Motion Speed Velocity Acceleration Force Newton’s Laws
Physics Motion Speed Velocity Acceleration Force Newton’s Laws
2
Process of changing positions
3
REFERENCE POINT Relative- Compared
Reference Point- Starting point you choose to describe the location or position of an object Position- An objects distance and direction from a reference point
4
A place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion.
Stationary (does not move) objects make good reference points. Provide examples of reference points
5
Speed-Is a measure of the distance an object travels per unit of time
Calculate speed S=D/T Constant Speed- Is the rate of change of position in which the same distance is traveled each second
6
Instantaneous Speed- Is speed at a specific instant(moment) in time
Speed Continued Instantaneous Speed- Is speed at a specific instant(moment) in time Average Speed- Is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken to travel that distance Average Speed= Total Distance /Total Time
8
Distance Time Graph Shows the comparison of distance and time Distance is on y-axis Time is on x-axis
10
STATIONARY OBJECTS! A flat, horizontal line shows a stationary object!
11
2. What is the man doing between 3 and 5 seconds?
. What is the speed of the man during the first three seconds? 2. What is the man doing between 3 and 5 seconds? 3. Calculate the speed of the man between 5 and 7 seconds. 4. What is the total distance that he has moved? 5. Calculate the average speed for the whole journey
12
Velocity Speed and the direction of the moving object
Velocity is represented by an arrow pointing that direction or a direction of motion
14
Acceleration A measure of the change in velocity during a period of time To determine the acceleration rate of an object, you must calculate the change in velocity during each unit of time
15
Which Graph Represents Increasing and Decreasing
16
Force
18
Non-Contact Forces A force that one object can apply to another object without touching it
19
Strength and Distance Arrows can show direction SI unit is Newton (N)
20
Gravity Is the attraction force that exists between all objects that have mass Mass is the amount of matter in an object
21
Weight and Mass Weight- Is the gravitational force exerted on an object Weight changes depending on gravitational force Mass is the same no matter your location EX: Moon Weight: Mass:
22
Balanced Forces All forces acting on an object are equal
There is no motion
23
Unbalanced Forces All forces acting on an object are not equal
One or more force is stronger than others Motion occurs
24
Net Force The sum of all forces acting on an object A net force of 0
No motion A net force of more than 0 Motion occurs
25
Combining Forces Be Sure Arrow points Direction of NET Force.
You could have right, left, up, down use as net force direction
26
force that opposes the motion of an object
What is friction? Friction force that opposes the motion of an object the force of friction works in the opposite direction of the force of motion
27
Friction friction makes motion possible friction also makes it hard to move objects reducing friction makes it easier to move objects
28
Sliding Friction (Kinetic)
Types of Friction Sliding Friction (Kinetic) the source of friction is the contact between two surfaces, at least one of which is in motion
29
Types of Friction Air Resistance friction results from air pushing on an object as it is moving
30
Types of Friction Rolling Friction friction between two surfaces that are not in constant contact ex. wheels
31
Types of Friction Static Friction Force applied by object does not move Forces are balanced Takes greater force to move Disappears as soon as an object starts moving
32
Fluid Friction The friction between a liquid or gas as a solid moves through it
33
How can friction be reduced?
by changing sliding friction into rolling friction by using lubricants Lubricants – substances that reduce friction
34
Newton’s Laws First Law – Inertia
Second Law – Acceleration, Force & Mass Third Law – Action-Reaction
35
First Law Inertia An object at rest [not moving] remains at rest unless acted on by a force [push or pull] An object in motion remains in motion unless acted on by a force [push or pull]
36
First Law Inertia & Mass Mass is the amount of matter in an object
The more MASS an object has, the more INERTIA the object has. Bigger objects are harder to start & stop
37
Second Law Acceleration & Mass Definitions
Acceleration is a change in velocity [speed or direction] Mass is the amount of matter in an object
38
Second Law Acceleration & Force Acceleration & Mass
The more force placed on an object, the more it will accelerate [change its motion] Acceleration & Mass The more mass [or inertia] an object has, the more force it takes to accelerate the object
39
2 nd Law Formula F=MA F is the measure in Newtons M(Mass) is measured in Kg A= Acceleration is measured in m/s2
40
Third Law Action – Reaction
Forces are always produced in pairs with opposite directions & equal strengths For every force there is an equal and opposite force
41
What about the ladder on top of the truck?
The ladder is in motion because the truck is in motion. When the truck stops, the ladder stays in motion. The truck is stopped by the force of the car, but the ladder is not. What force stops the ladder? Gravity.
42
The truck is in motion, the car is at rest
The truck is in motion, the car is at rest. How do each of these vehicles accelerate? The truck stops moving. The car starts moving. Which one will be the hardest to accelerate? The truck because it has the most mass.
43
Why does the car move [accelerate] when it is hit by the truck?
The heavy and moving truck has more force than the small, at rest car. Why does the truck stop moving when it hits the car? The force of the car pushing back on the truck, plus the force of friction between the massive truck and the road slow down, the stop the truck.
44
The truck hits the car. An action force stops the truck.
What is the equal and opposite reaction force? The force that pushes the car forward.
