a angle formed by a body segment with

respect to horizontal is

absolute angle

if all factors are held constant what would

the effect choking up on a bat have on a
resultant linear velocity of a hit ball

decrease

if angular acceleration is constant, then

angular velocity is

increasing or decreasing

the compound of angular acceleration

directed toward the cener of the curvature
defines

radial acceleration

rad/s

angular velocity

20 feet long. if the speed of the airplane
remains constant,but the cord is shortened
to 15 feet, what will be the affect of radial
acceleration of the air plane

it will increase

range of motion at a joint is

angular displacement

human body angles may be calculated

using

goniometer

object, what is most likely to be the angle
of interest regarding a back injury

absolute angle of the trunk

why is anatomical knowledge important

when using a goniometer

a location of joint center determines

placement of axis
bone location affects position of
goniometer arms
