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. Mechanics of objects in accelerated motion.






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






3. Rate of motion in a specific direction






4. Rectilinear translation and Curvilinear translation






5. The capacity to do work






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






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






8. 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.






9. The rate of doing work






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






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






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






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






14. Energy due to deformation






15. Location in space in relation to a fix point






16. 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.






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






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






19. 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.






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






21. Speed and velocity






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






23. 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






24. Displacement/time






25. Energy due to motion






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






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






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






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






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






31. Energy due to position






32. Linear motion






33. Linear motion






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






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






36. Distance traveled/time






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






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






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






40. Speeding up in a positive direction






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






42. Rate of motion of an object






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






50. Accelerate our bodies
