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






2. Rectilinear translation and Curvilinear translation






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






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






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






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






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






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






9. Energy due to motion






10. Linear motion






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






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






13. The capacity to do work






14. Location in space in relation to a fix point






15. Accelerate our bodies






16. Rate of motion of an object






17. Energy due to position






18. Mechanics of objects in accelerated motion.






19. Speeding up in a positive direction






20. Linear motion






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






22. Displacement/time






23. 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.






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






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






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






27. 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.






28. Distance traveled/time






29. 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.






30. 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






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






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






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






34. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






41. Speed and velocity






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






43. Rate of motion in a specific direction






44. Energy due to deformation






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






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






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






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






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






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