1. Forces

2. What is a Force? Force = a push or pull one body exerts on another
Can cause acceleration or deceleration
Friction & Gravity are 2 main types of force

3. Balanced Forces = opposing forces balance out
Unbalanced Forces = one force is greater than an opposing force and will cause movement
Balanced
(no movement)
movement
this direction

4. Static Friction
Static friction = force that acts on objects that are not moving
Ex: When you step forward, your shoe doesn’t slide backwards b/c of static friction

5. Sliding Friction
Sliding = force that opposes an object’s motion as it slides across a surface
Ex: Pushing a box across the floor/ground

6. Rolling Friction Rolling = force that acts against rolling objects
Ex: easier to move heavy
items w/ wheels or
a hand truck

7. Fluid Friction Fluid = force that opposes motion of an object
through a fluid
Ex: stirring brownie mix or
swinging a bat
through the air
Bolt

8. Gravity
Force exerted by every object in the universe on every other object
Gravity pulls down on the object (toward the center of the Earth) and adds more resistance.

9. Newton F = ma Force = mass x acceleration
SI unit for Force = N (Newton)
1 N = amt of force needed to accelerate a 1 kg object at a rate of 1 meter/second2
N = kg • m/s2

11. According to Newton's first law...
An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force.
An object in motion will stay in motion (with the same speed and in the same direction) unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
This law is often called "the law of inertia".
Eventually Friction & Gravity will act on an object & caused them to stop moving (except in space – no gravity, no friction)

12. What does this mean?
This means that there is a natural tendency of objects to keep on doing what they're doing. All objects resist changes in their state of motion. In the absence of an unbalanced force, an object in motion will maintain this state of motion.
                               

13. Let's study the "skater" to understand this a little better.
What is the motion in this picture?
What is the unbalanced force in this picture?
What happened to the skater in this picture?

14. This is the reason you should always wear your seatbelt.

15. According to Newton's second law...
Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass (of the object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force needed (to accelerate the object).

16. What does this mean? Everyone unconsciously knows the Second Law.
Everyone knows that heavier objects require more force to move the same distance as lighter objects.
                               

18. FORCE = MASS times ACCELERATION
The Second Law gives us an exact relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.
FORCE = MASS times ACCELERATION

19. An example of how Newton's Second Law works:
Mike's car, which weighs 1,000 kg, is out of gas. Mike is trying to push the car to a gas station, and he accelerates the car at 0.05 m/s/s. Using Newton's Second Law, you can compute how much force Mike is applying to the car.
F=ma F=1000kg • .05 m/s/s = 50 kg•m/s/s
1 kg•m/s/s = 1 Newton
50 kg•m/s/s = 50 Newtons

20. Momentum
Momentum = mass • velocity
p = mv
Ex. - Newton’s Cradle

21. Determine the momentum of a ...
a. 60-kg halfback moving eastward at 9 m/s.
p = m • v = 60 kg • 9 m/s
p = 540 kg•m/s, east
b kg car moving northward at 20 m/s.
p = m • v = 1000 kg • 20 m/s
p = kg•m/s, north
c. 40-kg freshman moving southward at 2 m/s.
p = m • v = 40 kg • 2 m/s
p = 80 kg•m/s, south

22. According to Newton's third law...
For every action there is an equal and opposite re-action.
Ex. = Your desk & You

23. What does this mean?
This means that for every force there is an equal and opposite reaction.
When an object pushes another object it gets pushed back in the opposite direction equally hard.
                               

24. How a rocket works
                
UP, UP, and AWAY!
The rocket's action is to push down on the ground with the force of its powerful engines, and the reaction is that the ground pushes the rocket upwards with an equal force.

26. Newton’s Cradle

27. Add to your notes Scalar – anything with a value (a number)
i.e. – age, cost, speed, etc.
Distance can be scalar
Vector – anything with a value & direction
i.e. – velocity, acceleration, displacement (should be)
Distance can be a vector (include direction)

28. Fg = mg
Force (with gravity applied) = mass • gravitational acceleration
Fg = weight
