Mechanical Principles Of Human Movement

Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Linear motion that occurs when an object maintains its orientation during a movement so that all points on the object move the same distance - in the same direction - in the same time but not in straight lines.






2. Are forces that act on an object as a result of interaction with the environment surrounding it. Either non - contact or contact forces.






3. Location in space in relation to a fix point






4. Linear motion that occurs when a object maintains its orientation during a movement so that all points on the object move the same distance - in the same direction - in the same time - in strain lines






5. The branch of dynamics concerned with the description of motion (linear - angular and general motion).






6. Act perpendicular to the surface in contact and move the objects in opposite ways i.e. the downward force from a runners foot strike moves runner up away from the earth.






7. When an object speeds up - slows down - starts - stops or changes direction. Can be positive or negative






8. Defined as the absolute value of the ratio of the velocity of separation of velocity of approach






9. Energy due to position






10. Linear motion






11. A measure of the length of a path followed by an object






12. The change of motion of an object is proportional to the force impressed; and is made in the direction of the straight line in which the force is impressed






13. Done by a force acting on an object when the object is displaced in the direction opposite the force acting on it






14. Measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. Changes with location.






15. Distance traveled/time






16. A change in position that results from a combination of both linear and angular motion. Most movement is general is nature






17. The branch of dynamics concerned with the forces that cause or tend to cause motion (external forces - Newton's laws).






18. The muscle elongates is an example of negative work






19. Rate of motion of an object






20. The science concerned with the effects of forces acting on objects.






21. The action or process of change in position - in which two things are necessary.






22. The objects stay together and move with the same velocity after impact (full back and linebacker)






23. The branch of dynamics concerned with the forces that cause or tend to cause motion






24. Used to describe a change in position - the SI unit is meters - may also see miles - yards - feet and inches.






25. Rate of motion in a specific direction






26. The capacity to do work






27. The means by which energy is transferred from one object or system to another






28. SI units are the most commonly accepted units of measure based on the metric system.






29. Force that occur even if the objects are not touching i.e. gravity or magnetic.






30. The shortening phase of the muscle in an isotonic lift is an example of positive work






31. Are forces that occur between objects in contact with each other i.e. air and water.






32. Speed and velocity






33. Done by a force acting on an object if the object is displaced in the same direction as the force






34. To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction






35. The property of an object to resist changes in its motion.






36. Measure of inertia; the quantity of matter in an object. Does not change with location.






37. The product of force and the amount of displacement in the direction of that force






38. Mechanics of objects at rest of moving at a constant velocity.






39. The rate of doing work






40. A push or a pull. They cause objects to start - stop - speed up - slow down or change direction. (N)






41. The product of forece multiplied by the time that force acts






42. Accelerate our bodies






43. Linear motion






44. Energy due to motion






45. In reference to height - the greater the height the more gravitational potential energy






46. Energy due to deformation






47. The study of forces and their effects on living systems.






48. Is a mathematical representation of anything that is defined by its size or magnitude (a number) and its direction (its orientation).






49. Speeding up in a positive direction






50. The distance traveled in a straight line from the starting point to the ending point
