BIOMECHANICS Quizzes and answers
correctly solved 2026/2027
The study of the time and space characteristics of movement is called - correct answer Kinematics
The division of mechanics that is most applicable to the study of the human body in sport and exercise is
called - correct answer Ridgid- body mechanics
The study of systems with no change in their state of motion is called - correct answer Statics
The study of forces associated with systems in motion is called - correct answer Kinetics
The primary focus of sport and exercise biomechanics is to - correct answer Improve performance and
reduce the risk of injury
The "bio" in biomechanics stands for - correct answer Life
Sin - correct answer Opposite/ Hypotenuse
Cos - correct answer Adjacent/ Hypotenuse
Tan - correct answer Opposite/ Adjacent
Internal pulling forces are referred to as - correct answer Tensile ofrces
Which of the following does Not affect friction force? - correct answer Surface area
, Normal contact force - correct answer Is perpendicular to friction force
Which category of motion encompasses most human movement? - correct answer General
Units of acceleration are - correct answer m/s/s
Acceleration describes the time rate of change of - correct answer Velocity
If you increase the time during which a constant force is applied to an object, what effect does this have
on the impulse given to the object? - correct answer It increases the impulse
As the mass of an object increases, what happens to its inertia? - correct answer It increases
Which quantity is the same in space as on the earth? - correct answer Mass
When a sprinter uses starting blocks to enhance running performance, which of Newton's laws is best
represented by the interaction of the sprinter and the blocks? - correct answer Action- reaction
Newton's 1st Law of Motion - correct answer Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain
in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.
Newton's 2nd Law of Motion - correct answer The relationship between an object's mass m, its
acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma. Acceleration and force are vectors (as indicated by their
symbols being displayed in slant bold font); in this law the direction of the force vector is the same as
the direction of the acceleration vector.
Newton's 3rd Law of Motion - correct answer For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
