Q

law of inertia

A

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

Q

law of acceleration

A

(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

Q

law of action reaction

A

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

Q

relation between impulse and momentum

A

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

Q

mechanical work

A

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)

13
Q

positive work

A

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

Q

negative work

A

when they contract and their pint(s) of attachment (force and displacement in opposite direction); muscle lengthens, contraction is eccentric

Q

in an eccentric lift, what kind of work is done

A

NEGATIVE

17
Q

in an isometric lift, what kind of work is done?

A

no work is done; occurs when a muscle contracts and it’s points of attachment do not move relative to each other- displacement=0 at point of muscle attachment

18
Q

energy

A

the capacity to do work

19
Q

kinetic energy

A

energy due to motion

20
Q

gravitational potential energy

A

energy due to position relative to the earth

21
Q

strain energy

A

energy due to deformation of an object

22
Q

relationship between mechanical work and energy

A

work- means by which energy is transferred from one object to another; energy- capacity to do work

23
Q

power

A

the rate of doing work (how much work is done in a specific amount of time) how quickly or slowly

24
Q

centric force

A

change in linear motion; external force that is directed through the center of gravity of an object

25
Q

eccentric force

A

change in liberal and angular motion; external force that is not through the center of gravity

26
Q

torque

A

the turning (rotation) effects produced by a force- angular and rotary force

27
Q

counterclockwise torque

A

positive

28
Q

clockwise torque

A

negative

29
Q

force couple

A

a pair of external forces that cause change in only the angular motion of an object

30
Q

relationship of torque and weight training

A

muscles create the torques that turn our limbs and that pulls on its point of attachment to the skeletal system when it contracts

31
Q

torque in static equilibrium

A

the net torque acting on an object must sum to zero to ensure that no changes occur in the angular motion of an object, for an object to truly be in equilibrium, the external forces and external torque (about any axis) must sum to zero

32
Q

resultant of two or more torques

A

can add or subtract torques that act around the same axis, just like forces that act in the same direction- in planar situations, we can calculate the net torque by summing the torques that act on an object

33
Q

center of gravity

A

the point in a body or system around which it’s mass or weight is evenly distributed or balanced through which the force of gravity acts

34
Q

center of mass

A

the point in a body or system of body’s as which the entire mass may be assumed to be concentrated

35
Q

stability

A

the capacity of an object to return to equilibrium or its original position after being displaced (not easily moved or thrown off balance)

36
Q

where should COG be located to maximize stability

A

should be located within base of support

37
Q

what happens if the COM falls out of the base of support

A

the object will fall

38
Q

estimate the center of gravity on the body

A

approximately 2.5-5.0cm below your navel (slightly higher than half of your standing height (55-57%)
