Chapter 10 Section 1 Measuring Motion Objectives Explain the relationship between motion and a frame of reference. Relate speed to distance and time. Distinguish between speed and velocity. Solve problems related to time, distance, displacement, speed, and velocity.

Observing Motion Chapter 10 Section 1 Measuring Motion Observing Motion Motion is an object’s change in position relative to a reference point. Displacement is the change in the position of an object. Distance measures the path taken. Displacement is the change of an object’s position. Displacement must always indicate direction.

Distance vs. Displacement Chapter 10 Section 1 Measuring Motion Distance vs. Displacement

Speed and Velocity Chapter 10 Section 1 Measuring Motion Speed and Velocity Speed is the distance traveled divided by the time interval during which the motion occurred. Speed describes how fast an object moves. Speed measurements involve distance and time. The SI units for speed are meters per second (m/s). When an object covers equal distances in equal amounts of time, it is moving at a constant speed.

Speed and Velocity, continued Chapter 10 Section 1 Measuring Motion Speed and Velocity, continued Speed can be studied with graphs and equations. Speed can be determined from a distance-time graph. When an object’s motion is graphed by plotting distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis, the slope of the graph is speed.

Speed and Velocity, continued Chapter 10 Section 1 Measuring Motion Speed and Velocity, continued Average speed is calculated as distance divided by time. Equation for Average Speed Instantaneous speed is the speed at a given point in time.

Chapter 10 Section 1 Measuring Motion Math Skills Velocity Metal stakes are sometimes placed in glaciers to help measure a glacier’s movement. For several days in 1936, Alaska’s Black Rapids glacier surged as swiftly as 89 meters per day down the valley. Find the glacier’s velocity in m/s. Remember to include direction. List the given and the unknown values. Given: m down the valley Unknown:

Chapter 10 Section 2 Acceleration Objectives Describe the concept of acceleration as a change in velocity. Explain why circular motion is continuous acceleration even when the speed does not change. Calculate acceleration as the rate at which velocity changes. Graph acceleration on a velocity-time graph.

Acceleration and Motion Chapter 10 Section 2 Acceleration Acceleration and Motion Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes over time. An object accelerates if its speed, direction, or both change.

Chapter 10 Section 3 Motion and Force Objectives Explain the effects of unbalanced forces on the motion of objects. Compare and contrast static and kinetic friction. Describe how friction may be either harmful or helpful. Identify ways in which friction can be reduced or increased.

Balanced and Unbalanced Forces Chapter 10 Section 3 Motion and Force Balanced and Unbalanced Forces Force is an action exerted on a body in order to change the body’s state of rest or motion. Force has magnitude and direction. The net force is the combination of all forces acting on an object. Objects subjected to balanced forces either do not move or move at constant velocity. An unbalanced force must be present to cause any change in an object’s state of motion or rest.

The Force of Friction Chapter 10 Section 3 Motion and Force The Force of Friction Friction is a force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in contact. Friction opposes the applied force.

The Force of Friction Chapter 10 Section 3 Motion and Force The Force of Friction Static friction resists the initiation of sliding motion between two surfaces that are in contact and at rest. Kinetic friction opposes the movement of two surfaces that are in contact and are sliding over each other. Static friction is greater than kinetic friction. There are many different types of kinetic friction, such as sliding friction and rolling friction. Fluid friction, such as air resistance, also opposes motion.

Friction and Motion Chapter 10 Friction can be helpful or harmful. Section 3 Motion and Force Friction and Motion Friction can be helpful or harmful. Friction is necessary to roll a vehicle or hold an object. However, friction can also cause excessive heating or wear of moving parts. Harmful friction can be reduced. Helpful friction can be increased.
