Document Summary
3 body planes: sagittal-cut through middle, frontal-cut through front and back, transverse-cut through top and bottom. Forms of motion: translational-movement from one place to another where all points move through the same distance. Curvilinear motion: rotational-angular motion about an axis, all points through the same angle, general motion-combination of translational and rotational. Kinetics-a value that causes something to move: kinetic vector quantities: force, weight, pressure, torque. Kinematics-description of motion: kinematic vector quantities: displacement, velocity and acceleration. Definition: a push or pull acting on an object (vector) Static-sum of forces = 0, something that is not moving (an object can have a force acting on it but not necessarily have to move. Dynamic- sum of forces not equal to 0, something that is moving and therefore a force is needed. Tendency for a body to resist a change in its stage of motion. Quantity of matter contained in an object.
