Learning Objectives: Explain the effects of friction on moving objects Calculate the coefficient of sliding friction Explain factors that may change the amount of friction Success Criteria Apply the definition of the coefficient of sliding friction, µ Measure the coefficient of sliding friction between the soles of athletic shoes and a variety of surfaces Calculate the effects of frictional forces on the motion of objects Do Now: Write learning objectives and success criteria (left side) WDYS/WDYT (right side) ▪ Pg. 210 Agenda: Do Now LO/SC Design Experiment
3
Choose a group member’s shoe. This person will need to wear this shoe tomorrow and Wednesday too!
4
READ ALL OF PG 211-212!!! Design an experiment using the scientific method Ask a question Hypothesis/Prediction Perform Experiment Collect Data Analyze Data Draw Conclusion Experimental Design Diagram Experimental Design Diagram
5
How does changing the surface affect the amount of Force needed to pull a shoe? By the end of the period you must have: A hypothesis (If…then…because…) Step by step procedures Data table All OK’d by Ms. Law
6
Collect DATA!!! Use your procedures from yesterday to collect data
7
µ=force of friction perpendicular force exerted by the surface on object µ=F f F N
8
Complete #4 and record all data in your notebook Be sure to answer ALL questions!
9
Complete #5 and record all data in your notebook Be sure to answer ALL questions!
10
Do Now: Draw a free-body diagram to show the relationships among the four force acting on the shoe moving at a constant speed. ▪ F pull ▪ F floor ▪ F gravity ▪ F friction Agenda: Do Now LO/SC Physics Talk Quiz Learning Objectives: Explain the effects of friction on moving objects Calculate the coefficient of sliding friction Explain factors that may change the amount of friction Success Criteria Apply the definition of the coefficient of sliding friction, µ Measure the coefficient of sliding friction between the soles of athletic shoes and a variety of surfaces Calculate the effects of frictional forces on the motion of objects
11
Newton’s 2 nd Law: motion with a constant velocity happens only when there is no net force or forces are balanced. What does Newton’s 2 nd law say?
12
What was the acceleration of the shoe when you pulled it in your experiment? What does Newton’s 2 nd law imply about the force put on the pulled shoe? The shoe was pulled with constant velocity=no acceleration All of the forces must add up to zero/balance each other out.
13
One of the forces was your pull on the shoe. How did you measure this force? What force was pulling the shoe opposite of your pull to balance out the forces? The force the shoe was pulled with was measured with a spring scale in Newtons. Friction provided the second force. Friction is a force that resists relative motion between two bodies in contact.
14
If you pulled at a constant speed, then was your pull (force) equal to the frictional force? YES! Constant speed means balanced forces, no acceleration!
15
What is net force? Two forces that are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction are net forces When you add up all the forces, you get the net force Because they are acting on the same object! Both you pulling and friction were both acting on the shoe!
16
What were the horizontal forces acting on the shoe? Force of the pull Force of Friction
17
What were the vertical forces acting on the shoe? What is another name for the force of the floor pushing up? Gravity (down) Floor (up) This is also called the normal force! F N Normal Force is perpendicular to the surface
18
Draw and label all the forces acting on the shoe
19
How do you calculate coefficient of sliding friction (µ)? µ=Force of friction Normal force µ=F f F N The force of friction is equal to the force required to slide the object on the surface with a constant speed No units Usually a decimal
