  1. Force and Motion ISCI 2002

  2. Force 1. Force: ‘push’ or ‘pull’ on an object 2. Objects in motion stay in motion unless enacted upon by a ‘unbalanced’ force. • Newton’s First Law

  3. Force 3. Forces: friction (drag), thrust, etc. 4. Are you telling me that if an object in motion continues at a constant velocity unless ……. • Forces change the velocity of an object in motion

  4. Law of Inertia • The first law relates to inertia. • The tendency for an object to remain in whatever state of motion that it is in is referred to as ‘inertia’ 3. Consider the following: • The greater the mass the _________ the inertia. 4. Mass – how much inertia an object has

  5. Weight and the Force of Gravity 1. Weight: (mass)(force of gravity) 2. Mass is constant. Weight depends on the force of gravity upon an object. • Is the weight of a 60-kg rocket at the surface of the Earth equal to the weight when at 2,600 kilometers above the Earth? • No. Why?

  6. The Newton 3. The ‘Newton’ • (kg)(m/s2) -------- kg x m/s2

  7. Relationship between Force, Mass and Acceleration 1. Newton’sSecondLaw • The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. • a = Fnet / mass

  8. Second Law 2. What happens to acceleration when: (a). The force upon it doubles? (mass is constant) (b). The force is decreased by ½? (mass is constant) (c). Mass is doubled (force is constant)

  9. Newton’s Third Law • For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. • Forces always come in pairs. • Features: • They are equal in magnitude • Opposite in direction • They act on different objects

  10. Third Law

  11. Newton’s Third Law • If you punch the wall with a 10 N force, the wall exerts a force of __________ upon your fist. • Opposite in direction? • Act on different objects?

  12. Speaking of Acceleration due to Gravity • Galileo – objects in ‘free-fall’. • Objects falling freely fall with the same acceleration (9.8 m/s2) – near Earth • So speed or velocity changes 9.8 m/s every second. • The instantaneousspeed or velocity of a body dropped from rest: • V = (9.8 m/s2) time • V = at (if the initial velocity is 0)

  13. Free Fall

  14. Freely Falling Objects • At 2 seconds an objects velocity fall is ____________. • If a ball is thrown upward at an initial velocity of 29.4 m/s, what is it’s velocity at 1.0 seconds? 2.0 seconds? 3.0 seconds? 4.0 seconds? 5.0 seconds? 6.0 seconds?

  15. Free Fall • Galileo rolled balls down a ramp. • He measured the distance they moved during time intervals. • This slowed down the ball in order to take accurate measurements. • He found that: • d = ½ at2 • If an object falls (from rest) for a total of 2 seconds, how far has it fallen?
