Power is defined as

The rate of doing work

The form of energy associated with the stiffness and deformability of an object is called

Strain Energy

Mechanical work is performed in all of these types of muscle activity except for; isometric, concentric, eccentic

Isometric

In the equation for calculating strain energy, the x symbolizes

The amount of deformation

Kinetic Energy is the energy

Due to motion

Strain Energy is the energy

Due to deformation

During an arm wrestling match, your opponent is winning. She is slowly pushing your arm down toward the table. If you are doing any mechanical work against your opponent, the work is

Negative

During the pitching motion, a baseball pitcher exerted an average horizontal force of 80 N against the 0.15 kg baseball while moving it through a horizontal displacement of 2 m before release. The work performed by the pitcher on the baseball

Was positive work

Strain energy is most important in which of the following sports; swimming, pole vaulting, bowling, ski jumping, field hockey

Pole Vaulting

The vertical force that always acts upward is

Buoyant Force

As relative velocity increases, the fluid forces acting on an object increase linearly, true or false?

False

The principle or law used to describe life is called

Bernoulli's Principle

Which shape is most conductive to optimizing lift

Foil

The ratio of the weight of an object to the weight of an equal volume of water is

Specific Gravity

Buoyant force is present whether the object is at rest or is moving relative to the fluid, true or false

True

A lift force can be directed upward, downward, or in any direction that is perpendicular to the fluid flow, true or false

True

If you are kicking a corner kick in soccer and want the ball to curve to the left, what is the required direction of spin of the ball

To the left

Why are there dimples on a golf ball

To create a thin, turbulent layer of fluid that reduces drag

World class cycling teams create a single file "pack" and take turns as to which cyclist is in the lead. All the other pack members fall in closely behind the lead. Why do they do this

To reduce drag

When applying rigid-body mechanics to the study of human beings, what assumption is made

The body does not deform by bending, stretching, or compressing

When a stretched material does not return to its original shape, it is called

Plastic

Deformation divided by original length

Strain

What force exerts a pull on the body acted uopon

Tension

Increasing the magnitude of force acting on a surface increases the amount of stress acting on the surface, true or false

True
