Wednesday, 11/4 Unit 4: Work and Forces Pick up a warm-up sheet Take out your homework from Monday (video notes) Respond to the following on your warm-up sheet. 1. What causes an object to accelerate? 2. What is the relationship between force and acceleration? Upcoming dates Wednesday, 11/4 – forces video notes due Friday, 11/6 – quiz Monday, 11/16 – quiz Monday, 11/16 – review due at when the late bell rings Wednesday, 11/ 18 – Unit 4 test W/O 11/23 – Thanksgiving break Friday, 12/11 – 2NW extra credit due
Simulating Inertia Part 1 Pull the index card fast and record what happens to the penny. Roll the glue stick towards the meter sticks and record what happens to the glue stick.
Objects tend to stay at rest OR object tend to stay in motion at a constant speed. (Add to your video notes)
Inertia Video guide questions Give an example of an object (football player) resisting change. What caused the object (football player)to change their motion?

Marking the test Highlight the following words in the text: Push Pull Force Unbalanced force Balanced Gravity Friction Applied force When finished highlighting complete your summary.
Identifying Balanced and Unbalanced Forces – 5 minutes Work with your elbow partner to determine whether the forces will be balanced or unbalanced (the size of the vectors indicates the magnitude of the vector).
Newton’s 2 nd Law of Motion Describes how an object behaves when forces are unbalanced. Unbalanced forces results in a net force (difference in forces) When a net force is present the object will accelerate (velocity will change in a period of time)
Net Force Example 1: F g = 19.6 N F app = 19.6 N 1.What is the net force? 2.What direction is the object moving?
Net Force Example 2: F g = 19.6 N F app = 40 N 1.What is the net force? 2.What direction is the object moving?
Net Force Example 3: F g = 19.6 N F N = 19.6 N 1.What is the vertical net force? 2.What is the horizontal net force? 3.What direction is the object moving? F app = 2 N F f = 2 N
Net Force Example 3: F g = 19.6 N F N = 19.6 N 1.What is the vertical net force? 2.What is the horizontal net force? 3.What direction is the object moving? F app = 10 N F f = 2 N
Net Force Practice With your elbow partner do the following: Add force values to your practice sheet. Determine the net force acting on the object. Use a colored pencil to draw a vector (vectors) to balance any unbalanced force. Assign a numerical value to the vector’s you draw
Cool Down 1. If there is an unbalanced force acting on an object how will the object’s motion be affected? 2. If the forces are balanced on an object how will the object’s motion be affected?
