motion cannot occur without
force
muscular system is source of
force in humans
two types of motion
linear motion
angular motion
linear motion
motion along a line
-rectilinear motion
-curvilinear motion
rectilinear motion
motion along a straight line
curvilinear motion
motion along a curved line
linear displacement
distance that a system moves in a straight line
angular motion (rotary motion)
rotation around an axis
angular displacement
change in location of a rotating body
linear and angular are related
angular motion of the joints produces the linear motion of walking
displacement vs. distance
actual distance from original point vs. sum length of measurement traveled
Law 1 of motion
law of inertia
body in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by force. body at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by force.
uniform motion = constant velocity
forces impressed = external forces
inertia
resistance to action or change
resistance to acceleration or deceleration
the greater the mass of an object the greater the
inertia
more force needed to move it
Law 2 of motion
law of acceleration
if a net external force is applied to an object then object will accelerate in direction of net external force
and acceleration will be proportional to net external force and inversely proportional to its mass
acceleration
rate of change in velocity
mass
the amount of matter in the body
1 newton is the
amount of force it takes to accelerate a 1kg object 1m/squared
F=ma
net external force= mass * acceleration
law 3 of motion
law of reaction
to every action there is always opposed an equal reaction; or, the mutual action of two bodies upon each other are always equal and directed to contrary parts
action and reaction = force
friction
force that results from the resistance between surfacs of two objects from moving upon one another

increased or decreased friction may be desired
to run we need friction. to glide we need less friction
static friction or kinetic friction
static= amount of friction between to objects at rest
kinetic= friction occurring between two objects that are sliding upon one another
static friction
always greater than kinetic friction
max static friction depends on
normal reaction force and
coefficient of friction (nature of surfaces)
coefficient of friction
indicates relative ease of sliding between two surfaces in contact (not describing a single surface)
factors of coefficient of friction
roughness/ hardness of surfaces
type of molecular interaction of surfaces
normal reaction force =
force perpendicular to surface
kinetic friction
friction force generated between two surfaces in contat during motion
friction does not
depend on surface are (contact are)
usually wider objects just have greater weight
balance
ability to control equilibrium, either static or dynamic
equilibrium -
state of zero acceleration where there is no change in the speed or direction of the body static or dynamic
static equilibrium
body is at rest or completely motionless
dynamic equilibrium
all applied and inertial forces actin gon the moving body are in balance, resulting in movement with unchanging speed or direction
to control equilibrium and achieve balance ....needs to be maximized
stability
stability is the
resistance to a change in the body's acceleration and disturbance of the body's equilibrium.
stability is enhanced by
determining body's center of gravity and appropriately changing it
center of gravity
point at which all of body's mass and weight are qually balanced or equally distributed in all directions
balance
imiportant in resting and moving bodies
maximizing stability and ultimately achieving balance
eight things
1. Center of gravity falls on base of support
2. large base larger stability
3. greater weight = more balance
4. lower height of center of gravity = more balance
5. location of center of gravity in relation to the base of support
6. equilibrium may be enhanced by increaseing the friction between the body and the surfaces it contacts
7. rotation about an axis aids balance
8. kinesthetic physiological functions contribute to balance
significant mechanical loads are generated and absorbed by
the tissues of the body
....forces may cause these loads
internal or external
internal forces (mechanical loading)
active force = muscle
passive force = inert tissue
external forces (mechanical loading)
produced from outside the body and originate from gravity, inertia, or direct contact
better to absorb force
over larger aspects of our body
spreads absorption rate over a greater period of time
tension =
compression=
shear=
bending=
torsion=
combined torsion and compression
tension- pulling longitudinally
compression- pressing longitudinally
shear- rub against (force directed parallel to a surface)
bending- bending
torsion- twisting in different directions
combined - ...yeah
