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






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






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






4. Energy due to motion






5. The capacity to do work






6. Rectilinear translation and Curvilinear translation






7. Mechanics of objects in accelerated motion.






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






9. Distance traveled/time






10. Energy due to position






11. 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.






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






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






14. 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






15. The rate of doing work






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






17. 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.






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






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






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






21. Location in space in relation to a fix point






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






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






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






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






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






27. Linear motion






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






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






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






31. The muscle elongates is an example of negative work






32. Rate of motion of an object






33. Rate of motion in a specific direction






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






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






36. 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






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






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






39. Speeding up in a positive direction






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






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






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






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






44. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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