Yeah human body tissue internally
Earth continually moves about 30 km/s through space, which means the wall you stand next to also is moving at 30 km/s. When you jump vertically the wall doesn't slam into you because
You and the wall are in the same system so you are moving at the same speed the wall is
Earth continually moves about 30 km/s through space, which means the wall you stand next to also is moving at 30 km/s. When you jump vertically why doesn't the wall slam into you?
You and the wall are in the same system so you are moving at the same speed the wall is even when you are in the air.
If bending your knees when you land after jumping off of an elevated position changes the time of contact by a factor of 10 compared to being stiff-legged, what does that do to the average force your body experiences?
You experience 1/10 of the force.
What must someone do to get an object to rotate
You must apply torque (external force)
Would you agree with your friend if they stated that the heavyweight champion of the world cannot exert a 50 N force on an isolated piece of tissue paper?
You would agree since the heavyweight champion of the world can only exert as much force as the tissue paper can apply back against him.
To do somersaults, what position would your body need to be in to rotate easier
Your body needs to be in a circular position. Put the mass as close to the middle as possible. Curled up in a ball
While you are standing in the aisle of a bus, the driver suddenly makes a left turn. You lurch to the right due to
Your body wants to remain in the location where it was because inertia
The skydiver steps from a helicopter and falls for a few seconds until terminal velocity is reached. Thereafter, until he opens his parachute, his acceleration *
Zero
What is a cart's acceleration if it maintains a constant velocity of 100 m/s for 10 s?
Zero
A hockey puck is set in motion across a frozen pond. If ice friction and air resistance are neglected, how many force would be required to keep the puck sliding at constant velocity?
Zero, in the absence of friction and air resistance, the puck will continue indefinitely
how does a linear force create rotation
a force applied away from axis of rotation will rotate the object about the axis
leverage
a lever amplifies an input/applied force to provide a greater output/resistance force to provide leverage
levers
a relatively rigid body that may be made to rotate about an axis by the application of a force
revolutions
a single rotation about an axis
angular motion and law of acceleration
a torque applied to a body causes an angular acceleration of that body of a magnitude proportional to the toque in the direction of the toque, inversely proportional to the body's moment of inertia
torque is
a vector quantity, direction is defined by the angular movement created, CW or CCW, measured in Nm
What is a bungee jumper's average deceleration if they attain a speed of 30 m/s just as the bungee cord begins to stretch which lasts 2 s?
a= change in velocity/time then you have to factor in gravity and divide your answer= 1.5 g
camera is in frontal plane, anteriorposterior axis
abduction, adduction, roll
If you double the net force on an object what also doubles?
acceleration
What happens to a skydiver's acceleration as their velocity of fall increases?
acceleration goes down because they are closer to terminal speed / velocity
What happens to the acceleration of an object that experiences a tripling of its net force?
acceleration triples
centric forces
act at the center of the system, result in linear motion
eccentric forces
act off center on a system, result in rotation and curvilinear motion
balance
an even distribution of weight enabling someone or something to remain upright and steady, static concept
axis of rotation is
an imaginary line, that can found inside or outside of the system
goinometer
an instrument that measures an angle
axis of rotation, fulcrum, pivot point
anchor point of system
internal angle
angle formed inside the joint
if radius of gyration decreases
angular velocity increases, bring limbs close together allows us to spin more in figure skating
total angular momentum
angular velocity of arms and legs must be larger than the trunk and head to stabilize body position in the air
degrees
arbitrary unit of measurement
tangential linear velocity and acceleration of a point on a rotating object
are proportional to radius of rotation
base of support
area bound by the outermost regions of contact between body and support surface
improvement comes from
attention to detail
body angles
axis of rotation is no fixed because the longitudinal segments shifts position because the axis migrates
fulcrum
axis of rotation, pivot point
What will happen to a ball when you quickly jerk a cart forward that has the ball resting in the middle?
ball hits the back of the cart
factors affecting stability
base of support, position of center of gravity, and mass
instant center
because axis of rotation is not fixed in human body since its difficult to locate the precise location of the instant center, we estimate joint positions when analyzing human movements
