Forces A force is a PUSH or a PULL. Described by: 1. Its strength 2. The direction in which it acts Measured in: Newtons (N) Measured by: Spring Scale Represented by: An arrow (direction)
3
Forces Acting in the Same Direction Unbalanced Motion Occurs 5N We can add two forces together to produce a larger net force. 5N + 5N = 10 N
4
Forces Acting in the Opposite Direction With Motion Unbalanced Motion Occurs 5N Forces can subtract to produce net force in the direction of the larger force. 5N + 5N 5N + 5N +5N + 5N = 5 N
5
Forces Acting in Opposite Direction Without Motion No Motion Occurs 5N Forces may cancel each other and produce no net force. 5N + 5N = 0 N
7
Friction – A Force Friction is the force two surfaces exert on each other when they rub against each other. The strength of the force of friction depends on two things: 1. How hard the surfaces push together. 2. The types of surfaces involved.
8
Four Types of Friction The friction that acts on objects that are not moving. To move a stationary object, you must overcome static friction. Static Friction
9
Four Types of Friction The friction that occurs when two solid surfaces slide over one another. Examples: Brakes on a bicycle Sliding on ice Less friction than static friction Sliding Friction
10
Four Types of Friction The friction between something that rolls and the surface it is rolling on. Examples: Roller skates Ball bearings Less friction than static or sliding friction Rolling Friction
11
Four Types of Friction The friction that occurs when a solid object moves through a fluid. (water, air, oil, etc) Examples: Surfing When objects rub against air Meteors in the atmosphere Least of all 4 types of friction Fluid Friction
13
Gravity Newton concluded that a force acts to pull objects straight down toward the center of the Earth. Gravity – a force that pulls objects together Gravity acts everywhere, not just on Earth Gravity = G where G = (9.8 m/s 2 ) (mass of object)
14
Two Factors That Affect Gravitational Pull Two factors that affect the gravitational attraction between objects Mass Distance ○ Mass, Force (more mass, more attraction) ○ Distance, Force (more distance, less attraction)
15
Law of Universal Gravitation The force of gravity acts between all objects in the universe.
16
Weight vs. Mass Weight changes if gravitational pull changes. Mass does not depend on gravitational pull; it stays the same regardless of location. Weight – a force of gravity on a person or object at the surface of a planet. Mass – the measure of the amount of matter in an object. What’s the difference?
18
Why does an object move? Why does an object stop moving? An object in motion will remain in motion or an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an outside force. Inertia – the tendency of an object to resist change in motion Newton’s First Law is sometimes called the law of inertia. Ex. Earth going around the Sun Newton’s 1 st Law
19
What happens to the acceleration of an object if I increase its mass? What happens to the acceleration if I increase the force applies to the object? The amount of acceleration is dependent upon the mass of the object and the amount of force applied to the object. Acceleration = net force/mass F = ma where F = force, m = mass, a = acceleration Increasing mass decreases acceleration Increasing force increases acceleration Newton’s 2 nd Law
21
What happens when two objects collide? For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Newton’s 3 rd Law
23
Free-body Diagram Four Forces: Gravity; Force pushing against gravity (Newton’s 3 rd Law); Friction; Applied Force What is the net force? Calculate the acceleration using that force.
