Match the biomechanical principles to the examples. Some principles will be used more than once.

Question

​​​​​

the exertion of force using a biological lever of some kind

the movement of a biological body through space

use of this involves four parts: lever, fulcrum, input force, output force

a push or pull that causes someone to speed up or slow down

the quality of motion as a measurement of mass

Answer 1

Here are the biomechanical principles matched to their corresponding examples:

1. The exertion of force using a biological lever of some kind

   • Lever systems in the body: This principle relates to the way muscles exert force through bones (levers) at joints (fulcrums).

2. The movement of a biological body through space

   • Locomotion: This principle applies to how organisms move from one place to another, involving various biomechanical movements.

3. Use of this involves four parts: lever, fulcrum, input force, output force

   • Leverage: This principle refers to the mechanics of levers and how force is applied in biological systems to enhance movement.

4. A push or pull that causes someone to speed up or slow down

   • Force: This principle defines how push or pull interactions can result in acceleration or deceleration of an object (or body).

5. The quality of motion as a measurement of mass

   • Inertia: This principle describes how the mass of an object affects its motion, with greater mass resulting in greater inertia (resistance to changes in motion).
