Chapter 10

Question 1

Mechanics

Answer 1

Branch of physics that studies the effect that forces have on bodies ad the motion produced by those forces

Question 2

Biomechanics

Answer 2

Study of mechanics being applied to living things (the human body)

Question 3

kinematics

Answer 3

Description of motion

Ex: shooting a basketball

Question 4

Kinetics

Answer 4

Motion caused by a force

Ex: the ground pushing off you to propel you up to jump

Question 5

Units of measurement (4)

Answer 5

Length
Mass
Weight
Time

Question 6

Scalar Quantities

Answer 6

Single quantities, described by magnitude only (size or amount)
Ex: Mass (10lbs, 20kg)

Question 7

Vector Quantities

Answer 7

Double quantities, describe by magnitude and direction

Ex: displacement (5m away from the starting point)

Question 8

Vector Representation

Answer 8

Represented by an arrow

Direction and the magnitude is proportional to length of the arrow made

Question 9

Vectors combined

Answer 9

Can be combined by addition, subtraction, and multiplication
- the new vector created is called the resultant

Question 10

Looking at the displacement/resultant there are always how many component vectors. What direction do the vectors go and what angle to they always create?

Answer 10

Two
Horizontal and vertical
Right angle
