Motion is when its distance from another stationary object is changing Using a reference point Describing distance Measurement are in ____________________.
Formula is ______________________ Constant speed: same speed Average speed: changing speeds total distance / total time
Velocity is speed and direction Examples
Graphs (x,y) Slope: y ₂ - y₁/ x₂ - x₁ Slope intercept form: y = mx + b m= slope b = y intercept x = linear line x ² = U shaped curved line (parabola)
Why do you need a reference point to know if an object is moving? What is the difference between an object’s speed and an object’s velocity? The bamboo plant grows 15 cm in 4 hours. At what average speed does the plant grow
Times (s)Baby Sarah distance (m) Baby Scott distance (m) What is each baby’s speed?
Distance = speed x time
Acceleration: increasing speed, decreasing speed, or changing direction Calculating acceleration: Acceleration= final velocity – initial velocity/ time Time is squared m/s ² An eagle accelerated from 15m/s to 22m/s in 4 seconds. What is the eagles average acceleration?
Linear means Example Nonlinear means Example
Unbalanced force: acting forces are unequal and will cause the object to move. Balanced forces: All forces are equal and the object will not change its motion or nonmotion
That an object at rest will remain at rest and an object that is moving at a constant velocity will continue moving unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Inertia: is the tendency of an object to resist change in motion. Mass: is the amount of matter in an object.
The net force on an object is equal to the product of its acceleration and its mass Force( newtons) = mass x acceleration Acceleration = force / mass
States that if one object exerts a force on another object, then the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction on the first object
Friction acts in the opposite direction of motion Two factors: Type of surface How hard the surfaces are push together (weight)
Momentum = mass x velocity
Two moving objects: transfer of speed from the last object to the first object One moving object: transfer of speed from a moving object to a stopped object which causes it to move a rate of the moving object Two connected object: share the speed
