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. Accelerate our bodies






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






3. 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






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






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






6. The capacity to do work






7. Energy due to deformation






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






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






10. 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.






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






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






13. Energy due to position






14. Linear motion






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






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






17. Rate of motion in a specific direction






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






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






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






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






22. Speed and velocity






23. The muscle elongates is an example of negative work






24. Mechanics of objects in accelerated motion.






25. 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.






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






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






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






29. Displacement/time






30. Linear motion






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






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






33. Rectilinear translation and Curvilinear translation






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






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






36. 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






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






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






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






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






41. Rate of motion of an object






42. 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






43. Distance traveled/time






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






45. Speeding up in a positive direction






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






47. 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.






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






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






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