Force and Motion

Weekly Highlander Sheet
Students will brainstorm about “force” and create a working definition for force. Students will investigate to discover and identify evidence and various types of forces.
3
Warm Up: FORCE We have all heard the word “force”- we have even used it… but can you define it? Write out your own definition of force. What would a scientific definition of force sound like? Are there any forces acting on you right now?
4
Nature of Forces Forces are a push or pull Forces can be added
Forces have direction as well as size Unbalanced forces result in a change in motion Balanced forces result in no change in motion
5
Evidence of Force For each item in the basket:
Indicate what force is present Describe the force. Identify what EVIDENCE you have that there are forces acting. What should I know now? … Unbalanced forces cause change in motion. Forces are a push or a pull.
6
Types of forces Magnetic (non-contact) Gravity (non-contact) Elastic
Spring Friction (contact) Electrostatic (non-contact) Cetripedal

Warm Up: F=ma Lets try a problem…
Solve this problem using G.U.E.S.S. method
22
F= ma word problems 1. If a ball with a mass of .30 kg is hit by a bat with a force of 50 N, what acceleration will be given to the ball? 2. What force is needed to accelerate a car with a mass of 950 kg at a rate of 5.0 m/s2?
23
F= ma story problem Your little brother wants you to push him across the ice rink. He has a mass of 20kg. Frictional forces are small, only 2 N. How much force do you need to exert to give him an acceleration of m/s2.
24
Hints for Problem-Solving
Read the problem carefully at least once Draw a picture of the system, identify the object of primary interest, and indicate forces with arrows Label each force in the picture in a way that will bring to mind what physical quantity the label stands for (e.g., T for tension) Draw a free-body diagram of the object of interest, based on the labeled picture. If additional objects are involved, draw separate free-body diagram for them Choose a convenient coordinate system for each object Apply Newton’s second law. The x- and y-components of Newton second law should be taken from the vector equation and written individually. This often results in two equations and two unknowns Solve for the desired unknown quantity, and substitute the numbers

Example Gravity pulls with equal down force as the table pushes with up force Resulting in NO NET FORCE- so the book stays put After a lecture on forces in science class, Frank was thinking about the forces acting on a box at rest on his desk. Which statement do you think best represents the forces acting on the box? (a) No forces act on the box at rest. (b) The force of gravity is the only force acting on the box. (c) Earth pulls down and the table pushes up equally on the box. (d) The downward pull of gravity is larger than the upward push of the desk.
27
Force and Motion
28
Warm Up: Choose the best answer
Frank pushes a box at rest, then pushes harder on the box until it starts to move. Frank pushes it across the desk at a constant speed. Which of the following statements best represents the forces on the box now? (a) The table can only push up on the box so any sideways force will cause it to move. (b) The downward force of gravity is still larger than the up push of the table. (c) The box will continue to move until the force of motion from Frank is used up. (d) The box moves because the table can not push to keep the box from moving. (e) The horizontal friction is exactly equal and opposite to the push from Frank.

Notation Change in position
This symbol is used to indicate the starting position of an object. “i” stands for initial. This symbol is used to indicate the end position of an object. “f” stands for final. This symbol is used to indicate change in position of an object.

52
Is displacement more like the length of a rope that is pulled tight or the length of a coiled rope?
It is more like the rope that is pulled tight because it measures the shortest distance between two points.
53
Total distance? Distance The length of the path between 2 points.
0……………………………….1 mile Total distance? 1 mile Total displacement?
54
Displacement Is the direction from the starting point and the length of a straight line from the starting point to the ending point. 0………………………………………….1 mile Total distance: 2 miles Total displacement zero
55
How are displacements combined?
Displacements are combined using vector addition. We added the 2 vectors for the car to calculate its total displacement: The car went 1 mile to the right Then back one mile For a total displacement of zero
56
SWBAT/Objective: By the end of the period each student will accurately and confidently describe a position over time graph.

Set Up the Axes~ Make x & y axes on a white board
Label (y) South, label (–y) North Begin y axis at the far left almost to end of the right side of the whiteboard. The X axis will be Time without units, and the Y axis North/South without units. S Time N
58
Jobs: Marker Person One person acts a marker person… you sit facing South with marker in hand. Your job is to move the marker north or south at the same rate as Ms. Lin moves north or south, -also to stop/pause when I do. DO NOT move the marker left or right At the start the marker is place a zero time wherever the teacher is standing on the north south line.
59
Jobs: Time Puller Another person is the “Time Puller”: This person stands at the – East side of the table (left as facing North) Place the white board at arm’s length toward the middle of the table, with just finger tips on it to get ready to pull toward them. When the graphing time starts- the Time Puller pulls board toward them. As the teacher counts down and begins to move the time puller slowly pulls the whiteboard toward them (east) at steady rate. DO NOT stop or slow down or speed up.

Warm Up: What would the graph of Ms. Lin’s motion look like?
Ms. Lin lives across the street from HHS on Hoquiam, right near the Tennis Courts. Her home is roughly 1400m away from the main entrance. She forgot her Graded Quests from last week and needs to run home to grab them before 1st period. Starting at the main school entrance on Hoquiam, she runs to the crosswalk, waits for many cars to pass, then walks across the street, walks one block, waits for a car to pass at the next block, then walks into her house. She runs the whole way back, but has to wait at the crosswalk again. What would the graph of Ms. Lin’s motion look like?

74
Warm Up: What is slope? Position: Time Velocity: Time
75
Remember last week… Let’s look at velocity. Can we graph it?
Velocity is the change in position(in a given direction) over time
76
Velocity Definition : Velocity is the displacement (in a given direction) in a unit of time. Mathematically : velocity = displacement / time ( in a direction) Rate and direction of motion: 30 m/s south; 300m/s up * If motion is in one direction, speed and the rate of velocity are the same. * In taking data from data tables and graphs, note the start position— motion does not always start from position 0. Be sure to look at the number on the y axis. *Velocity in a position :time graph is the slope of the line. Units: m/s, km/hr, km/s, mm/day, etc. ALWAYS GIVE A DIRECTION Do not use mps.

Can you find the match?

Extras Ben Tooclose is being chased through the woods by a bull moose which he was attempting to photograph. The enormous mass of the bull moose is extremely intimidating. Yet, if Ben makes a zigzag pattern through the woods, he swill be able to use the large mass of the moose to his own advantage. Explain this in terms of inertia and Newton’s first law of motion. You are traveling in space and are working outside of your spaceship making repairs. You accidentally throw your wrench. What happens to the wrench? Why is this different from what would happen on earth? You have just been to the grocery store and have several paper bags full of groceries standing in the back of your van. You have to make a sudden stop. What happens to the groceries and why?
