Test 2- Part 2: Laws of Motion Flashcards
What are the two types of motion?
Linear motion
Angular motion
Motion cannot occur w/ out what?
Force (muscular system)
What is linear motion aka?
Translatory motion
Distance that a system moves in a straight line
Linear displacement
What are the two types of linear motion/.
Rectilinear motion
Curvilinear motion
Motion along a straight line
Rectilinear motion
Motion along a line
Linear motion
Motion along a curved line
Curvilinear
Rotation around an axis
Angular (rotary motion)
Where in the body are the axis of rotation provided by?
Joints
_________ motion of joints produces the _______ motion of walking
Angular
Linear
Change in position or location of an object from its original point of reference
Displacement
Actual sum length it is measured to have traveled
Distance (path of movement)
Change in location of a rotating body
Angular displacement
Distance that a system moves in a straight line
Linear displacement
How fast an object is moving, or distance that an object moves in a specific amount of time
Speed
Rate at which an object changes position. Includes the direction & describes the rate of displacement
Velocity
Explain the law of inertia
A body in motion tends to remain in motion at the same speed in a straight line unless acted on by a force; a body at rest tends to remain at rest unless acted on by a force
Resistance to action or change (acceleration/deceleration)
Inertia
How do muscles produce force?
Stop motion Start motion Accelerate motion Decelerate motion Change direction of motion
The greater an objects mass, the greater the __________
Inertia
More mass=
More force needed to significantly change an object’s inertia
Any activity carried out at a steady pace in a constant direction will ___________ energy
Conserve (endurance runners)
