Answer

Shear - correct answer ✅✅ causes a gliding motion in which joint surfaces move parallel to one another Bending - correct answer ✅✅ when a force is not applied at the central axis of an elongated object, such as a long bone, and the object bends Torsional - correct answer ✅✅ two opposing forces creating twisting within an object Velocity - correct answer ✅✅ the rate of change of position (magnitude) and the direction of that change, measured by change of distance within a given time, such as feet (distance traveled) per second (time) Acceleration - correct answer ✅✅ the rate of change of velocity (magnitude) and direction of that change, measured by change in velocity (distance traveled per unit of time) per second (time) Torque (Moment of Force) - correct answer ✅✅ the tendency of a force to produce rotation about an axis

Kinesiology & Anatomy, 7th Edition,

Lynn S. Lippert Exam Question and

Answer

Moment Arm (MA) - correct answer ✅✅ the perpendicular distance between the line of application of force and the axis of rotation Force Arm (FA) - correct answer ✅✅ the linear distance from the application of force to the axis of rotation Angle of Application of Force - correct answer ✅✅ the angle at which force is applied Laws of Motion - correct answer ✅✅ Isaac Newton's three laws that define the characteristics of motion Law of Inertia - correct answer ✅✅ First Law of Motion states that an object either stays at rest or remains in motion in a constant state, unless acted upon by an external force

Kinesiology & Anatomy, 7th Edition,

Lynn S. Lippert Exam Question and

Answer

Law of Acceleration - correct answer ✅✅ Second Law of Motion defines the relationship between force (F), mass (m), and acceleration (a); the relationship is defined by the formula F=ma (Force = mass x acceleration) Law of Action-Reaction - correct answer ✅✅ Third Law of Motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction Center of Mass (COM) - correct answer ✅✅ the point at which the sum of the mass of all body segments is located Center of Gravity (COG) - correct answer ✅✅ the point at which gravity acts on the COM

Kinesiology & Anatomy, 7th Edition,

Lynn S. Lippert Exam Question and

Answer

Base of Support (BOS) - correct answer ✅✅ the area encompassed by a body's contact with a supporting surface Line of Gravity (LOG) - correct answer ✅✅ an imaginary vertical line passing through the COG toward the center of the earth Linear Motion (Translatory Motion) - correct answer ✅✅ when all parts of an object move the same distance, in the same direction, and at the same time Curvilinear Motion - correct answer ✅✅ movement that occurs in a curved path that is not circular Angular Motion (Rotary Motion) - correct answer ✅✅ movement of an object around a fixed point (axis) Simple Machine - correct answer ✅✅ a tool that permits a change in magnitude of effort (force) or direction of force required to lift a load, or both
