KNS 422 Study Guide - Euclidean Vector, Mechanical System, Statics
Document Summary
Statics and dynamics; linear and angular kinematics and kinetics; applications. Kinematic introduction: math and anatomical reference systems, type of motion: Linear, angular, and general: mechanical system: definition of body segments, mechanical models of different number of segments, vector algebra. Vector addition, composition and resolution, graphical solution (tip-to-tail), Gait related kinematic measures: kinematics of projectile motion. Vf = vi + at d = vit + 1/2 at2. Cinematography/videography, accelerometer, electrogoniometer: bring following items to the test: 1) a calculator, 2) a ruler, and 3) a protractor, you need to memorize the related equations: math and mechanical, question types: multiple choice, true/false. Computational steps are required for full credit: need to understand the concepts and their applications in daily life and sports.
