Chapter N3 Forces from Motion Due Wednesday at start of class. N2B.4, B.5, B.6 B.8 and B.9 due Friday

Diagrams Drawing the diagram correctly is an essential step in solving problems. Two types of diagrams must be drawn –Free body diagram –Net force diagram

Free body diagram Show only the forces that act on a single body –Do not show motion, etc. Show all the forces that act on the body

Net force diagram Determine the direction of the object’s acceleration (or that it is zero). Transfer the forces from the free body diagram to a single figure. Adjust the magnitudes of the forces in the diagram to be consistent with the direction of acceleration of the object.

Examples Each group has 2 minutes to agree on an answer. The answers are then put on the board.

Make free body and net force diagrams of each of the following: 1)Book at rest on table 2)Car traveling at constant speed along a straight road with air friction. 3)Skier accelerating down hill with friction 4)Box at rest on back bed of accelerating pickup 5)Car going over the top of a circular hill at constant speed 6)Car going around a curve at constant speed. 7)A car pushing a disabled truck so they accelerate at a constant rate. Draw free body diagrams and net force diagrams for each vehicle..

Graphs of one dimensional motion vxvx t t axax On your paper draw what the acceleration curve looks like. Write on your paper a description of what is happening in each of these times. 13 2

Draw the graphs for a car going at constant speed down the road and brakes to a stop and remains there. vxvx t t axax

N3 Problems due Friday N3B.3, B.4, B.6, B.8, B.9 These problems will be discussed at the start of the period on Wednesday.
