Biomechanical principles and levers

?
linear motion
motion in a straight or curved line, with all body parts moving the same distance at the same speed in the same direction
1 of 18
inertia
the resistance an object has to change in its state of motion
2 of 18
newtons first law of inertia
a force is required to change the state of motion
3 of 18
newtons second law of acceleration
the size and direcion of the force determines the size and direction of the acceleration
4 of 18
newtons third law of motion
for every action there is a equal and opposite reaction
5 of 18
ground reaction force
the equal and opposite force exerted on the performer who applies muscular force n the ground
6 of 18
scalar quantity
measurements are described in terms of there size
7 of 18
centre of mass
the point of balance
8 of 18
line of gravity
this is the line extending vertically downwards from the centre of ***
9 of 18
area of support
the larger the area, the greater the stability
10 of 18
fulcrum
point of which the lever rotates
11 of 18
resistance
weight to be moved by the lever system
12 of 18
effort
force applied by the muscle of the lever system
13 of 18
1st class lever
the fulcrum lies between the effort and resistance
14 of 18
2nd class lever
the resistance is between the fulcrum and effort
15 of 18
3nd class lever
the effort is between the fulcrum and the resistance
16 of 18
force arm
the length of the line between where the fulcrum and effort
17 of 18
resistance arm
the length of the line between where the fulcrum and the resistance are labelled
