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






2. Location in space in relation to a fix point






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






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






5. 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






6. 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.






7. Mechanics of objects in accelerated motion.






8. Energy due to deformation






9. Linear motion






10. Rate of motion in a specific direction






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






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






13. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






20. 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.






21. Speed and velocity






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






23. Rate of motion of an object






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






25. 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






26. The capacity to do work






27. The muscle elongates is an example of negative work






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






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






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






31. 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.






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






33. Displacement/time






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






35. Energy due to motion






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






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






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






39. Speeding up in a positive direction






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






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






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






43. Energy due to position






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






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






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






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






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






49. The rate of doing work






50. Rectilinear translation and Curvilinear translation
