Presentation Transcript

  1. Motion, Acceleration, and Forces(chapter 3) • Motion occurs as something changes position • Relative motion appears according to your position • Distance is how far an object moves • Displacement if the distance and direction an object changes • This is known as a vector

  2. Speed vs. velocity • Speed – the distance traveled per unit time (m/s) • Instantaneous speed – speed at a given point in time • Average speed = total distance/total time • Velocity – the speed and direction of an object

  3. Graphing motion

  4. Let’s change things up…

  5. Acceleration – an objects change in velocity • Very unique label (ex. m/s2) • Negative acc= deceleration Acceleration = (final velocity – initial velocity) (final time – initial time)

  6. Let’s look at a speed-time graph

  7. Motion and Force • Force is a push or pull on an object • Balance forces – equal in size; opposite in direction • No motion!

  8. Unbalanced forces result in motion!

  9. Friction – a force that opposes motion • Static friction – the force to get something to move • Sliding friction – the force that keeps something moving • Rolling friction > sliding friction

  10. Air resistance opposes motion through the air

  11. Terminal velocity
