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. Speed and velocity






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






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






5. The muscle elongates is an example of negative work






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






7. 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.






8. Energy due to deformation






9. Location in space in relation to a fix point






10. Accelerate our bodies






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






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






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






14. The rate of doing work






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






16. The capacity to do work






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






18. Linear motion






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






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






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






22. Energy due to position






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






24. Distance traveled/time






25. Rate of motion in a specific direction






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






27. 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.






28. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






37. Rate of motion of an object






38. Mechanics of objects in accelerated motion.






39. Energy due to motion






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






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






42. Rectilinear translation and Curvilinear translation






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






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






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






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






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






48. 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.






49. Speeding up in a positive direction






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