Q

What is the impulse momentum relationship? where is the relationship derived from?

A

The impulse of a force applied to an object causes a change in momentum of the object
Relationship is derived from Newton’s 2nd Law: ∑F = m*a
*Given that: a = Δv/Δt
*Then: ∑F = m * Δv/Δt
Rearranged: ∑FΔt = m * Δv
OR
∑FΔt = m(vf-vi)

Q

What is the second type of potential energy? where is it found? how does it occur?

A

A second type of potential energy exists: Elastic Potential Energy

It is present in non-rigid, or deformable bodies (springs, ligaments, bones and muscles).

Non-rigid bodies are capable of storing, then releasing mechanical energy depending on their physical properties and the amount of deformation they experience.

*The more a spring is stretched or depressed, the more mechanical energy it stores.

For a force to do work on a body there must be some displacement of the body in the direction of the force.

The work done by a constant force (F), which displaces a body through (d) metres is defined as: Newton x meter

39

force/displacement

41
Q

What are 2 key differences between positive and negative work?

A

Positive work
1. force doing work on the body (pushing a crate along the floor)
2.done by a force acting in the SAME direction as the object is displaced.
Ex. Push a box, lift weight, pull-up

Negative work
1.body doing work on the force (negative or extension phase of a biceps curl when the motion is in the downward direction but the muscle is exerting an upwards force)
2.done by a force acting in the OPPOSITE direction as the object is displaced.
Ex. Catch ball, lower weight

42
Q

How is work calculated when force and displacement are vectors? is it a vector or scalar product?

A

When the force and displacement are vectors, the work done is calculated using a dot product (scalar product)

43
Q

What is the equation of work using the dot product?

A

The work of a force is equal to the dot product of the force and the displacement of the body it acts upon
Wforce = F·d/ Fxdx + Fydy

44
Q

A

Note that the force does no mechanical work unless the object it acts upon moves (isometric muscle contractions do no work)

*Isometric contraction
–Muscle contracts
–No change in d
–No Work

45
Q

Does the bench press involve doing mechanical work?

A

No!
Total Work = sum of all work completed
*Wtotal = Wlower + Wraise
*Wtotal = -700J + 700J
*Wtotal = 0

It does involve physiological work though because calories are burned

46
Q

Work done by a moment of force is the product of the magnitude of the moment of force times the angular displacement of the body:

W = Mϴ (J)

49
Q

What is the definition of power?

What is it measured in?

A

Power is the rate of doing work – how quickly or slowly?

59
Q

What is the first kinematic variable?

  1. Position (where to and how far?)
    * the position of an object is simply its location in space
    * changes in position can be described by distance or displacement
60
Q

What is the second kinematic variable?

A
  1. Velocity (how fast?)
    * the velocity of an object is how fast it is changing its position

(Displacement/time)

61

    *the acceleration of an object is how fast the velocity is changing

(Velocity/time)

62
Q

A

Translational, Rotational or Both

63
Q

What is the definition of each?

A

Translational: all points in a body follow
parallel path. Can be either rectilinear or
curvilinear

Rotational: Particles within the body have
rotated with respect to their original frame of
reference

Both: Motion that happens in a single plane
and is some combination of rotation and
translation (most human movements)

64
Q

What are the main variables of concern in linear kinematics?

A

Distance vs Displacement
Speed vs Velocity
Acceleration

65
Q

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

A

DISTANCE:
Scalar
Measure of entire path length
Path dependent

DISPLACEMENT:
Vector
Measure of straight-line distance in a specific
direction
Path independent

66
Q

What is the definition of velocity? is it a vector or scalar product?

A

Velocity: the rate of change of displacement over time.

Velocity is a vector quantity because it always has an associated direction.

67
Q

How do you calculate average velocity?

A

v = ∆s /∆ t [m/s]
OR
v = sf - si /∆ t [m/s]

Where sf and si are the final and initial displacements in meters of the object and ∆t is the time elapsed in seconds.

68
Q

What is instantaneous velocity? how do you calculate it?

A

Specifies how fast and in what direction one is moving at one particular point in time

Achieved by reducing the change in time drastically (ex. 1000fps)
* i.e.: time between pictures is 0.001 seconds

V=ds/dt

69
Q

What is the difference between average velocity and instantaneous velocity?

A

average velocity:
the change in displacement over a finite duration

instantaneous velocity:
slope that is tangent to the displacement-time curve at a particular instance

70
Q

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

A

SPEED
*Scalar quantity
*Rate of motion
*Average or instantaneous
*s = d / Δt
–Where: s = speed
d = distance
Δt = time taken
*Units are m/s

VELOCITY
*Vector quantity
*Rate of motion with a specific
direction
*Average or instantaneous
* v = Δd/ Δt = ( df - di ) / ( tf - ti )
–Where: v = velocity
Δd = displacement
Δt = time taken
*Units are m/s [direction]

71
Q

Does average speed or average velocity typically have a higher magnitude?

How does this differ with direction?

A

Average speed typically has a higher magnitude than average velocity

*Straight line & rectilinear motion has speed and velocity identical
e.g.: 100m dash

*Motion changing direction – speed and velocity not the same magnitude
e.g.: 100 m swim – swimmer changes direction and average velocity = 0 because displacement = 0

72
Q

Is average speed or average velocity usually more important in a race?

A

*In a race average speed is often more important than average velocity
*When start and finish = same then average velocity = 0m/s

73
Q

what is the definition of acceleration?

What is the definition of differentiation?

A

When a body changes its velocity it is said to undergo acceleration

*Rate at which the velocity is changing (differentiation)

74
Q

What is an important consideration when measuring acceleration?

How can you tell if speed changes?

A

Important to set-up coordinate system and record the movement because you can’t “see” acceleration

If the signs of displacement and acceleration are the same
*speed INCREASES

If the signs of displacement and acceleration are different
*speed DECREASES

75
Q

What is the formula for acceleration? What is it measured in?

A

a = Vf - Vi / Tf - Ti

Measured in m/s2

76
Q

  2. negative acceleration
  3. negative acceleration
  4. positive acceleration
77
Q

When does constant linear velocity occur? How will the object move? What can we determine from it? What is the formula?

A

Occurs when the resultant force acting on an object is 0

Object will continue moving at constant velocity along the same straight line

If we know the object’s velocity and line of motion, we can determine the position of the object at any point in time

We can determine the final displacement of an object (sf) by knowing the object’s initial displacement (si) and the amount of time elapsed (t)
Sf = Si + vi ∆t

78
Q

When does constant linear acceleration occur? is the acceleration known? what can we determine from it?

A

Occurs whenever the resultant force acting on the object is a constant. Examples: gravity, friction.

The rate of acceleration is known

If we know the initial position and initial velocity of the object, we can predict the position and velocity of the object at any instant in time.

79
Q
