Clinical Kinesiology and Anatomy Test Bank 7th
Edition exam with question and answer 100%
verified
Biomechanics - the application of principles and methods of mechanics to the structure
(anatomy) and function (kinesiology) of the human body to produce stability and movement
Mechanics - the branch of physics dealing with the study of forces and the effect of
application of forces on stability and motion of a body
Statics - involves factors associated with non-moving systems
Dynamics - involves two factors associated with moving systems: kinetics and kinematics
Kinetics - forces producing stabilization or movement in a system
Kinematics - motion created by forces and incorporates the factors of time, space, and mass
of a moving system
Scalar - describes magnitude only
common measures are: speed (miles per hour), length (5 feet), area (3 square feet), volume (1
cubic foot), mass (kilogram)
Mass - the amount, or aggregate, of matter in an object (such as a human body)
, Vector - magnitude and direction
common measures are: force, velocity, acceleration
Force - the amount and direction of push or pull applied to objects or body segments
Gravity - the mutual attraction between the earth and an object
Gravitational Force - the force exerted on an object or person as the result of gravity
Weight - a result of a gravitational force and the mass of an object and always pushes
directly downward
Ground Reaction - the upward force a supporting surface exerts on an object (person) when
a person pushes down on the supporting surface
Friction - a force between two surfaces that increases resistance to motion of one surface
across another
Linear Forces - when two or more forces act along the same line
Parallel Forces - occur in the same plane and in the same or opposite direction
Force Couple - a specific configuration or parallel forces, occurring when two or more forces
act in different directions, producing either clockwise or counterclockwise rotation
