1. Catalyst 45.8 km/hr Velocity – is she moving towards you??
1.Calculate the speed of an object traveling 550km in 12 hours. Use correct units!!
2.Explain the difference between speed and velocity. Use the appropriate vocabulary.
3.The police are tracking an escaped prisoner. Would it be more helpful to know her speed or her velocity? WHY?
4. Velocity of 5 m/s forward to 5 m/s to the right. Is this Acceleration, Deceleration, or Neither
45.8 km/hr
Speed is distance divided by time; Velocity is a vector and requires a direction!
Velocity – is she moving towards you??
Acceleration – changing direction!

2. Forces

3. So, what causes acceleration?
Accelerate to the Dark Side, Luke!
The Force!
No, not that force, but it is FORCE that causes acceleration.

4. A push or a pull on an object; an interaction
FORCE
A push or a pull on an object; an interaction

5. The Measurement of Force
1 Newton is the amount of force required to give a 1 kg mass an acceleration of 1 m/s2
Must have a direction!!! (yup, it is a vector)

6. Newton

7. Newton

8. What are the units on force?

9. FOUR TYPES OF FORCES

10. An attractive force between two bodies The weakest of all forces
GRAVITATIONAL FORCE
An attractive force between two bodies
The weakest of all forces

11. ELECTROMAGNETIC FORCE

17. NEWTON’S FIRST LAW

18. Newton’s First Law An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction, unless acted upon by unbalanced forces

19. Possibilities of Newton’s 1st

20. Newton’s First Law Also known as “The Law of Inertia”

21. WEARING YOUR SEATBELT IS THE LAW…
…THE LAW OF INERTIA!

22. Objects at rest tend to stay at rest, objects in motion tend to stay in motion, unless acted on by an unbalanced force

23. the tendency of an object to resist changes in motion
INERTIA
the tendency of an object to resist changes in motion

24. Generally speaking, the more mass an object has, the more inertia it has.

25. the tendency of an object to resist changes in velocity
INERTIA
the tendency of an object to resist changes in velocity

26. the tendency of an object to resist changes in acceleration
INERTIA
the tendency of an object to resist changes in acceleration

28. For Example…
No motion!
It stays at rest!

29. The toy will stay in motion until….what?
When a hand pulls one ball, it’s that unbalanced force we mentioned…
Voila! Motion!
The toy will stay in motion until….what?
It is acted on by an unbalanced force.

32. BALANCED AND UNBALANCED FORCES

33. BALANCED FORCES (no acceleration)

34. UNBALANCED FORCES (motion / velocity / acceleration)

35. Forces are either balanced, or unbalanced
When forces are equal, no acceleration occurs.

36. Forces are either balanced, or unbalanced
But when they are unbalanced, that’s when objects accelerate

37. Forces are either balanced, or unbalanced
But when they are unbalanced, that’s when objects accelerate

38. Forces are either balanced, or unbalanced
But when they are unbalanced, that’s when objects accelerate

39. Forces are either balanced, or unbalanced
But when they are unbalanced, that’s when objects accelerate

40. NET FORCE all forces acting on an object the sum of
again…it’s a VECTOR!

41. When an object is in equilibrium (acceleration = 0), Net Force= 0 (also called a Balanced FORCE!)

force, the vector sum.

47. NEWTON’S SECOND LAW

48. Newton’s Second Law The net force acting on an object causes an object to accelerate in the direction of that force

49. Law #2: The acceleration of an object depends on the object’s mass and the strength of the outside force acting on it.

50. Acceleration under Newton’s 2nd
An object will only accelerate if an unbalanced net force is acting on it!
The direction of acceleration is the direction of the net force

51. Relationships of Newton’s 2nd
If you double the net force, you double the acceleration
(if mass is held constant)
If you double the mass, you halve the acceleration
(if force is constant)

52. Newton’s Second Law Applied (here gravity = 10m/s2)

55. Air Resistance Why does the elephant fall faster than the feather?
The force of gravity on the earth is ALWAYS 9.8 m/s2.
Air Resistance is the MAIN factor! Air resistance is a type of FRICTION!
The elephant has a greater mass and therefore has less air resistance.
The feather, due to it smaller mass is more vulnerable to air resistance!
This is WHY the elephant falls faster!!

56. Law #2: The acceleration of an object depends on the object’s mass and the strength of the outside force acting on it.
If the forces acting on them are equal, who is going to accelerate more?
Fat Albert or Rudy?

62. Forces don’t cause motion, forces cause ACCELERATIONS!
Accelerations cause MOTION!

63. FRICTION

64. FRICTION the force that opposes the motion between two surfaces in contact

65. Types of Friction
Static Friction—friction between 2 things not moving past each other
Sliding Friction (Kinetic)—friction between 2 things that are moving
Rolling Friction (Kinetic)—friction between a rolling object and the object it rolls on

66. Comparing Friction For an equally massed object of the same substance:
Rolling Friction
is less than
Sliding Friction
which is less than
Static Friction

67. Friction applied to a stationary object
Static Friction
Friction applied to a stationary object

68. Friction applied to a moving object
Kinetic Friction
Friction applied to a moving object

69. Kinetic friction is always LESS than static friction.
WHY: Molecular forces form on stationary objects.

70. Friction depends on the two surfaces involved.

71. TERMINAL VELOCITY

72. TERMINAL VELOCITY
The point at which a falling object ceases to accelerate and falls at a constant rate. Gravity reaches an equilibrium!

73. NEWTON’S THIRD LAW

74. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
Newton’s Third Law
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

75. For every “action force” there is an equal in size and opposite in direction “reaction force”

76. Newton’s 3rd Law …is a great one. Very poetic. It goes like this:
For every action,
there is an equal
and opposite
reaction.

77. Let’s see an example. ACTION: Rocket Gases push DOWN on air. REACTION:
Air pushes up on rocket.

78. Try this one: REACTION: Air pushes UP on wings. ACTION:
Wings push DOWN on air.
REACTION:
Air pushes UP on wings.

79. …And another! ACTION: Feet push back on the floor. REACTION:
Floor pushes forward on feet.

80. Identify 6 pairs of action-reaction forces in the following picture

81. Action = reaction means the bowler and the ball get equal and opposite forces when the ball is launched.
But since the bowler’s mass is greater than the ball’s mass, the bowler accelerates less than the ball ma = ma
