Cards

Term
Kinetics
Definition
the science concerned with the effects of forces that produce arrest and modify motions of the body
Term

kinesiology

Definition
the laws of mechanics applied to biological systems
Term
laminar flow
Definition
flow where each particle of fluid passes a particular point that follows the same path as particle before it
Term
Torque
Definition
the tendency or measure of the ability of a force to rotate an object about some axis
Term
Moment arm
Definition
the perpendicular distance from the point of rotation to the line of action of a force
Term
Equilibrium
Definition
state of systems not changing speed or dirction so accleration is zero
Term
stable equa
Definition
when moved the object returns to its original position
Term
neutral equal
Definition
moving doesn't raise or lower center of mass
Term
unstable equal
Definition
when moved it relocates COM to lower point
Term
stablity
Definition
degree of difficulty in disturbing the equilibrium of a system
Term
5 factors that effect stability
Definition
line of gravity within support base, size of base, distance between line of gravity and base, height of COG, object mass
Term
Linear Kinematics
Definition
describing the motion of bodies by how far fast and consistenly we move
Term
accleration
Definition
the rate of change in velocity with repect to time
Term
First class lever
Definition
always has fulcrum in the center, used for force and displacement adv
Term
second class lever
Definition
always has fulcrum on the end with resistence between only force adv
Term
third class lever
Definition
force between resistnece and fulcrum only displacement adv
Term
pulley
Definition
changes the direction of the force or add ropes and reduce the tension
Term
center of mass
Definition
the point in the body in which all of the mass is equally distrubited in all directions
Term
Lever
Definition
a rigid bar that rotates about a fixed point called an axis fulcrum or pivot
Term
Center of Gravity
Definition
the imaginary point in a body used to define the effects of gravity
Term
archimedes principle
Definition
an object which is partially or complety submergesd in a fulid will experience a buoyant force equal and opposite to that of the weight of the volume of fluid displaced
Term
Energy
Definition
the ability to do work
Term
power
Definition
the time rate of doing work
Term
work
Definition
the product of the force exerted on the object and the distance that object traveled
Term
Critical features
Definition
are key features observations of a movement that are necessary for optimal performance
Term
Mass
Definition
the quanity of matter ina system that gives you its weight in ta gravitational field
Term
Inverse square law
Definition
attraction devreases with square of the distance between masses centers
Term
Kinesiology
Definition
laws of mechanics applied to biological systems
Term
Kinematics
Definition
science concerned with describing position and motion of object with respect to time
Term
Normal Force
Definition
any force perpendicular to plane of action
Term
projectile
Definition
a object in a two dimensional dirction being acted on by earth's gravity
Term
Fluid
Definition
anything that flows
Term
boundary layer
Definition
the layer between the surface of object of interest in the layers of fluid near the surface
Term
skin friction
Definition
fluid particles slowed due to shear stress
Term
form drag
Definition
pressure differntial between the lead and rear sides of a body moving through fluid
Term
wave drag
Definition
resistance motion as an object moves through two fluid with different viscosities
Term
External forces
Definition
can change the shaped of a system and relocate COM
Term
Internal forces
Definition
can only change shape of system
Term
Momentum
Definition
measure of difficulty encountered in briging object to rest by changing mass or velocity or both
Term
Radius of Gyration
Definition
distnace from the axis of rotation to a point where the body's mass is concentrated without altering rotation charcterisitcs
Term
Drag
Definition
a force caused by the dynamic action of a fluid that acts in the dirction of the freestream fluid flow
Term
Coefficeint of drag
Definition
unitless number that is an index of a body's ability to generate fulid resistance its size depends on the shape and orientation of a body
Term
Foil
Definition
shape capable of generation lift in the presence of a fluid flow
Term
Bernoulli principle
Definition
an expression of the inverse relationship between relative velocity and relative pressure
Term
Relative velocity
Definition
velocity of a body with respect to the veolicty of something else
Term
Center of volume
Definition
point around which a body's volume is equally distributed and at which the bouyant force acts
Term
Coefficient of lift
Definition
unitless number that is an index of a body's ability to generate lift
Term
Angle of attack
Definition
angle between the longitudinal axis of a body and the dirction of the fluid flow
Term
Lift/drag ratio
Definition
the magnitude of the lift force divdied by the magnitude of the total drag roce acting on a body at a given time
