Ppt 3 Flashcards
Physics is
The study of motion, matter, and energy interaction
Knowledge of physics helps to understand…
body mechanics physiology that is the backbone of medicine
Newton’s First Law of Motion
An object at rest or moving at constant speed in a straight line will continue in that state until a net external force acts upon it. This is the law of inertia.
Newton’s Second Law of Motion
-Force is equal to mass times acceleration
F=m x a
-If multiple forces exist, the direction and acceleration are proportional to the sum of all the forces. These are called VECTORS.
Newton’s Third Law of Motion
For every action there is equal and opposite reaction
Mass is the
total of all matter in an object: sum of ALL protons, electrons, neutrons. From a physics perspective, mass is the resistance of an object to acceleration.
- Measured in KILOGRAMS
Larger mass requires
a greater force than a smaller mass.
Weight is
total effect of gravity pulling on all these electrons, protons, and neutrons of an object.
-Measured in NEWTONS
Average velocity
displacement/time
Has a vector quanitity and has direction.
Speed is
distance/time
Scalar quantity with no particular direction
Vectors
have magnitude and direction
What determines axis deviation of the heart?
ECG uses vector analysis
Resultant vector
when two or more vectors are added
The end of the tip is called the
head
the other end of a vector is called the
tail
Acceleration
change in velocity/change in time
Force
the amount of energy required to move an object
A newton is
Force required to accelerate a 1kg weight 1 meter per second
Dyne is
100000th of a newton
small scale used for blood. Ex: SVR, PVR
Force measurement in accelerometry is used to measure
accelerometry is used to measure the degree of neuromuscular bockade
Ulnar nerve is stimulated contraction of
adductor pollicis
Explain TOF
quantification of the degree of neuromuscular blockade
Gravity
universal attraction between all objects
G earth
9.81 m/s^2=32.2 ft/s^2
