IA - Biomechanics

What is biomechanics?

• speed

• human movement

• object and human movement

• skeletal movement

Movement in a curved pattern is known as

• linear movement

• rectilinear movement

• curvilinear movement

• combined movements

What is angular motion?

• upwards movement

• downwards movement

• static movement

• movement along and axis of rotation

General motion is a combination of two other types of movement pattern

• true

• false

A scalar quantity is

• a quantity described by it's width

• a quantity described by it's mass

• a quantity described by it's energy potential

• a quantity described by it's height

A vector quantity is described as

• a quantity described by it's width

• a quantity described by it's energy potential

• a quantity described by it's height

• a quantity described by it's weight and direction

Speed is

• the direction you are going

• the forces against you

• how fast you are travelling

• the time it takes to go from point a to b

Velocity is

• speed in a given direction

• speed over a time period

• speed compared to mass

• potential force

speed =

• distance/speed

• speed x time

• distance/time

velocity focuses on

• distance

• displacement

• movement
