The Conditions of Linear Motion
Chapter ObjectivesAt the conclusion of this chapter, the student should be able to:
| Name, define, and use the following terms properly as they apply to linear motion: force, inertia, mass, weight, momentum, and impulse. |
| | | | Explain what is meant by the terms magnitude, direction, and point of application of force, and use these terms properly as they apply to internal and external forces. |
| | | | Explain the effect of specified changes in the magnitude, direction, and point of application of force on the motion state of a body. |
| | | | Define and give examples of the terms linear forces, concurrent forces, and parallel forces. |
| | | | Determine the magnitude, direction, and point of application of muscle forces in hypothetical situations in which specific muscles are considered in isolation. |
| | | | State Newton's laws as they apply to linear motion. |
| | | | Explain the cause and effect relationship between the forces responsible for linear motion and the objects experiencing the motion. |
| | | | Name and define the basic external forces responsible for modifying motion: weight, normal reaction, friction, elasticity, buoyancy, drag, and lift. |
| | | | Draw and analyze simple two-dimensional free-body diagrams in which all applicable external forces are properly accounted for. |
| | | | Explain the work-energy relationship as it applies to a body experiencing linear motion. |
| | | | Define and use properly the terms work, power, kinetic energy, and potential energy. |
| | | | Using the concepts that govern linear motion, perform a mechanical analysis of a selected motor skill. |
