Define Newton's 1st Law: Law of Inertia. - correct answer An object will remain at rest or in motion unless acted on by an outside force. Define the center of mass of the human body. - correct answer The hypothetical point at which all mass appears to be concentrated. Located in the body anterior to S2 Does the center of mass change as the body's positioning changes? - correct answer ...

Biomechanics - correct answer Principles and methods of mechanics and applying them to the structure and function of the human body Static/Dynamic - correct answer Non-moving/moving systems Kinetic - correct answer Deals with forces causing movement Kineomatics - correct answer Involves time, space, and mass aspects of a moving system For...

Force-motion - correct answer GRF - force exerted by the ground on a body in contact with it Gravity - force that attracts a body towards centre of earth/body of mass ~ Unbalanced forces acting on our bodies or objects when we create or modify movement Force-time - correct answer Impulse = force (mass x acceleration) x time Nwtn's 2nd Law - greater time over which force is applied = greater resulting motion Ine...

What is biomechanics and how is it different from the two common meanings of kinesiology? - correct answer Biomechanics is the study of how living things move using the science of mechanics. In the first half of the twentieth century this was synonymous with kinesiology, but now kinesiology is the academic discipline of the study of human movement Biomechanical knowledge is useful for solving what kinds of problems? - correct answer ...

Developer: - correct answer Unknown (no specific author). Baldwin - correct answer First to analyze joint and muscle function during purposeful activity. Dr. Licht - correct answer added the concept of work tolerance (endurance training). biomechanics - correct answer The application of mechanics to the living human body. includes static an...

Inertia - correct answer The reluctance of a body to change its state of motion The greater the mass means - correct answer The greater it's inertia Force - correct answer A push or pull exerted on an object Momentum - correct answer The amount of motion an object has. Mass X Velocity It is a combination of both! Conservation of mome...

The ankle operates as a lever as the athlete pushed off the ground. Identify the class of lever operating at the ankle and explain the mechanical advantage of the class of lever for the athlete. - - Second class lever system. - Longer effort arm. - Hurdler provides minimal effort to generate height to clear the hurdle. It is important for sprinters to push off the blocks effectively to achieve a fast start. Using Newton's first and second laws of linear motion and knowledge of the neurom...

What are biomechanics? - correct answer - applies the mechanical principles of physics and engineering to the motion, structure and functioning of all living systems. Goals of Biomechanics - correct answer - To understand how the basic laws of physics affect and shape the structure and function of the human body - To apply this understanding to: (a) improve the outcomes of our movements (performance effectiveness) or ...

Who was the first to analyze joint and muscle function during purposeful movement? - correct answer Baldwin Who added the concept of work tolerance (endurance training) - correct answer Dr. Licht What are the applications of mechanics to the living human body? - correct answer Static: concerned with body at rest Dynamic: Concerned with body at motion What do Occupational thera...
