Nov. 29, 2018 You need: Clean paper (2) / pencil Newton’s foldable Newton’s 2nd law practice problems Warm Up: What does Newton’s 3rd law say? Draw a sketch, too. I CAN: investigate simple machines
Newton’s 3rd law • Action-reaction • For every action FORCE there is an equal and opposite reaction FORCE. • Try showing it with a sketch like this cool site’s interactive Newton’s cradle.
What is Momentum? • Momentum is a measure of how much motion object has. • It is affected by mass and velocity. The heavier an object is, the more momentum it has. • It’s easier to stop soccer ball coming towards you at 20 m/s than a car coming at 20 m/s. • It’s easier to stop car travelling at 1 km/h than a car travelling 60 km/h!
Conservation of Momentum • When objects collide, their total momentum is conserved (stays the same), unless outside forces act. • The total amount of motion coming into a collision will also come out of the collision.
Magnet Lab • On your paper – write observations!! • Play – SAFELY (away from electronics) for 2 minutes. • Be sure to share with your table partners.
Magnet Lab • On your paper – write observations!! • Play – SAFELY (away from electronics) for 2 minutes. • Be sure to share with your table partners. • BUT – this time try to find a way to make the magnet PUSH. • Write and share observations.
Build a Tab Book Foldable • Use two sheets of paper (we used green and white). • Fold both in half – hotdog style to find the middle. • Cut both down the middle. • Take the four long ½ sheets and arrange them so that you have alternating color (green/white, green/white).
Build a Tab Book Foldable • Once they are alternating colors, place each one so that it is about 2 cm above the next. (front piece highest) • Pull the top half down and towards you – to create the tab book. • Be careful, you should have 8 tabs, but the middle tabs will likely be the same (ex: white/green/white/green/green/white/green/white)
Simple Machines By John Smith 1 Simple Machines 2 Inclined Plane 3 Screw 4 Wedge 5 Wheel & Axle 6 Pulley 7 Lever 8 Simple Machine Notes Simple Machines Foldable • Line up your papers about 1-2 cm apart, so that you see “5, 6, 7, 8” along the bottom. • Fold the papers over so you see all 8 numbers in a row.
Draw & Describe: A sloped surface connecting a lower level to a higher level. Examples: A boat ramp, wheelchair ramp,propeller, ladder/stairs 2 Inclined Plane 3 Screw 4 Wedge 5 Wheel & Axle 6 Pulley 7 Lever 8 Simple Machine Notes Simple Machines Foldable • On each tab, draw and describe that type of simple machine. • Then give 2-3 examples.
What are MACHINES? • Most people think of complex, technical, or electronic gadgets with motors…, but machines can be much SIMPLER. • A machine is any device that lets you do WORK in an EASIER or BETTER way. • Basically: Simple machines make work EASIER.
How do machines do work? • Machines make work easier by changing 3 things about the FORCE you exert to do work: • AMOUNT OF FORCE you exert • DISTANCE over which you exert force • DIRECTION in which you exert force
What are SIMPLE MACHINES? • There are only 6 basic simple machines that make work easier: • Inclined Plane • Wedge • Screw • Lever • Wheel & Axle • Pulley
COMPOUND MACHINES • Compound Machines – are made of combinations of two or more simple machines. • For example, a simple can opener is a combination of 3 simple machines: • Lever • Wheel & axle • Wedge
WORK & SIMPLE MACHINES • Simple machines DON’T change the amount of WORK done! (They change the size, distance or direction of your FORCE!) WORK IN = WORK OUT* (*usually machines lose a bit of work due to FRICTION…)
Input Force Output Force INCLINED PLANE • An inclined plane is a flat, sloped surface. It connects a lower level to a higher level. • You use less force over a longer distance to raise a load to a higher level.
INCLINED PLANE: Examples • Ramps (Boat ramps, wheelchair ramps) • Propeller • Ladders/Stairs
Output Force Input Force SCREW • A screw has a “thread” or “groove” wrapped around a central cylinder. • While turning, it converts a twisting force into a forward or backward force.
SCREW: Examples & Uses • Screws can holds things together or lift materials. • Screws • Screw top lids for jars/bottles • Light bulb • Swivel stools/chairs
Input Force Output Force Output Force WEDGE • A wedge has slanting slides that meet at an edge – it splits material apart. • It changes force in one direction into a splitting force that acts at right angles to the blade.
WEDGE: Examples & Uses • Ax, Knife, etc. • Zippers • Used in all cutting machines (to split materials apart)
WHEEL & AXLE • The wheel is locked to the central axle – when one turns, so does the other one. • A short powerful force at the axle, will move the wheel’s edge a long distance. • A long motion at edge of wheel, moves the axle with great force. Output Force Input Force Input Force Output Force
WHEEL & AXLE: Examples & Uses • Screwdriver • Windmill • Cars/Bicycles • Rolling Pin • Door Knob • Fan
Output Force Input Force Output Force Input Force PULLEY • A pulley is a grooved wheel with a rope, used to raise/lower/move a load. • Pulley systems change the direction and/or decrease the input force so you can move heavier loads.
PULLEY: Examples & Uses • Cranes • Raising a flag on a pole • Window Blinds • Raising a sail on a boat • Clothesline
LEVER • A lever is a bar that pivots or rotates on a point (called a fulcrum). • Levers may change the size, distance or direction of the force.
LEVERS: Examples & Uses • First Class Levers: • Scissors, See-saws, Pliers • Second Class Levers: • Staplers, Nutcrackers, Wheelbarrows • Third Class Levers • Shovels, baseball bats, tweezers
Machines make work easier by changing 3 things about the FORCE: • The amount of force • The distance of the force • The direction of the force
Machines make work easier by changing 3 things about the FORCE: • The amount of force (eg. A ramp lets you lift a heavy object with LESS force)
Machines make work easier by changing 3 things about the FORCE: • The distance of the force (eg. A baseball bat lets you move your arms a short distance, but move the end of the bat a large distance).
Machines make work easier by changing 3 things about the FORCE: • The direction of the force (eg. The pulley on a set of window blinds lets you move the blinds UP with a DOWNWARD pull.
How do machines make work easier? In your science notebook, write the following questions: • When you add pulleys to a system what happens to the force you need to do work? • How can we change a lever to make it easier to lift a heavy weight?
What is the mechanical advantageof a machine? • A machine’s mechanical advantage is the number of times a machine increases a force exerted on it. • Mechanical = Output Force Advantage Input Force
What is the mechanical advantage of a machine? You exert 10 N of force on a can opener. The can opener exerts 30 N of force on the can. What is the mechanical advantage? Mechanical = Output Force = 30 N Advantage Input Force 10 N Mechanical Advantage = 3
What is the efficiency of a machine? • The EFFICIENCY compares: • the work you put IN to • the work the machine puts OUT. • An IDEAL machine is 100% efficient. INPUT WORK = OUTPUT WORK • In the real world, some input work is always lost due to FRICTION between the moving parts of the machine.
What is the efficiencyof a machine? EFFICIENCY = Output Work x 100% Input Work You mow the lawn with a rusty lawn mower. You do 50,000 J of work on the lawn mower but only 25,000 J go to cutting the lawn. What is the efficiency of the lawn mower?
What is the efficiency of a machine? You mow the lawn with a rusty lawn mower. You do 50,000 J of work on the lawn mower but only 25,000 J go to cutting the lawn. What is the efficiency of the lawn mower? EFFICIENCY = Output Work x 100% Input Work Efficiency = 25,000 J x 100% 50,000 J Efficiency = 50%
