CSET Physical Education Subtest 1
study guide well defined.
Stability - n
ANS ✔
A person is more or less stable depending on the area of their supporting base


Qs
Acceleration - n
ANS ✔
The rate of change in velocity over a certain period of time


Qs
Torque - n
ANS ✔
The force that causes something to rotate


Qs
Force - n
ANS ✔
The push or pull exerted on an object


Qs
Mass - n
ANS ✔
The quantity of matter in an object


Qs
Center of Gravity (COG) - n

,ANS ✔
AKA Center of Mass
More Stability= lower center of gravity


For Max stability= COG is perpendicular to the ground and the center of the base


Movement requires you to change your center of gravity


Qs
Friction - n
ANS ✔
The force created by an object's contact with the ground.


Depends on
1) Weight of the Object
2) Surface of the ground


Qs
Tonic Neck Response - n
ANS ✔
Movement in relation to the neck and limbs


Qs
Centripetal Force - n
ANS ✔
The force exerted on an object moving in a circle


Qs
Inertia - n
ANS ✔

, Any object's resistance to a change in velocity


Qs
Weight - n
ANS ✔
Mass x Gravitational Constant


Will vary depending on the gravitational force


Qs
Momentum - n
ANS ✔
The tendency of an object in motion to stay moving
Mo= velocity x mass


Objects with the same speed will have different momentum if the masses are
different


Qs
velocity - n
ANS ✔
The measure of speed and direction of an object


Velocity= distance/time or Final Distance- Initial Distance/Time


Qs
After- Contraction Phenomenon - n
ANS ✔
The increase in the force of movement that seems to happen when the
neuromuscular systems become excited
