a fluid
def. of drag
collection of fluid forces that tend to oppose the action an athlete is performing
3 types of friction
static, >sliding,> rolling
what is static friction?
between the surfaces of two objects in contact with each other
is the resistive force for the initiation of movement
roughness and weight of an object
What is sliding friction?
a type of kinetic frictions
resistive force between the surfaces of two sliding objects
What is rolling friction?
type of kinetic friction
resistive force of the suface of one object rolling over the surface of another object
What is rolling friction affected by?
friction between two surfaces in contact
pressure or weight between the two surfaces
diameter of the rolling object
What is strength?
amount of force produced in a single effort
what is energy?
ability to perform work
kinetic energy def. and equation
energy in action
KE=1/2mv^2
what is potential energy?
stored energy ready for use
