Warm Up
Complete the Before column of your Force and Motion Anticipation Guide. Circle whether you agree or disagree with the statement.

3. Tug of War
Illustrate the game we just played in your notebook and discuss the following questions with a partner.
Which direction did the winning team pull the rope?
Should we use a large arrow or a small arrow to indicate the winning team’s direction?
What size arrow should we use to indicate the losing team’s direction?
Why is it appropriate to use a large arrow to represent the winning team? What does the arrow mean?
What does a force cause to happen?
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Why or why not?
The forces in the game of tug of war were balanced.
Which direction did the winning team pull the rope? Students should be able to indicate right or left. Should we use a large arrow or a small arrow to indicate the winning team’s direction? The winning team should use a large arrow to indicate their direction.
What size arrow should we use to indicate the losing team’s direction? The losing team should use a small arrow to indicate their direction. Why is it appropriate to use a large arrow to represent the winning team? What does the arrow mean? The arrow represents the direction and amount of the force, and the winning team had more force. Therefore, a large arrow would be appropriate representation. What is a force? A force is a push or pull.
What does a force cause to happen? A force can cause motion to start, stop, change direction, speed up, slow down, and maintain a constant speed; it can also cause an object to remain motionless. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Why or why not? Answer in your science notebooks. You may wish to project the statement on the board.
The forces in the game of tug of war were balanced. Disagree. The forces were unbalanced because one team had more force and was able to win. If the forces were balanced, there would not have been a winner.

4. Forces & Motion

5. Motion A change in the position of an object
A change in motion is caused by force

6. Force
A push or pull on an object caused by the interaction of objects; either by contact or at a distance.
Measured in units called newtons (N)
Types of Force:
Gravity
Friction

7. Inertia
An object at rest will remain at rest until acted upon by an unbalanced force.
An object in motion will remain in motion until acted upon by an unbalanced force.
When all forces acting on an object are equal (balanced).

8. Balanced Forces
When all the forces acting on an object are equal. (Net force is zero.)
Balanced forces do not cause a CHANGE in motion.
In your notes, describe an example of a balanced force.

9. How Can Balanced Forces Affect Objects?
Cause an object at rest to stay at rest or an object in motion to stay in motion (inertia)
Cause an object moving at a constant speed to continue at a constant speed (inertia)
In your notes, describe an example of a balanced force affecting an object.

10. Unbalanced Forces
When all of the forces acting on an object are not equal.
The forces can be in the same direction or in opposite directions.
Unbalanced forces cause a change in motion.
In your notes, describe an example of an unbalanced force.

11. How Can Unbalanced Forces Affect Objects?
Acceleration is caused by unbalanced forces:
Starting
Stopping
Speeding up
Slowing down
Changing direction
In your notes, describe an example of an unbalanced force affecting an object.

12. Net Force The total of all forces acting on an object:
Forces in the same direction are added.
The object will move in the direction of the force.
Forces in opposite directions are subtracted.
An object will move in the direction of the greater force.

13. Calculating Net Force

A child was playing with a jack in the box. The lid pushed down on the spring with 10 N of force, while the spring pushed up on the lid with 30 N of force. What is the net force applied by the spring?

I can identify a force.
I can demonstrate forces acting on an object.
I can demonstrate how unbalanced forces change the direction of an object’s motion.
I can calculate the net force.
I can calculate force, mass, or acceleration by using the equation F = m X a

19. Mass and Gravity Mass is the amount of stuff (matter) in an object.
Mass is measured in grams or kilograms.
Gravity is a force that pulls objects toward the Earth.
It can cause an unbalanced force to make objects start moving (ex. landslide, mudslide, avalanche)

20. Mass and Gravity Example: F=ma F= 25 kg x 9.8 m/s2 F = 245 N
A person with a mass of 25 kg x 9.8 m/s2 gravitational
acceleration is equal to 245 N of weight force.
F= 25 kg x 9.8 m/s2
F = 245 N
The person exerts 245 N of force on the ground.
If the person went to the Moon, they would only weigh 1/6
of 245 N.

21. Force
Force (N) = mass (kg) x acceleration (m/s2) F ÷
m x a
F=ma

22. Force
Acceleration (m/s2) = force (N) ÷ mass (kg) F ÷
m x a
a=F/m

23. Force
Mass (kg) = force (N) ÷ acceleration (m/s2) F ÷
m x a
m=F/a

24. Practice Mass = Acceleration =
The acceleration of a sprinter is 10 m/s2. The force
exerted on the starting blocks is 650 N. What is the
mass of the sprinter?
Force =
Mass =
Acceleration =

25. Check Your Answer The acceleration of a sprinter is 10 m/s2. The force
exerted on the starting blocks is 650 N. What is the
mass of the sprinter?
Force = 650 N
Mass = 65 kg
Acceleration = 10 m/s2
Mass = force (N) ÷ acceleration (m/s2)
Mass = 650 (N) ÷ 10 (m/s2)
Mass = 65 kg

26. Practice Mass = Acceleration =
A 56 kg cart is accelerating at 15 m/s2. Calculate
the force exerted on the cart?
Force =
Mass =
Acceleration =

27. Check Your Answer A 56 kg cart is accelerating at 15 m/s2. Calculate
the force exerted on the cart?
Force = 840 N
Mass = 56 kg
Acceleration = 15 m/s2
Force (N) = mass (kg) x acceleration (m/s2)
Force = 56 (kg) x 15 (m/s2)

28. Practice A boat is pulling a 54 kg wake boarder. The force
the boat is exerting on her is 108 N. Calculate her
acceleration.
Force =
Mass =
Acceleration =

29. Check Your Answer A boat is pulling a 54 kg wake boarder. The force
the boat is exerting on her is 108 N. Calculate her
acceleration.
Force = 108 N
Mass = 54 kg
Acceleration = 2 m/s2
Acceleration = force (N) ÷ mass (kg)
Acceleration = 108 (N) ÷ 54 (kg)
Acceleration = 2 m/s2

41. PRIDE - Cyberbullying https://goo.gl/aAVoa Take out a sheet of paper.
Ball up the sheet of paper.
Step on the paper ball.
Try to straighten the paper as best as they can.
“Look at the paper.”
“No matter how hard you try to straighten the paper, it will not return to its original form.”
“The wrinkles on your paper represent all of the hurtful words that are said to you and the words that you say to others that hurt them. It doesn’t matter if it is online or in person.”
“These wrinkles are the scars that still remain on your life and the life of others.”
“Even though you apologize, the scars are still there.”
“Let’s have Integrity and Respect for others. Let’s stop bullying and take a stand against it!”
