Torques, Angular Kinetics/Kinematics Flashcards
Since producing torque requires force, there just be: (3)
Magnitude (how much)
Direction (linear and line of action)
Point of application
How to create more torque (without changing force):
Move “hand farther away from axis = inc moment arm
T= F*r
r = moment arm
The _______ the moment arm the greater the _______.
Longer/ greater
Torque
When forces are the _______ with a ______ moment arm = ____ _____
Same
Long
Greater torque
When is the moment arm the longest in the human body (muscle and joint systems?
90 degrees
- extend slightly- attachment moves closer to axis = moment arm shorter – same with < 90dg
What determines the amount of torus we generate?
Moment arm length Muscular force (strength of contraction) Position/angle of the joint
Longer radius =
Greater velocity for any given angle
S=wr = change in angle / t
Longer club =
Greater linear velocity = greater displacement
Components of Angular Acceleration
Tangential
Centripetal
The Moment of Inertia equation applies best to:
Objects in which distribution of mass is constant through the rotation
Can angular moment be changed after leaving the ground?
No, but angular velocity can change (rotate faster = dec moment of inertia
Angular Momentum: changes in linear motion
Rigid and Non-Rigid
- Rigid object: generally depends on change in angular velocity (w)
- Non-Rigid: easily influenced by changes in avg. velocity (w) OR the moment of inertia (I)
Why does Newton’s 1st not require the angular velocity to remain constant?
change in angular velocity countered by change in moment of inertia
- H~= (dec) I * (inc) w
The _______ the object is immersed the ______ the ______.
Deeper submerged
Greater
Pressure
What is the name for when the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid?
Archimedes Principle
How does temperature effect the SG water?
high temp = dec SG (molecules farther apart)
Cold temps = inc SG (molecules closer together)
When will an object float?
When an object has SG less than water
- will weight less than an equal volume of water
When will an object sink?
When an object has a SG greater than water
- weight more than an equal volume of water
What are the two components that determine if an object will float or sink?
Density
Specific Gravity
What is a dynamic fluid force dependent on?
Density of fluid
SA of the object
Relative Velocity of the object to the fluid
What are the 2 major components of dynamic fluid force?
Drag
Lift
What are the 2 types of drag forces?
Surface
Form
Surface Drag- Cd is influenced by:
- Roughness of the object surface
2. Fluid viscosity (friction btw fluid layers)
Form Drag- Cd is influenced by:
- Objects shape
2. Surface texture
How do you reduce drag? (4)
- Make body surface/ clothing smoother
- Streamline shape
- Reduce SA exposed to flow
- Perform at: high altitude, in warm water, draft, run with wind
