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. Rate of motion in a specific direction






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






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






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






5. 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.






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






7. Location in space in relation to a fix point






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






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






10. 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






11. Mechanics of objects in accelerated motion.






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






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






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






15. Accelerate our bodies






16. 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






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






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






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






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






21. The capacity to do work






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






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






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






25. Speeding up in a positive direction






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






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






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






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






30. Linear motion






31. 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.






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






33. 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






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






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






36. The rate of doing work






37. Distance traveled/time






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






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






40. 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.






41. Energy due to deformation






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






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






44. Energy due to position






45. Speed and velocity






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






47. Linear motion






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






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






50. Rectilinear translation and Curvilinear translation
