Essential Questions • How is a force described? • How do balanced and unbalanced forces affect an object’s velocity?
Force and Net Force • Force is a push or a pull on an object. • Net force is the total force on an object.
Unbalanced ForceBalanced Force The balanced forces are the forces in equal and opposite directions. • Unbalanced Force can cause an object to, stop moving, or change direction.
Essential Questions • What is Newton’s first law of motion? • What is Newton’s second law of motion?
Newton’s First Law Inertia Greater mass means Greater inertia • An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force. • Inertia is every objects resistance to change its motion.
Newton’s Second Law • The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object and inversely proportional to the object’s mass.
Force=mass x acceleration F=m x a Or a = Force/ mass a = F/m
Equation for Newton It’s the same as the force equation! Newton=m x a.
Essential Questions • What factors determine the strength of the friction force between two surfaces? • What factors affect the gravitational force between two objects? • Why do objects accelerate during free fall? • When is matter considered to be elastic?
3 Types of Friction • The 3 types of friction are: • Sliding friction (strongest) • Rolling friction • Fluid friction (weakest).
2 Factors of Friction • 1-Type of surface. • 2-How hard the two surfaces push together.
Air Resistance and Weight • Air resistance is a type of fluid friction on falling objects. Weight is the force of gravity on an object at the surface of the Earth.
Law of Universal Gravitation • Gravity acts between all objects in the universe.
Gravity Between Objects • The force of gravity between objects increases with greater mass and decreases with greater distance.
Gravity is the force that pulls objects toward the Earth- acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s/s.
Pgs. 56-61 Newton’s Third law • If an object exerts a force on another object, the second object, exerts an equal force in the opposite direction.
Essential Questions • What is Newton’s third law of motion? • How can you calculate the momentum of an object? • What is the law of conservation of momentum?
Momentum • The momentum of an object is the product of its mass and velocity. • In other words: Momentum = mass x velocity Kg x m/s
Law of Conservation of Momentum • The total momentum of the objects that interact does not change.
