Kinesiology: Basic Biomechanics UPDATED
ACTUAL Exam Questions and CORRECT
Answers
mechanics - CORRECT ANSWER - branch of physics dealing with the study of forces
and the motion produced by their actions
biomechanics - CORRECT ANSWER - taking the principles and methods of mechanics
and applying them to the structure and function of a human body
statics - CORRECT ANSWER - deals with factors associated with nonmoving or nearly
nonmoving systems
dynamics - CORRECT ANSWER - involves factors associated with moving systems and
can be divided into kinetics n kinematics
kinetics - CORRECT ANSWER - deals with forces causing movement in a system
kinematics - CORRECT ANSWER - involves the time space and mass aspects of a
moving system
osteokinematics - CORRECT ANSWER - focuses on the manner in which bones move in
space without regard to the movement of joint surfaces
arthokinematics - CORRECT ANSWER - deals with the manner in which adjoining joint
surfaces move in relation to each other
force - CORRECT ANSWER - is a push or pull action that can be represented as a vector
, vector - CORRECT ANSWER - is a quantity having both magnitude and direction
velocity - CORRECT ANSWER - is a vector that describes speed and is measured in units
such as feet per second or miles per hour
scalar - CORRECT ANSWER - quantity describes only magnitude
mass - CORRECT ANSWER - refers to the amount of matter that a body contains
inertia - CORRECT ANSWER - is the property of matter that causes it to resist any change
of its motion in either speed or direction
torque - CORRECT ANSWER - is the tendency of force to produce rotation around an
axis
friction - CORRECT ANSWER - is a force developed by two surfaces which tends to
prevent motion of one surface across another
law of inertia - CORRECT ANSWER - is the tendency of an object to stay at rest or in
motion
acceleration - CORRECT ANSWER - is any change in the velocity of an object
law of acceleration - CORRECT ANSWER - newton's second law; the amount of
acceleration depends on the strength of the force applied to an object, can also deal with the
change of direction.
law of action-reaction - CORRECT ANSWER - states for ever action there is an equal and
opposite reaction
