Motion
2
Event that involves a change in the position or location of something.
Definition Event that involves a change in the position or location of something.
3
Motion is Relative Relative – it is described compared to a REFERENCE POINT
4
Scalar Quantities Show magnitude [amount] only
Speed, time, temperature
5
Vector Quantities Show magnitude and direction
Velocity, acceleration, force May be graphically represented Arrows
6
Speed Average Speed Comparison of time and distance
A scalar quantity [magnitude only] Distance traveled per unit time S = d / t T = d / s D = s x t
7
Speed Instantaneous Speed
Speed at any instant
8
Speed Constant Speed Speed that does not change
Instantaneous speed that does not change
9
Velocity Speed AND direction A vector quantity [magnitude & direction]
10
Acceleration A change in velocity Speeding up Slowing down
Positive acceleration Slowing down Negative acceleration Deceleration Changing direction
11
Forces – Chapter 12 Pushes or pulls
May cause acceleration [changes in motion] Measured in Newton (N) F=ma
12
Balanced Forces All forces acting on an object are equal
There is no motion
13
Unbalanced Forces All forces acting on an object are not equal
One or more force is stronger than others Motion occurs
14
Balanced or Unbalanced Forces?
15
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
16
Friction Force that slows down motion
Air resistance creates friction in most situations
17
Air Resistance Opposes the motion of objects that move through the air. Force of air resistance Force of air gravity
18
Gravity Force that attracts all objects toward each other
More mass = more gravity Acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s/s All objects accelerate at the same rate gravity video elevator video
19
Gravity What is Gravity?
It is an attractive force between two objects that depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them. Force of Earth’s Gravity F = m*g Force of gravity(N) = mass(kg) * acceleration of gravity(m/s2)
20
Newton's Laws Describe motion and changes in motion
21
First Law of Motion Law of inertia
Objects at rest [not moving] will not begin to move until a force acts on them Objects in motion will not stop moving until a force acts on them Objects with more mass have more inertia Bigger objects are harder to start and stop Eureka Inertia
22
Second Law of Motion Law of acceleration
A force is needed to change motion Objects accelerate in the direction of the force The more force applied, then more acceleration The more mass an object has, the more force is needed to accelerate the object Eureka Mass
23
Newton’s Second Law of Motion
States that the acceleration of an object is in the same direction as the net force on the object. Net Force Equation F = m x a Force (Newton) = mass (Kg) x acceleration (m/s2)
24
Third Law of Motion Law of action-reaction Forces occur in pairs
The forces are equal and opposite One force is an action force The other force is a reaction force The forces act on different objects
25
bill nye momentum
26
Momentum Every moving object has momentum. It is the amount of force required to change its motion. momentum (kg m/s) = mass (kg) × velocity (m/s) p = m × v If a car has a mass of of 1100kg and is traveling at 25m/s what is its momentum?
