Slide 5 / 159 What does it mean to be in motion?

With a partner, come up with a scientific explanation of what it means if an object is in

• motion. Don't just say an
• bject is moving!

Slide 6 / 159 What does it mean to be in motion?

An object is in motion if it changes position in relation to a certain place, called a reference point. Reference points are places or objects used to determine the motion of an

• bject.

It is extremely important to choose reference points carefully.

Slide 7 / 159 Relative Motion

Motion is relative as it is dependent upon the reference point. Are you in motion right now? Think about it... Are you in motion compared to your desk? Are you in motion compared to the sun?

Slide 8 / 159 Measuring Motion

Speed is one of the many ways we measure motion. Speed is a measure of the distance traveled per unit of time. That means you can find the speed of any object that is in motion!

Slide 9 / 159 Finding Speed

Speed = Distance ⁄ Time

and

We can rearrange the letters in the speed equation and solve for any of the other 2 pieces of information.

Slide 10 / 159 Finding Speed

Discussion time! · What are some possible units to measure speed? Remember that speed= distance/time! · How do you think speed is measured when driving in a car? · How would you measure speed of an engine? For reference, an animation of an internal combustion engine is shown below.

Slide 14 / 159

Manipulate the speed of each car, solve for time, and predict which car will win!

Slide 15 / 159 Speed

When we talk about speed, it is important to know that there is a difference between instantaneous speed and average speed. Average speed can be calculated by dividing the total distance by the total time. This is what is usually calculated by runners in a race. Instantaneous speed is the speed of an object at any moment in time (an instant of time). Can you think of an example where you would use instantaneous time?

Slide 16 / 159

It might take 3 hours to travel 300 km in a car. What would the average speed of the car be? Calculate it now. Does that mean the car was going that speed for the whole 3 hours

• f the trip?

When you go on a trip in the car, do you go the same speed the whole time? Talk to a partner about this.

Average vs Instantaneous Speed Slide 17 / 159 Average vs Instantaneous Speed

Have you ever run a mile? Do you think you ran at the exact same speed the entire mile? Think about what runners do at the very end of a race.

Slide 18 / 159 Average vs Instantaneous Speed

When you ride on the bus to school, does the bus driver travel at the same speed the entire trip? School buses and other vehicles have speedometers that measure the speed of the vehicle at a specific moment in time. Do speedometers measure average speed or instantaneous speed?

Slide 33 / 159 Graphing Motion

When there is no relationship between the variables, there will not be a pattern present. Is there any pattern in the graph below?

Slide 34 / 159 The Importance of Slope

Position versus time graphs can be used to find speed and compare speeds.When we talk about the slope of a line, we are talking about how steep a line is. Look at the skier to the right. He is on a very difficult trail. Would an easier trail be steeper or more flat? How would the slopes of these two trails compare?

Slide 35 / 159 The Importance of Slope

In a position versus time graph, the y-axis is the position and the x-axis is the time. Recall that the relationship between position and time is speed. So when we are looking at the slope, we are looking at the speed . The steeper the slope of the line on a position versus time graph, the greater the speed! The slope of the black line gives us the speed of the bicycler.

Slide 38 / 159 Acceleration

Constant speed is when an object's speed does not change; however, most objects do not travel at a constant speed. Acceleration is a way to measure changing motion. Do you walk at the exact same speed from class to class? What if you are late for class? Are you ever accelerating when you go to class? Can you define acceleration?

Slide 39 / 159

speed speed change in direction

Acceleration

Acceleration occurs when there is a change in velocity. Remember, velocity is speed with direction. So acceleration occurs any time there is an increase in speed, a decrease in speed, or a change in direction.

Slide 57 / 159 What Are Forces?

Forces are ________ or ______ in a given direction. Forces affect how objects move.

Slide 58 / 159 Forces Affect Motion

At your table, make a list of ways forces can affect objects. There are many ways. Write a few of these ways below.

Slide 59 / 159 Forces Acceleration

cause

The Big Idea...

Since forces can cause changes in the speed or direction of an

• bject, we can say that forces cause changes in velocity, so

forces cause acceleration!

Slide 60 / 159 Units of Force

Forces are measured in newtons (N). You probably measure yourself on a scale in pounds. One pound is equal to 4.448 newtons. Just like velocity, force has direction. When forces are demonstrated both magnitude and direction should be shown.

10 N

What is the magnitude of the force shown above? How about the direction?

Slide 61 / 159 Balanced Forces

If you and a friend both push with the same strength on each side of a table, will it move? Two or more opposite forces acting on an object are considered balanced if their effects cancel each other out. Balanced forces do not cause a change in an object's motion.

8 N 8 N

The box to the right is at rest and will remain at rest since the

• pposite forces acting
• n it are balanced.

Slide 62 / 159 Unbalanced Forces

If the effects of the forces don't cancel each other out (one force is stronger than others), the forces are unbalanced forces. Unbalanced forces do cause a change in motion; speed and/or direction. Think about Tug-Of-War. How does one side win?

Slide 63 / 159 Unbalanced Forces

15 N 8 N

Two ways to interpret this diagram are to say: there is a 15N force to the right and an 8N force to the left OR we can say there is a +15N force and a -8N force. What does the negative on the -8N tell us?

Slide 64 / 159 Unbalanced Forces

15 N 8 N

The box was initially at rest. Since the forces acting on the box are unbalanced, the box will start moving. Does the box accelerate? Which way do you think the box will move and why?

Slide 68 / 159 Friction

Forces are present all around us, but can not usually be seen. Friction is a force that resists motion and we experience daily. When you run, walk, sit on the couch, brush your hair, and write you experience friction. You are experiencing friction right now!

Slide 69 / 159 Friction

The force of friction is caused by microscopic particles touching each

• ther. These microscopic pieces on both surfaces cause friction.

Friction is affected by how hard the surfaces push together and the types of surfaces involved.

Click here to see the force of friction clip

There are many types of friction.

Slide 70 / 159 Static Friction

Static friction acts on objects that are not moving. Have you ever wondered why it is so hard to start moving a heavy object like a dresser or couch, but then once it starts moving it is easier? That is because you have to overcome the force of static friction! Static friction holds the couch in place and keeps it from moving.

Slide 71 / 159 Sliding Friction

Sliding friction occurs when objects slide over each other. Sliding friction is easier to overcome than static friction. That is why the couch is easier to move once it starts sliding!

Click here to see sliding friction in action.

Sliding friction is also known as kinetic friction.

Slide 72 / 159 Fluid Friction

Fluid friction occurs when objects move through a fluid. Remember, air is a fluid, so you continuously experience fluid friction!

Forces are present all around us and always act in pairs, so we usually experience more than one force. Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards each other. How does gravity act on objects here on Earth? Use the picture to the right to help you with your answer.

Slide 78 / 159 Law of Gravitation

The Law of Universal Gravitation tells us that gravity acts between all objects in the universe. This means that without exception, any two objects in the universe attract each other!

Slide 79 / 159 Factors Affecting Gravity

Gravity is affected by both mass and distance. The greater the distance between two objects, the less the gravitational force between them. The greater the mass of the object, the greater the object's gravitational force. You have learned about mass in the past. Can you define mass? Which of these examples has more gravity? Why?

Slide 92 / 159 Air Resistance

Try this: Crumple up two pieces of paper individually and drop them both from the same height at the same time. Which hits the ground first? Now drop a crumpled piece of a paper and a non-crumpled piece of paper in the same way. What's the difference? Objects are not always truly in free fall because they experience air resistance. Air resistance is a fluid friction experienced by falling objects. When objects experience air resistance, they don't fall at a rate of 9.8 m/s2.

with no air resistance?

Slide 93 / 159 Air Resistance

The flat piece of paper fell at a slower rate because it had more surface area. This greater surface area resulted in the paper experiencing air resistance. For the crumpled paper, air resistance was probably very tiny and thus could be ignored. The crumpled paper was essentially in free fall. People use parachutes when they jump out of planes. Why?

Slide 94 / 159 Net Force

As you know, many forces are acting on us and other objects. To determine the total force acting on an object, the forces are added and subtracted as appropriate to find the net force. When several forces are acting on the same object, the net force might be zero...

Slide 103 / 159 The History of the Laws of Motion

Aristotle, a Greek philosopher, and Galileo Galilei, an Italian astronomer, may have been two of the first scientists to try to explain gravity and motion.

Slide 104 / 159

In the late 1600s, Sir Isaac Newton used Galileo's ideas to create three basic laws of motion.

The History of the Laws of Motion

Sir Isaac Newton contributed to advances in physics, mathematics, and astronomy.

Slide 105 / 159 Laws of Motion

Newton may be one of the greatest scientists in

• history. The three laws of

motion he created are three of the most used natural laws in science. These laws help us to make sense of the world around us.

Slide 106 / 159

Newton was inspired by the apple falling from the tree and asked himself if gravity might also be the force holding the moon in orbit. Newton found that gravity plays a role in other orbital motions as well!

Laws of Motion Slide 107 / 159 Newton's First Law of Motion

The first law of motion tells us that an object at rest stays at rest, and an object moving at a constant velocity will continue moving at a constant velocity, unless acted on by an unbalanced force. On Earth, gravity and friction are two of the unbalanced forces that frequently change an

• bject's motion.

Slide 108 / 159

The first law of motion is sometimes referred to as the law of inertia.

Newton's First Law of Motion

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion.

Slide 109 / 159 The First Law of Motion

The first law basically tells us that motion will not change without a net force. So, if an object stops moving or starts moving, you know there is a net force. If there is a net force, then the forces are

• unbalanced. As you know, unbalanced

forces cause changes in motion! Apply Newton's First Law of Motion to the baseball player sliding into second

• base. What are some forces acting on

him?

Answer

FALSE

Slide 120 / 159 Newton's Second Law

Newton's second law states that acceleration depends on both force and mass. It supports the idea that unbalanced forces cause acceleration. Remember, acceleration is an increase in speed, a decrease in speed,

• r a change in direction.

Slide 121 / 159 Newton's Second Law

Unbalanced forces cause acceleration. There is a direct relationship between force and acceleration. Mass and acceleration are inversely proportional. Forces that cause a net force on an

• bject are

unbalanced. As force increases, acceleration increases. As mass increases, acceleration decreases.

Slide 122 / 159 Newton's Second Law

Unbalanced forces cause acceleration, so unbalanced forces cause an increase in speed, a decrease in speed, and/or a change in direction. The second law relates force, mass, and acceleration. Force = mass x acceleration

Slide 123 / 159

We can rearrange this to solve for the other variables. You do not need to know how to rearrange it, but you do have to be able to select the right formula for solving your problem.

F = ma a = F m m = F a Newton's Second Law Slide 124 / 159 Application of Newton's Second Law

The second law states that if force is increased, acceleration will also increase. If you want to shoot a very fast penalty kick into the soccer net, how do you kick it?

Slide 125 / 159 Application of Newton's Second Law

The second law also tells us that the greater the mass, the less the acceleration (if the force is constant). How hard is it to pull one person in the wagon? What happens when you add another person to the wagon? Have you ever pulled your friends in a wagon?

Slide 147 / 159 Momentum

Remember Newton's law of inertia. Objects with more mass (more inertia) have more reluctance to change their motion and vice versa. Also recall Newton's 2nd law. Objects with more mass accelerate less than objects with less mass under the same force (and vice versa). Both carts experience the same strength in force (Newton's 3rd law). But the cart on the right experiences a greater change in motion because it has less mass. Why?

Slide 148 / 159 Momentum
