Chapter 18 Motion and Momentum
Matter and Motion • All matter in the universe is in constant motion • When an object moves from one location to another, it changes position • Point of Reference • Determines a change in position
Distance and Displacement • Distance • The length of the route traveled • Displacement • The direction and the difference in position between your starting and ending points
Speed • The distance traveled divided by the time taken to travel the distance • Speed (meters/second)= distance/time • S=d/t • Calculate the speed of a swimmer who swims 100 m in 56 seconds.
Average Speed vs. Instantaneous Speed • Average Speed • Found by dividing the total distance traveled by the time taken • Instantaneous Speed • The speed of an object at one instance of time
Graphing Motion • Time is plotted on the horizontal axis • Distance is plotted on the vertical axis
Velocity • The speed of the object and the direction of its motion • May change if the object’s speed, velocity, or both changes.
Acceleration • The change in velocity divided by the time it takes for the change to occur • Has direction • Speeding Up • Direction that the object is moving • Slowing Down • Opposite to the direction that the object is moving • Angle • Turns toward direction of acceleration
Acceleration Equation • Acceleration (m/s2)= • (final speed (in m/s) - initial speed (in m/s)) / time (in s) • a= (sf – si) / t • Calculate the acceleration of a bus whose speed changes from 6 m/s to 12 m/s over a period of 3 s.
Positive and Negative Acceleration • Both positive and negative acceleration may be calculated with the previous equation. • If the acceleration is positive, add a + sign to the beginning of your answer. • If the acceleration is negative, add a – sign to the beginning of your answer.
Graphing Acceleration • Speed or velocity is on the vertical axis • Time is on the horizontal axis
Mass and Inertia • Mass • Amount of matter in an object • The more mass an object has, the harder it is to start moving, and the harder it is to slow it down. • Inertia • An object’s tendency to resist a change in its motion • The more mass an object has, the harder it is to change its motion
Momentum • A measure of how hard it is to stop an object in motion • Momentum (in kg * m/s) = mass (in kg) x velocity (in m/s) p= mv • Calculate the momentum of a 14 kg bicycle traveling north at 2 m/s.
Law of conservation of momentum • The total momentum of objects that collide is the same before and after the collision
Chapter 19 Force and Newton’s Laws
Force • A push or a pull • An object will speed up, slow down, or turn only if something is pushing or pulling it • Many different kinds of forces: • Magnetic, gravitational, Intentional
Net Force • The combination of all the forces acting on an object • Determines the motion on an object • Object at rest has a net force of zero • Same direction=add together • Opposite direction=difference between two
Balanced vs. Unbalanced Forces • Balanced Forces • When 2 or more forces exerted on each other are equal and cancel each other out • Do not cause a change in motion • Net force is zero • Unbalanced Forces • Forces do not cancel each other out • Net force is not zero • Motion of object changes
Newton’s First Law of Motion • If the net force acting on an object is zero, the object remains at rest, or if the object is already moving, continues to move in a straight line with constant speed.
Friction • The force that acts to resist sliding between two touching surfaces • The force that brings nearly everything to a stop • First proposed by Galileo • Motion of an object doesn’t change until an unbalanced force acts on it
Newton’s Second Law of Motion • An object acted upon by a force will accelerate in the direction of the force • Acceleration (meters/second2) = net force (in newtons) / mass (in kilograms) • a = Fnet / m or Fnet = ma
Gravity • Force that exists between an object and Earth • Always attractive and pulls objects toward each other • Responsible for pulling us downward and for Earth’s orbit the Sun, as well as Moon’s orbit around Earth
Weight • The measure of gravitational pull on an object • Causes all objects to fall at an acceleration of 9.8 m/s2 • Mass never changes, but weight changes depending on location (example.. space)
Newton’s Third Law of Motion • Forces always act in equal but opposite pairs • For every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction • Action/Reaction forces don’t cancel because they act on different objects.
