1Lever systems
What are the three components of a lever system?
- •axis, force, resistance
- ✓fulcrum, effort, load
- •joint, muscle, tendon
- •origin, insertion, belly
2Newton's laws of motion
What does Newton's First Law of Motion state?
- ✓A body remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted on
- •Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
- •Force equals mass times acceleration
- •Objects always accelerate when a force is applied
3Planes and axes of movement
Which plane divides the body into upper and lower halves?
- •frontal (coronal) plane
- •oblique plane
- •sagittal (median) plane
- ✓transverse (horizontal) plane
4Lever systems
In a first-class lever, where is the fulcrum?
- •At the end furthest from the load
- •At the same position as the effort
- ✓Between the effort and the load
- •Between the load and the end of the lever
5Newton's laws of motion
A heavier shot-put requires more force than a lighter one for the same acceleration. Which law explains this?
- •Newton's First Law (inertia)
- ✓Newton's Second Law (F = ma)
- •Newton's Third Law (action/reaction)
- •The law of conservation of momentum
6Planes and axes of movement
In which plane does a cartwheel (side-to-side) movement occur?
- •Diagonal plane
- ✓Frontal plane
- •Sagittal plane
- •Transverse plane
