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






2. Rectilinear translation and Curvilinear translation






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






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






5. Accelerate our bodies






6. 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






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






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






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






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






11. Location in space in relation to a fix point






12. 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.






13. Rate of motion in a specific direction






14. Linear motion






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






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






17. Energy due to motion






18. Mechanics of objects in accelerated motion.






19. Displacement/time






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






21. Energy due to position






22. The capacity to do work






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






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






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






26. Linear motion






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






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






29. 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.






30. 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.






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






32. Distance traveled/time






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






34. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






41. 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






42. Rate of motion of an object






43. 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.






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






45. Speeding up in a positive direction






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






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






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






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






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