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






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






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






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






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






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






7. Forces that act within the object or system whose motion is being investigated.






8. Linear motion






9. The rate of doing work






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






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






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






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






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






15. Linear motion






16. Accelerate our bodies






17. Rectilinear translation and Curvilinear translation






18. All of the momentum of one object is transferred to the other (two pennies example)






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






20. 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






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






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






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






24. Act parallel to the contacts and opposes motion or sliding between the surfaces i.e. the backward of the runners foot strike gives the runner horizontal motion.






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






26. Everybody continues in a state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line - unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it






27. Duration of an event - SI unit if seconds - minutes - hours and days all based on s.






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






29. Mechanics of objects in accelerated motion.






30. Displacement/time






31. Energy due to deformation






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






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






34. Distance traveled/time






35. The muscle elongates is an example of negative work






36. Energy due to motion






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






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






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






40. Occurs when an object moves in a positive direction but is slowing down






41. The capacity to do work






42. Rate of motion of an object






43. Speed and velocity






44. 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






45. Rate of motion in a specific direction






46. Location in space in relation to a fix point






47. Energy due to position






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






49. Change in position that occurs when all points on a body or object move in circular paths about the same fixed axis - also referred to as rotary motion or rotation.






50. Speeding up in a positive direction
