normal force equation
Normal Force = Vertical Force x cos (angle of the slope).
Angular motion
Rotation of all points on an object around an axis pedling
Resultant Force (net force)
There are multiple forces at work. Internal forces include any force working within the body or object under investigation. External forces are those forces working outside the body. The overall effect of combining all the external forces working on an object is called a resultant or net force direction and magnitude
Newton's Second Law
This law is represented by the familiar equation F = ma. This law illustrates the cause and effect relationship of force and motion. Force causes motion. Additionally, Newton's second law tells us that the acceleration of the object is proportional to the amount of force that caused it and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. his law is often described as "action-reaction". This states that when an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal (in magnitude) and opposite (in direction) force back on the original object. This law is particularly important when considering human locomotion.
impulse
This quantity of the average net force applied over a period of time (F*t) is known as Impulse.
Acceleration
When an object is speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction, it is accelerating. Acceleration is calculated using velocity (Equation 3 ). Acceleration can occur between components of velocity or in positive or negative directions
Equilibrium
When resultant external forces are calculated and add up to zero, the object is in equilbrium. This means the object will not accelerate
he Law of Universal Gravitation.
When the universal gravitational constant, the mass of the earth, and the radius of the earth are entered into this equation and calculated, the result is -9.8 m/s2.

Newton's first law states
an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an outside force. Likewise, an object in motion stays in motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an outside force. A force must be applied to an object in order for it to move.

Mechanical energy
can be defined as the ability to perform mechanical work. It is a scalar quantity that is, like mechanical work, measured in J. In this biomechanics context, we will discuss three forms of mechanical energy: (1) kinetic energy (KE), (2) gravitational potential energy (GE), and (3) strain potential energy (SE)

speed equation
distance/time
that a state of equilibrium (Fresultant = 0)
does not necessarily mean that there is no motion. It just means there is not change in motion. Some other examples of constant motion when the resultant force is zero include: A gliding skater or hockey puck (very small amounts of friction) Lifting a dumbell at a constant velocity (here the lifting force equals the force of gravity providing a resultant force of zero).

e= square root of Hb/Hd
Sometimes an object that is not moving has all of the momentum of another object transferred into it. In this case, m2u2 and m1v1 can be removed from Equation 3 since the velocities in those terms are zero.
e=v2-v1/u2-u1

Keep in mind that as you initially begin to lower the bar
the muscle force will be less than 445 N, however, as you near your chest, a muscle force that is greater than 445 N will be required to slow the descending bar, so that you don't hurt yourself.
inelastic collision
the objects collide and then stay together.
fricition
the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another. This friction may be large or small, but will always be in existence. The magnitude of this frictional force is determined by how large the normal force is and a coefficient of friction F=uN

To raise the bar,
you must apply an average upwards force of 445 N to the bar throughout an upwards displacement of 0.3 m (more than 445 N at the beginning of the motion and less than 445 N at the end of the motion).
strain energy
Potential strain energy is the ability to perform mechanical work, related to deformation, and can be defined using 1/2k(change in x)^2 (related to deformation)
