Causes of Motion Linear Translation F = m*a What happens when you move the point of force application?
Causes of Motion MOMENT (N*m): cause of angular rotation Force (N) applied a perpendicular distance (m) from the axis of rotation. M = F * d F M d
Moment Armd (m) Perpendicular distance from the point of force application to the axis of rotation d d d

Axis of Rotation: Center of Mass Center of Mass (CM, CoG, TBCM) • The balance point of an object Object of uniform density; CM is located at the Geometric Center
Axis of Rotation: Center of Mass Center of Mass (CM, CoG, TBCM) • The balance point of an object Object of non-uniform density; CM is dependent upon mass distribution & segment orientation / shape.
Axis of Rotation: TBCM CM location is dependent upon mass distribution & segment orientation Moments are taken about the total body center of mass. CM CM CM CM

Angular Impulse taken about an object’s CM = the object’s change in angular momentum Angular Momentum - the quantity of angular motion Mcm = Icm Mcm = Icm / t Mcm t = Icm where Icm = moment of inertia, resistance to rotation about the CM Note: The total angular momentum about the TBCM remains constant. An athlete can control their rate of rotation (angular velocity) by adjusting the radius of gyration, distribution (distance) of segments relative to TBCM.

Take-home Messages • M (Nm) = F (N) * d (m) • Right-hand Rule: used to determine moment direction • Static Equilibrium: M = 0 • Center of Mass (CM, TBCM) • balance point of an object • Position dependent upon mass distribution & segment orientation • At the total-body level, moment created by the GRF’s taken about TBCM. Where moment arm length = perpendicular distance from CP location to TBCM location (dx & dy) • Moments are generated to satisfy the mechanical demands of a given task (total body, joint level, etc)
