Biomechanics Key Concepts Flashcards
1
Q
Force
A
A push or pull that tends to alter the state of motion of the body
F=ma
2
Q
Momentum
A
The amount of motion possessed by a moving body
Momentum= mass x velocity
3
Q
Acceleration
A
The rate of change in velocity
A=F/M
A=V(final)-v(initial)/t
4
Q
Weight
A
Gravitational force that the earth exerts on the mass of a body
W=m x a due to gravity
W=mg
5
Q
Velocity
A
Rate of change in displacement of the shortest route from A to B
V= displacement/t
