BME 231- Exam 2 Review Study Guide.
Dynamics - answer✔The study of moving bodies. Describes the motion of objects as a function
of the forces and moments acting on those objects.
Dynamics Limitations - answer✔1. Rigid bodies
2. Planar motion (xy)
Kinematics - answer✔Study of geometric aspects of motion alone
Linear - answer✔Forces
Angular - answer✔Moments
General Plane - answer✔Both Forces and Moments
Rectilinear Motion - answer✔movement along a straight line
curvilinear motion - answer✔motion along a curved path
Displacement - answer✔the change in position of an object
Distance Traveled - answer✔total scalar distance, regardless of direction
Average Speed - answer✔total distance divided by total time

IF acceleration is constant - answer✔The three kinematics equations apply
Curvilinear Acceleration - answer✔Direction dependent on:
1. Change in magnitude of velocity
2. Change in direction of velocity
Projectile Motion Acceleration - answer✔Vertical and Constant
Dependent Motion - answer✔For linked particles, we can establish relationships based on
geometric constraints or dependencies
Relative Motion - answer✔A situation in which, either by nature of the data or by chosen
strategy, we collect data from a moving reference frame about another point
B/A - answer✔to B from A
Kinetics - answer✔Study of motion as a result of applied forces and moments
3 Key Methods - answer✔1. Acceleration
2. Work-energy
3. Impulse/momentum
Method 1: Acceleration - answer✔Newton's 2nd Law; cannot be made from a non-inertial
reference frame
2 Types of Acceleration - answer✔1. Kinematics - force (inverse dynamics); easier
