Q

What is linear inertia?

A

a body will remain at rest or in constant motion unless acted upon by a net external force, resistance of a body to changes in its motion

Q

What are the three types of levers in the body and an example for each?

A
  • lever systems (biceps brachii pulling on radius)
  • wheel and axle systems (rotator cuff muscles pulling on humerus)
  • pulley systems (patella)
17
Q

What is a lever?

A

a rigid structure hinged at one point with forces applied at another point

18
Q

What is a first class lever?

A

lever of balance, head balancing on spine, fulcrum in middle

19
Q

What is a second class lever?

A

lever of strength, standing on toes, resistance in the middle

20
Q

What is a third class lever?

A

lever of speed and ROM, bicep curls, effort in the middle

21
Q

What is mechanical advantage?

A
  • amount of one to overcome the other
  • based on distance (moment arm) forces are from fulcrum
  • length of effort arm vs length of resistance arm
22
Q

What is the formula for mechanical advantage?

A

effort arm/resistance arm

23
Q

What is torque?

A

turning effort produced by a force, force is applied away from COM/axis of rotation

24
Q

What is the formula for torque?

A

applied force x moment arm
