Which term refers to the study of motion including angular velocity and torque?

• A. Technique
• B. Style
• C. Mechanics
• D. Form

Answer: (C)

The study of motion including angular velocity and torque is mechanics. Mechanics is the branch of physics that explains how things move and rotate, and the forces that drive that motion. It covers how objects rotate (angular velocity) and how forces produce rotation (torque). In a CrossFit context, understanding mechanics lets you analyze how joints move during lifts, how fast those joints rotate, and the turning forces your muscles generate around a joint. The other terms describe how you perform or present a movement rather than the scientific study of motion itself: technique focuses on the method, form on posture, and style on overall manner. So mechanics is the best fit for describing motion, angular velocity, and torque.
