PPT-Forces and Motion Simulation Summary Notes

Forces Forces Forces have Magnitude and Direction We represent these in diagrams with arrows Larger the force the bigger the arrow 50N in Each direction Forces and Motion When we look at a diagram we can figure out the sum of forces . Definition: . A . force. is a push or a pull in a particular direction.. How does it balance?. Textbook p. 53. You probably would be uneasy standing under Balanced Rock near Buhl, Idaho. Yet this unusual rock stays in place year after year. The rock has forces acting on it. So, . A projectile is an object upon which the only force acting is gravity. .. An . object dropped from rest is a projectile (provided that the influence of air resistance is negligible). .  . An object that is thrown vertically upward is also a projectile (provided that the influence of air resistance is negligible). . Forces act on you all the time. . If . you surf, you can feel many forces pushing and pulling you in different directions. . Gravity . always pulls you down, towards planet Earth. . This . force can be balanced by the support of the surfboard acting upwards. . 11.1: Forces change motion. 11.2: Force and mass determine acceleration. 11.3 Forces act in pairs. 11.4 Forces transfer momentum. Warm-up Questions (T or F). Speed includes direction, while velocity does not. Robert Strawn. Compiled 10/16/11. A force is any push or pull that one object exerts on . another that causes a change in motion, direction, or shape.. The unit for force is the Newton (N) and is equal to . Forces. Forces can be thought of as pushes and pulls. Examples. You exert a force on a door to open it (a push). Gravity exerts a force on you which holds you to the surface of the earth (a pull). Forces. Standards. SPS8. Students will determine relationships among force, mass and motion. b. Apply Newton’s three laws to everyday situations by explaining the following:. Inertia. Relationship between force, mass and acceleration. Topic VII . Division of Science . Benchmarks. SC.2.P.13.1 . Investigate the effect of applying various pushes and pulls on different objects. . Cognitive Complexity. : Level 3: Strategic Thinking & Complex . Changes in Motion. Objectives:. 1. Describe how force affects the motion of an object.. 2. Interpret and construct free-body diagrams.. The Force is Strong With You. Force. is an action exerted on an object which may change the object's state of rest or motion.. Science Question of the Day . What causes the noise when you crack your joints?. _________________________________. _________________________________. _________________________________. Gravity . Gravity is a specific kind of _____________.. Force. - a . push. or . pull . A . Force . 1. gives. . energy . to objects. 2. causes a. . change . in motion, such as:. . Starting. Speeding Up. Changing Direction. Stopping. Slowing Down. (Note: all of these are forms of . Science Question of the Day . What causes the noise when you crack your joints?. Gravity . Gravity is a specific kind of force.. A force is simply the push or a pull on an object.. Can you think of some examples of pushes and pulls on objects?. EDEXCEL TOPIC 2 - MOTION AND FORCES (part 1) Describing Motion Average speed = distance ÷ time s = d ÷ t Speed Metre/second ( m/s) Distance Metre (m) Time Second (s) Current Ampere (A) Temperature . Review: Forces. What is a force? . Why do you think it’s important to learn about forces? What about gravity and friction?. How might an understanding of forces help you in your everyday life? .
