Q

What is General kinematics

A

A combination of angular and linear motion. Combines angular + linear displacement, angular + linear velocity, angular + linear acceleration

2
Q

general kinematics demonstrates…

A

the importance of frame of referent to segmental velocity

3
Q

Angular kinematics taught us how to solve for…

A

The velocity of a segment about a particular joint

4
Q

Angular kinematics taught us how to solve for the velocity of a segment about a particular joint, but if the joint is moving…

A

The velocity of the joint will change the velocity of the segment (relative to a reference point)

5
Q

The velocity of a segment relative to the ground is…

A

The vector sum of the segments velocity relative to the joint, and the velocity of that joint relative to the ground

6
Q

What is the equation of how to get the velocity of a segment relative to the ground?

A

Va/g = Va/b + Vb/g

7
Q

Va/b is given as a ____ velocity and you need to convert it to a ____ velocity

A

angular

Linear
