Bell Ringer 1-27-10 See if you can answer these from memory: What is a force? What unit measures force? A ________ is a combination of all the forces acting on an object. List the two types of forces and the key words we use to remember them.
Friction Foldable • Once your paper is folded, label the four sections with the four types of friction: • Static friction • Sliding friction • Fluid friction • Rolling friction p. 342
Types of friction • Static friction – friction that acts on objects that are not moving Ex. Pushing on a heavy refrigerator/ driving off with a book on top of the car • Sliding friction – friction that occurs when 2 solid surfaces slide over each other Ex. Bike brakes/ ballet dancers
Types of Friction (cont’d) • Rolling friction- occurs when an object rolls across a surface (ex: skateboard on road) • Fluid friction – occurs when a solid object moves through a fluid (ex: surfboard on water)
Who is this? Sir Issac Newton
Gravity • Gravity- a force that pulls objects toward each other • Ex: Earth pulling us toward it • Law of Universal Gravitation- the law that states that the force of gravity acts between all objects in the universe • Why don’t you feel the gravity between other objects and you?
Gravity • Two factors affect Gravity: • 1. Mass • amount of matter in an object • Not affected by gravity • Greater the mass, greater the gravity • Ex: sun and planets • 2. Distance • Increase distance, decrease gravity
Weight • Weight- the force of gravity on an object or person
Air Resistance • Air Resistance- an upward force exerted on falling objects • It’s not the same for all objects. • The greater the surface area, the greater the air resistance.
Terminal Velocity • Terminal Velocity- the greatest velocity a falling object reaches • Exists when the force of air resistance equals the weight of the object/or the force of gravity pulling down on the object • Air Resistance = Weight or Gravity
Projectile • Projectile- an object that is thrown • Will an object that is thrown horizontally land on the ground at the same time as an object that is dropped?
Exit Quiz 1-26-10 • What is a force? • The combination of all the forces acting on an object is called ______. • If two forces are balanced, is there a net force? • The SI unit for force is the ________. • Tell me one of the four types of friction and give an example.
