- What is the definition of biomechanics according to Hall?
- Biomechanics is the science involving the study of biological systems from a mechanical perspective.
- What are the sub fields of mechanics?
- Statics and Dynamics. Dynamics is further broken into kinetics and kinematics.
- What is the definition of mechanics?
- Mechanics is the physical science which deals with the state of rest or motion of bodies under the action of forces.
- What is the definition of statics?
- Concerns the equilibrium of bodies under the action of forces.
- What is the definition of kinematics? provide an example
- Kinematics is the study of the motion of bodies without respect to forces that cause the motion. Example: displacement, velocity, acceleration
- What is the definition of kinetics? provide an example
- Kinetics is the study of motion of the body with respect to the forces that cause the motion. Example: free body diagrams
- What is dynamics?
- Dynamics is the study of accelerated motion of bodies.
- What are the three forms of motion?
-
1) Translation = rectilinear = Curvilinear
2) Rotation
3) General motion - What are three ways to calculate instantaneous velocity?
-
1) Tangent
2) Simple Finite Difference
3) First Central Finite Difference - What is a major objective of qualitative biomechanical analysis?
- One objective of qualitative analysis is to be as accurate as possible within a framework of known limitiations.
- What does AVI mean in terms of the Hu-m-an program?
- An "AVI" file is a computer video file. (Audio, Video, Interleaved).
