Forces and Motion All forces have a magnitude and direction

Forces and Motion Force – A push or pull on an object Net Force – The summation of all forces acting on a single object Adding and subtracting their magnitudes and directions Net Movement – The result of the net force (how the object moves) Force – A push or pull on an object Net Force – The summation of all forces acting on a single object Adding and subtracting their magnitudes and directions Net Movement – The result of the net force (how the object moves)

Forces and Motion Forces can be added and subtracted to get a Net Force Net Force > 0 - change in movement Net Force = 0 - no change in movement The key here is the CHANGE in motion Objects can be in motion with a negative net force Objects can be in motion with a net force of zero Forces can be added and subtracted to get a Net Force Net Force > 0 - change in movement Net Force = 0 - no change in movement The key here is the CHANGE in motion Objects can be in motion with a negative net force Objects can be in motion with a net force of zero

Forces and Motion Objects can be in motion with a negative net force Example: I kick a ball with 50 newtons of force straight forward. What is the net force as I kick? What is the change in direction? After I kick the ball, the force that I am inputting becomes 0. This means that only gravity and friction are acting on the ball. What is the net force now? Does the ball immediately stop? Does the ball stop eventually? Objects can be in motion with a negative net force Example: I kick a ball with 50 newtons of force straight forward.

Forces and Motion Objects can be in motion with a net force of zero What slowed down and eventually stopped the ball in the previous example? Example: Imagine we are in space. In fact, imagine we are on the surface of the space station and I decide to throw a rock with 20 newtons of force away from Earth. What is the net force acting on the rock as I throw it? After I throw it my input of force is 0, however because we are in a vacuum (no air) and away from a planet (no gravity) there is NO force acting on the rock. What is the net force now? Will the rock stop moving because the net force is zero? Objects can be in motion with a net force of zero What slowed down and eventually stopped the ball in the previous example?

Forces and Motion So what are the rules? IF …there is friction, net force of 0 is impossible because friction will always be slowing it down. Therefore, net force will be negative. IF …there is no friction, net force of 0 means it will continue moving at the same speed until something (wall, person, planet) stops it. Therefore, if it is stated that the net force is 0 you can assume there is no friction. So what are the rules?

Forces and Motion Friction – the force felt between two objects when one or both is in motion Drag – the same as friction, but in the air or liquids Swimmers Airplanes Baseballs Birds Fish Friction – the force felt between two objects when one or both is in motion Drag – the same as friction, but in the air or liquids Swimmers Airplanes Baseballs Birds Fish
9
Forces and Motion Types of Net Force Balanced Force – when two (or more) forces acting on an object are equal and cancel each other out No movement Unbalanced Force – when one force acting on an object is greater than the other Movement Types of Net Force Balanced Force – when two (or more) forces acting on an object are equal and cancel each other out No movement Unbalanced Force – when one force acting on an object is greater than the other Movement

Forces and Motion Balanced and Unbalanced

Forces and Motion Relative Motion – one objects motion compared to another What is the Relative Motion if… Two people are walking in the same direction at 2 mph? Two cars are traveling in opposite directions at 40 mph? A person is walking at 3 mph while another is driving past them at 30 mph? Am I moving right now? Yes, the earth is moving at 67,000 mph!! …but so am I so it feels like nothing Relative Motion – one objects motion compared to another What is the Relative Motion if… Two people are walking in the same direction at 2 mph?
