Chapter 2 Forces and motion
Think about it…. • If Wile E. Coyote and a boulder fall off a cliff at the same time, which do you think will hit the ground first? Would it matter if the cliff were very high or particularly low? How could Mr. Coyote slow down his fall?
LEFT Section : Gravity and Motion • Gravity and Falling Objects - Activity • Gravity and Acceleration • Demo 1: Which will hit the ground first, second, third, a basketball, baseball, ping pong ball? • Prediction: • Observation:
RIGHT - NOTES Acceleration Due To Gravity Acceleration = the rate of velocity changing over time. A falling object accelerates at a constant rate. The object falls farther and faster each second than it did the second before
RIGHT - NOTES Velocity of Falling Objects Table of Formulas • Equation: • V = g x t • Example Problems: • EX 1: A penny at rest is dropped from the top of a tall stairwell. What is the penny’s velocity after it has fallen for 2 s? • EX 2: The same penny hits the ground in 4.5s. What is the penny’s velocity as it hits the ground?
Velocity of Falling Objects • EX 3: A marble at rest is dropped from a tall building. The marble hits the ground with a velocity of 98 m/s. How long was the marble in the air? • EX 4: An acorn at rest falls from an oak tree. The acorn hits the ground with a velocity of 14.6 m/s. How long did it take the acorn to land?
Demo Air Resistance and Falling Objects • Demo1: Which falls faster? • Crumpled paper or flat sheet of paper? • Why did this happen?
Activity - LEFT Falling Water • Trial 1 Observation: • Trial 2 Observation: • What differences did you observe in the behavior of water during the two trials? • In trial 2, how fast did the cup fall compared with how fast the water fell?
Activity - LEFT Spider Map Forces and Motion
RIGHT - NOTES Air Resistance and Falling Objects • Air Resistance - force that opposes the motion of objects through air
RIGHT - NOTES Acceleration Stops at Terminal Velocity • As the speed of a falling object , air resistance . • Air resistance until it = gravity. • Terminal velocity – the constant velocity of a falling object when the air resistance = gravity An Introduction to Skydiving
RIGHT - NOTES Free Fall Occurs When There Is No Air Resistance • Free fall – the motion of a body when only the force of gravity acts it • Two places that have no air resistance and free fall: • Vacuum • Space
RIGHT - NOTES Orbiting Objects are in Free Fall • An object is in orbit for two reasons: • It is moving forward • It is in free fall LEFT - PICTURE
RIGHT - NOTES Orbiting and Centripetal Force • Centripetal force - the unbalanced force that causes objects to move in a circular path • Ex. The moon orbits the earth, the earth around sun • Space exploration: What is an orbit? • The swing set myth
RIGHT - NOTES Projectile Motion and Gravity Projectile Motion and Gravity Projectile Motion- the curved path that an object follows when thrown. Horizontal Motion - When you throw a ball, the forward force your hand exerts on the ball Vertical Motion- Pulled down towards the earth by gravity LEFT - PICTURE
LEFT - ACTIVITY Quick lab – penny projectile motion • Position a ruler and two pennies on a desk. • Hold the ruler by the end on the desk, move the ruler quickly so it knocks the penny off the table and so that the other penny also drops. Repeat. • Which penny travels in a projectile motion? • In what order do the pennies hit the ground?
RIGHT - NOTES seCTION 2: Newton’s Laws of Motion • Newton’s First Law of Motion • An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at constant speed and in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force. 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.
LEFT - PICTURE Newton’s first law of motion • What is the motion in this picture? Forward motion – rolling • What is the unbalanced force in this picture? Rock • What happened to the skater in this picture? Fall off the skateboard • What other force do you know that can stop an object from moving? • Friction, gravity
Newton’s first law of motion • Newton’s 1st Law is also the • reason you wear a seatbelt! • Newton’s 1st Law is also known as inertia • Inertia – the tendency of an object to resist being moved, or if the object is moving to resist a change in speed or direction until an outside force acts on it • Does mass have an affect on inertia? Would you rather catch a baseball or bowling ball? • Yes mass has an affect on inertia
Newton’s Second Law of Motion • 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. • What does this mean? • Everyone knows the Second Law. The heavier objects require more force to move the same distance as lighter objects
Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion • The 2nd Law gives us an exact relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. It can be expressed as a mathematical equation: • or FORCE = MASS times ACCELERATION • SI Unit for force = Newtons (N)
Newton’s 2nd law of motion • 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 makes the car go 0.05 m/s2. Using Newton's Second Law, you can compute how much force Mike is applying to the car.
Newton’s 2nd law of motion • What is the acceleration of a 3 Kg mass if a force of 14.4 N is used to move the mass? • What force is necessary to accelerate a 1,250 Kg car at a rate of 40 m/s2?
Newton’s third law • For every action there is an equal and opposite re-action. • What does this mean? This means that for every force there is a reaction force that is equal in size, but opposite in direction. That is to say that whenever an object pushes another object it gets pushed back in the opposite direction equally hard
Newton’s third law • Let's study how a rocket works to understand Newton's 3rd Law. • The rocket's actionis 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. • Newton’s Cradle
Momentum • Momentum - Depends on the object’s mass and velocity. The more momentum an object has, the harder it is to stop the object or change directions. • What would have more momentum? • A bowling ball or a basketball rolled at the same velocity? • Bowling ball b/c it has more mass • A tractor trailer or a Honda civic at the same velocity? • Tractor trailer
Momentum • Equation: • Momentum = mass x velocity • p = m x v • (Kg m/s) (Kg) (m/s) • Example: • A 100 Kg car falls off a cliff from rest and hits the ground with a velocity of 35 m/s. What is the car’s momentum when it hits the ground? • A 35 Kg bowling ball was thrown at Tommy at a velocity of 15 m/s. What was the bowling ball’s momentum?
Momentum Problems • What is the momentum of an ostrich with a mass of 120 Kg that runs with a velocity of 16 m/s north? • What is the momentum of a 6 Kg cat that is moving at 10 m/s down the alley toward the mouse? • An 85 Kg man is jogging with a velocity of 2.6 m/s to the north. Nearby, a 65 Kg person is skateboarding and is traveling with a velocity of 3 m/s north. Which person has a greater momentum? Show your work.
law of conservation of momentum • Any time objects collide, the total amount of momentum stays the same. This is true for all collisions if no other forces act on the colliding objects • Conservation of Momentum can be explained by Newton’s third law of motion. Action Force Reaction Force 5
