2. WHAT IS A FORCE?????

3. PUSH A force is a push…..

4. PULL … or a pull

5. PUSH

6. PULL

7. FORCES  Weight  Magnetism  Friction  Gravity  Thrust  Mass  Inertia  Speed  Acceleration  Velocity NOT FORCES

8. MAGNETISM GRAVITY WEIGHT

9. FRICTION When an object moves in one direction, sliding past another object, friction moves it in the opposite direction!

10. THRUST Thrust is a strong push that quickly moves an object

11. Forces are measured in units called Newtons (N) 100 N

12. NET FORCE is the combining of ALL forces on an object Each person is putting a force on the rope! Combined, they have a net force!

13. Forces moving in opposite directions are subtracted 20N 10N NET FORCE ON THE CAR = 10 N

14. 15 N 30 N NET FORCE ON THE TOY = 15N

15. Forces moving in the same direction are added 12 N NET FORCE ON THE CAR = 24 N

16. Newton’s 1 st Law of Motion Objects at rest remain at rest, objects in motion remain in motion with the same speed and direction, unless acted on by an unbalanced force.

17. What is a balanced force?

18. All forces acting on an object are equal and opposite in direction. Net force equals zero Causes no change in motion of the object BALANCED FORCES

19. 20 N NO MOVEMENT!!!!! NET FORCE = 0N BALANCED FORCES

20. 20N NET FORCE ON THE CAR= 0N THERE WILL BE NO MOVEMENT!

21. All forces acting on an object are NOT equal The net force will NOT be 0 N There WILL be a change in motion UNBALANCED FORCES

22. 24 N 4 N The force of the boys pushing on the car, is greater than the force of friction. The forces are unbalanced. FRICTION What is the NET FORCE? Which direction will the car move?

23. 50 N 10 N

24. Which way is this car going to move? 100 N 10 N

25. Objects at rest remain at rest until acted on by unbalanced forces. The apple is at rest GRAVITY makes it fall

26. The soccer ball remains at rest, until someone exerts thrust on it by kicking it.

27. Objects in motion remain in motion with constant speed and in the same direction, until acted on by an unbalanced force.

28. INERTIA- An object’s resistance to a change in its path of motion IN OTHER WORDS…INERTIA IS WHEN AN OBJECT DOES NOT WANT TO SPEED UP, SLOW DOWN, OR CHANGE DIRECTION!!!

29. He goes flying over the handle bars INERTIA says the boy will resist a change in motion and keep moving. When the bike hits the rock, it will stop.

30. The skateboarder is moving at a constant speed and direction. He will eventually stop because of the force of friction acting on the wheels. FRICTION

31. The car is in motion, until acted on by the wall. The wall has more force than the car, so it will be stopped

32. The pitcher throws a baseball in a certain pathway. The batter exerts a thrust on the ball with the bat, and the ball changes direction.

33. When the baseball is hit by the batter, it flies in the air. INERTIA says that it will stay moving in the same path at the same speed. GRAVITY forces the ball to change it’s path.

34. When a force (THRUST) is acted on it, the airspeed will increase, and the plane will accelerate. If a different force (DRAG) is acted on it, the airspeed will decrease, and the plane will slow down. This plane has a constant airspeed.
