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. Speeding up in a positive direction






3. 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.






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






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






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






8. The rate of doing work






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






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






11. Displacement/time






12. Location in space in relation to a fix point






13. Speed and velocity






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






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






16. Distance traveled/time






17. Energy due to position






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






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






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






21. Rate of motion in a specific direction






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






23. Accelerate our bodies






24. 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






25. Energy due to deformation






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






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






28. The capacity to do work






29. Linear motion






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






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






32. 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.






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






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






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






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






37. The muscle elongates is an example of negative work






38. Mechanics of objects in accelerated motion.






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






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






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






42. 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.






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






44. Linear motion






45. Energy due to motion






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






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






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






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






50. Rate of motion of an object
