test2 Flashcards
kinetics
the branch of dynamics concerned w the forces that cause or tend to cause motion
law of inertia
every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that stage by the forces impresses upon it
law of acceleration
(object will accelerate in direction of force) the change of motion of an object is proportional to the force impressed; and is made in the direction of a straight line in which the force is impressed
law of action reaction
to every action, there is always am opposed and equal reaction: or the mutual action of two bodies upon each other are always equal and directed to contrary parts
law of universal gravitation
all objects attract each other with a gravitational force that is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between objects
what formula is associated with newton’s second law?
EF=ma
impulse
the product of force and the time during which the force acts (change in momentum)
momentum
the product of an objects mass and linear velocity
relation between impulse and momentum
the impulse produced by the net force acting over some duration of time causes a change in momentum of the object upon which net force acts
coefficient if restitution
the absolute value of the ratio of the velocity of separation to the velocity of approach
the relationship between mass and weight
mass is how much matter an object has; weight is mass including the effects of gravity
mechanical work
the product of force and the amount of displacement that occurs in the direction of that force (it is the means by which energy is transferred from one system to another)
positive work
when they contract and their point(s) it attachment move in the direction of the muscle force pulling on them (force and displacement are in the same direction) muscle shortens, contraction is concentric
negative work
when they contract and their pint(s) of attachment (force and displacement in opposite direction); muscle lengthens, contraction is eccentric
in a concentric lift, what kind of work is done?
POSITIVE
