A-Level Biomechanics

Biomechanics key terms
What N is a force generated when absorbing body motion?. What P is an impulse that moves the body?. What A is the rate of movement in rotation?. What A is the rate of change of velocity during angular movement?. What A is the amount of motion that a body has during rotation; angular velocity x moment of inertia. What M is the resistance of a body to a change of state when rotating?. What A is a word used to describe the motion of a mass when it is rotating or spinning?. What M is the turning effect produced by a force, also known as torque?. What M is the perpendicular distance from point of application of a force to the axis of rotation?. What R is the mass and the lever system from the mass to the fulcrum?. What E is the part of the lever system from where the effort is applied to the fulcrum?. What P is means 'at right angles to'?. What A is the angle at which an object is released, measured from the horizontal?. What P is the flight path of a projectile in the absence of air resistance?. What C is a principle concerning the angular momentum of an object?. What N is force = mass x acceleration?. What N is the Law of Inertia. A force is needed to change a body’s state of motion?. What N is the Law of Action/Reaction. To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction?. What I is the effect of a force acting over a period of time?. What G is the equal and opposite force given to a performer who exerts a force into the ground?.
