Miomechanical Principles Flashcards
What are forces related to?
Mass and Motion
Miomechanics
Study of force that are applied to the outside and inside of the body and the body’s reaction to those forces.
What is included under laws of motion?
Law of Inertia, Law of Acceleration, Law of Action-Reaction
What does the laws of motion form?
The framework from which advanced motion analysis techniques are derived
What is Newton’s first law?
A body remains at rest or at a constant linear velocity except when compelled by an external force to change its state.
What is Newton’s first law called?
Law of Inertia
What is Newton’s first law in rotational application?
A body remains at rest or at a constant angular velocity around an axis of rotation unless compelled by an external torque to change its state
When is a body at static equilibrium?
when its linear and and rotational velocities are zero - the body is not moving
When is the body in dynamic equilibrium?
When its linear and/or rotational velocity is not at zero, but it constant.
In all cases of equilibrium, the linear and rotation ___________ of the body are at _______?
1) Acceleration
2) Zero
What is Inertia?
The amount of energy required to alter the velocity of a body
What is the inertia of the body directly proportional to?
Its mass (the amount of matter constituting the body
Center of gravity
Point which the effects of gravity are completely balanced
Center of mass
Point where the center of mass is evenly distributed in all directions.
Where is the center of mass in a human body in anatomic position?
Lies just anterior to the second sacra vertebra, but will change as the individual moves.
