M2: Mechanical Aspects of Biosystem Flashcards
(67 cards)
It is determine base on a reference point (Earth)
Motion
Moving on a single axis
Translational
Motion along it’s own axis, and stays in one place
Rotatonal
Motion in an equilibrium position
Vibrational
Cause of Vibrational Motion
- Repetitive Force
- Restoring Force
Force present on elastic material
Elastic Force
Force used in vibrational force
Gravity Force
Motion along a straight line without intervening force
Linear Kinematics
Is the location of the particle with respect to it’s chosen reference point
Position
This defines position
Frame of Reference
Change in particle position
Displacement
Relationship of distance and displacment
- Distance is always positive and greater than 0
- Displacement is positive or negative, and less than or equal to 0
Rate at which displacement occurs
Average velocity
What is the average velocity in the position vs time graph?
Slope
Rate at which velocity changes over a period of time
Acceleration
What is the requirements for acceleration?
- Change in speed
- Change in direction
What is the graph of a position vs time in constant acceleration?
Curve
What is the graph of velocity vs time in constant acceleration?
Slant/Diagonal
What is the graph of acceleration vs time in constant acceleration?
Horizontal
What is the area under acceleration vs time graph?
Change in velocity
What is the area under velocity-time graph?
Change in position or displacement
What is the requirements for non-constant acceleration?
- Speed up
- Slow down
- Change in direction
Is it possible to have constant speed and acceleration simultaneously?
No
Is it possible to increase velocity without increasing acceleration?
Yes
