4. Speed, Velocity, Acceleration
“Find Someone Who” can tell you what speed, velocity, and acceleration are.
You must locate three different peers to tell you what they think these terms mean and record the answers in the “What we think” row of the document.
You are expected to answer as well as ask.
It’s OK to be wrong but your must have and answer
The student who answers needs to sign his/her name next to their answer.
2 minute time limit per word

5. Speed, Velocity, Acceleration
Now list an “A” for agree or a “D” for disagree next to the definitions
Turn to your shoulder partner and explain why they agree or disagree with the definitions.
You have 2 ½ minutes GO

6. Speed, Velocity, Acceleration
Update your handouts by recording the scientific definitions of speed, velocity, and acceleration in the “What We Know” row of their handouts.
The PowerPoint will instruct you to record examples as they complete their notes on the handout.

7. Speed The distance an object travels in a certain amount of time.
Average speed – Total distance divided by total time
Constant speed - Speed that does not change
On your paper, describe an example of an object at a constant speed.

8. What is the formula for calculating speed?
Speed equals distance divided by time.

9. Let’s Practice Calculating Speed
On the side of your paper, calculate this problem. Make sure you show all work!
A football field is about 100 meters long. If it takes a person 20 seconds to run its length, how fast was the football player running?

10. Remember to label the UNITS!!
Check Your Work
A football field is about 100 meters long. If it takes a person 20 seconds to run its length, how fast was the football player running?
Speed = Distance ÷ Time
Speed = 100 m ÷ 20 s
Speed = 5m/s
Remember to label the UNITS!!

11. Velocity An object’s speed and direction at a given time
The wind is blowing 65 km/hr from the North.
On your paper, describe an example of velocity.

12. Acceleration
A change in the direction or speed (velocity) of an object over time – which may be:
A change in speed
Starting
Stopping
Speeding up (positive acceleration)
Slowing down (negative acceleration)
A change in direction
Acceleration is caused by unbalanced forces.
On your paper, describe an example of an object accelerating.

13. Speed, Velocity, Acceleration
How does your “What We Think” section compare to your “What We Know” section?
Does anyone notice any differences in the meaning of the three terms? Explain.
Speed is distance/time, velocity is speed with a direction, and acceleration is a change in speed and/or direction.

14. Speed, Velocity, Acceleration
The terms we have noted are extremely important in our upcoming unit of study. Be prepared to refer back to them often.
Highlight, circle, or underline the key points

17. Calculating and Graphing Speed
Title the next blank page Calculating and Graphing Speed
You are going to draw 5 easy graph and interpret the speed

18. Interpret the Graph Below:
The graph shows an object which is not moving (at rest).
The distance stays the same as time goes by because it is not moving.

19. Interpret the Graph Below:
The graph shows that the objects distance increases as time passes. The object is moving and so it has velocity.
The straight line shows it is a constant (not changing).

20. Interpret the Graph Below:
Just like the previous graph, this graph shows an object moving with constant velocity.

21. Interpret the Graph Below:
The curve, in the graph, shows that the object’s velocity is changing as time passes.
This is acceleration.

22. Interpret the Graph Below:
In the first part of the graph, the object is moving with constant velocity.
In the second part of the graph, the object is at rest (not moving).
In the third part, the object is again moving with constant velocity.

With your should partner look at the handout.
Describe the motion of the object.
Such as: left, right, up, down
Then explain to your partner why your think the object will move in a certain direction.
Use words like: balanced, unbalanced, force, motion and acceleration

34. Notes Volunteer to share
Now you are going to start filling out the rest of the paper from ebackpack
Copy what is in yellow and include a quick picture

35. Motion A change in the position of an object
Caused by force (a push or pull)

36. Force A push or pull on an object Measured in units called newtons (N)
Measured with a spring scale
Forces act in pairs
Types of Force: (pick two)
gravity
electric
magnetic
friction
centripetal

37. 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.
Balanced forces can change the physical properties of an object without changing its motion.
In your notes, describe an example of a balanced force.

38. How Can Balanced Forces Affect Objects?
Cause the shape of an object to change without changing its motion
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
In your notes, describe an example of a balanced force affecting an object.

39. 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)

40. Unbalanced Forces
When all 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.

41. How Can Unbalanced Forces Affect Objects?
Acceleration is caused by unbalanced forces:
slow down
speed up
stop
start
change direction
change shape
In your notes, describe an example of an unbalanced force affecting an object.

42. 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.
Balanced forces do not cause a change in motion.

49. Force Arrows Open the Data Sheet in ebackpack
You are completing the first half of the first page
You have 5 minutes to rotate around the room and find three DIFFERENT partners. You will combine arrows. You decide which direction you want them to turn. Fill in the chart

50. Mass and Weight Mass is the amount of stuff (matter) in an object.
The mass of an object will remain the same anywhere in the universe.
Mass is measured in grams or kilograms.

51. Mass and Weight
Weight is the mass (kg) of an object multiplied by the acceleration of gravity (9.8 m/s2).
The weight of an object depends on the gravitational pull of the location in the universe.
The gravitational pull on the Moon is only 1/6 of Earth’s gravitational pull.
Weight is measured in newtons (N).

52. Mass and Weight
Example: F=ma 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.

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

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

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

56. Practice
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 =

57. 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 ÷ acceleration Mass = 650 ÷ 10 Mass = 65

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

59. 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 x 15
Force = 840

60. Practice
A boat is pulling a 54 kg wake boarder. She accelerates at 2 m/s2. Calculate the force that is causing the acceleration.
Force =
Mass =
Acceleration =

61. 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 ÷ mass
Acceleration = 108 ÷ 54
Acceleration = 2
