  2. Chapter 5 Section 1 Measuring Motion Observing Motion by Using a Reference Point • Motion is an object’s change in position relative to another object, or reference point. The object that appears to stay in place is called a reference point. • The direction of an object’s motion can be described with a reference direction, such as north, south, east, west, up, or down. • Common Reference PointsThe Earth’s surface is a common reference point for determining motion.

  4. Chapter 5 Section 1 Measuring Motion Speed Depends on Distance and Time • Speed is the distance traveled by an object divided by the time taken to travel that distance. • The SI unit for speed is meters per second (m/s). Kilometers per hour (km/h), feet per second (ft/s), and miles per hour (mi/h) are other units commonly used to express speed.

  5. total distance average speed = total time Chapter 5 Section 1 Measuring Motion Speed Depends on Distance and Time, continued • Determining Average Speed Average speed equals the total distance divided by the total time. • Recognizing Speed on a Graph Speed can be shown on a graph of distance versus time, as shown on the next slide.

  11. Chapter 5 Section 1 Measuring Motion Velocity: Direction Matters, continued • Changing Velocity You can think of velocity as the rate of change of an object’s position. An object’s velocity is constant only if its speed and direction don’t change. • Combining Velocities You can combine different velocities to find the resultant velocity. The next slide shows how you can combine velocities to find the resultant velocity.

  13. Chapter 5 Section 1 Measuring Motion Acceleration • The rate at which velocity changes over time is called acceleration. An object accelerates if its speed, or direction, or both change. • An increase in velocity is commonly called positiveacceleration. A decrease in velocity is commonly called negative acceleration, or deceleration.

So acceleration is expressed in meters per second per second, or (m/s)/s, which equals m/s2.

  18. Chapter 5 Section 1 Measuring Motion Acceleration, continued • Circular Motion: Continuous Acceleration An object traveling in a circular motion is always changing its direction. Therefore, its velocity is always changing, so it is accelerating. • The acceleration that occurs in circular motion is known as centripetal acceleration.

  20. Chapter 5 Section 2 What Is a Force? Bellringer Look around the room and think about the objects you see in terms of force. A force is always exerted by one object on another object. Then, answer the following questions in your science journal: Where do you see a force happening in the room right now? Which object is exerting the force, and which is receiving it?

  21. Chapter 5 Section 2 What Is a Force? Forces Acting on Objects • In science, a force is simply a push or a pull exerted on an object in order to change the motion of the object. All forces have both size and direction. • A force can change the acceleration of an object. This acceleration can be a change in the speed or direction of the object. • Scientists express force using a unit called the newton (N).

  23. Chapter 5 Section 2 What Is a Force? Forces Acting on Objects, continued • Unseen Sources and Receivers of Forces It is not always easy to tell what is exerting a force or what is receiving a force. For example, you cannot see what exerts the force that pulls magnets to refrigerators. • You cannot see that the air around you is held near Earth’s surface by a force called gravity.

  24. Chapter 5 Section 2 What Is a Force? Determining Net Force • Usually, more than one force is acting on an object. The net force is the combination all of the forces acting on an object. • Determining net force depends on the directions of the forces.

  25. Chapter 5 Section 2 What Is a Force? Determining Net Force, continued • Forces in the Same Direction Two forces are added to determine the net force if the forces act in the same direction. The net force will be in the same direction as the individual forces. • Forces in Different Directions If forces are acting in opposite directions, the net force can be found by subtracting the smaller force from the larger one.

  27. Chapter 5 Section 2 What Is a Force? Balanced and Unbalanced Forces • Balanced Forces When the forces on an object produce a net force of 0 N, the forces are balanced. • Balanced forces will not cause a change in the motion of a moving object. Balanced forces do not cause a nonmoving object to start moving.

  28. Chapter 5 Section 2 What Is a Force? Balanced and Unbalanced Forces, continued • Unbalanced Forces When the net force on an object is not 0 N, the forces on the object are unbalanced. • Unbalanced forces produce a change in motion, such as a change in speed or a change in direction. Unbalanced forces are necessary to cause a non-moving object to start moving, or to change the motion of moving objects.

  29. Chapter 5 Section 3 Friction: A Force That Opposes Motion Bellringer Suppose you and a younger sister or brother are at a neighborhood pool. Your sister or brother asks why there are signs that say “NO RUNNING.” What would be your answer? Record your response in your science journal.

  30. Chapter 5 Section 3 Friction: A Force That Opposes Motion The Source of Friction • Friction is a force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in contact. • Friction occurs because the surface of any object is rough. Even surfaces that feel smooth are covered with microscopic hills and valleys.

  32. Chapter 5 Section 3 Friction: A Force That Opposes Motion The Source of Friction, continued • When two surfaces are in contact, the microscopic hills and valleys of one surface stick to the tiny hills and valleys of the other surface. This contact causes friction.

  33. Chapter 5 Section 3 Friction: A Force That Opposes Motion The Source of Friction, continued • The Effect of Force on Friction The amount of friction depends on the force pushing the surfaces together. If this force increases, the hills and valleys of the surfaces can come into closer contact. • The close contact increases the friction between the surfaces. Objects that weigh less exert less downward force than objects that weigh more, as shown on the next slide.

  35. Chapter 5 Section 3 Friction: A Force That Opposes Motion The Source of Friction, continued • The Effect of Rougher Surfaces on Friction Rough surfaces have more microscopic hills and valleys than smooth surfaces do. • So, the rougher the surface is, the greater the friction is.

  36. Chapter 5 Section 3 Friction: A Force That Opposes Motion Types of Friction • Kinetic Friction The word kinetic means “moving.” So, kinetic friction is friction between moving surfaces. • The amount of kinetic friction between two surfaces depends in part on how the surfaces move. Surfaces can slide past each other, or a surface can roll over another surface.

  37. Chapter 5 Section 3 Friction: A Force That Opposes Motion Types of Friction, continued • Usually, the force of sliding kinetic friction is greater than the force of rolling kinetic friction. It is usually easier to move objects on wheels than to slide the objects along the floor, as shown below.

  38. Chapter 5 Section 3 Friction: A Force That Opposes Motion Types of Friction, continued • Static FrictionWhen a force is applied to an object but does not cause the object to move, static friction occurs. • The word static means “not moving.” The object does not move because the force of static friction balances the force applied. • Static friction disappears as soon as an object starts moving, and then kinetic friction immediately occurs.

  40. Chapter 5 Section 3 Friction: A Force That Opposes Motion Friction: Harmful and Helpful • Without friction, a car’s tires could not push against the ground to move the car forward, and the brakes could not stop the car. Without friction, a car is useless. • However, friction can also cause problems in a car. Friction between moving engine parts increases their temperature and causes the parts to wear down. • Friction can be both harmful and helpful, so it may be necessary to decrease or increase friction.

  41. Chapter 5 Section 3 Friction: A Force That Opposes Motion Friction: Harmful and Helpful, continued • Some Ways to Reduce Friction One way to reduce friction is to use lubricants. Lubricantsare substances that are applied to surfaces to reduce the friction between the surfaces. • Some examples of common lubricants are motor oil, wax, and grease. Lubricants are usually liquids, but they can be solids or gases.

  42. Chapter 5 Section 3 Friction: A Force That Opposes Motion Friction: Harmful and Helpful, continued • Friction can be reduced by switching from sliding kinetic friction to rolling kinetic friction. Ball bearings can be placed between wheels and axels to make it easier for wheels to turn by reducing friction. • Another way to reduce friction is to make surfaces that rub against each other smoother.

  43. Chapter 5 Section 3 Friction: A Force That Opposes Motion Friction: Harmful and Helpful, continued • Some Ways to Increase Friction Making surfaces rougher is one way to increase friction. For example, sand scattered on icy roads keeps cars from skidding. • Another way to increase friction is to increase the force pushing the surfaces together. For example, if you are sanding a piece of wood, you can sand the wood faster by pressing harder on the sandpaper.

  44. Chapter 5 Section 4 Gravity: A Force of Attraction Bellringer Significantly decreased gravity gives astronauts the sensation of being weightless and forces astronauts to make many adjustments in their activities. Write a paragraph explaining what you would like and dislike about living with reduced gravity. Write your paragraph in your science journal.

  45. Chapter 5 Section 4 Gravity: A Force of Attraction The Effects of Gravity on Matter • Gravityis a force of attraction between objects that is due to their masses. Gravity can change the motion of an object by changing its speed, direction, or both. • All matter has mass, and gravity is a result of mass. Therefore, all matter is affected by gravity and all objects experience an attraction toward all other objects. • The mass of most objects is too small to cause a force large enough to move objects toward each other.
