Unit 6: Bell Ringer.

If you are sitting still in your seat on a bus that is traveling 100 km/h on a highway, is

your body at rest or in motion? Explain.

Unit 6: Force and Motion.

Although he did not discover all three laws

of motion, he explained them in a way that

helped many people understand them.

Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727)

Newton’s First Law of Motion

“An object at rest remains at rest and an

object in motion remains in motion at

constant speed and in a straight line unless

acted on by an unbalanced force.”

Unit 6: Force and Motion.

Unit 6: Force and Motion.

What is force?!

Force is simply a push or pull.Forces have SIZE AND DIRECTION

Unit 6: Force and Motion.

The unit for force: Newton (N)

BrinPop on Force: https://www.brainpop.com/science/motionsforcesandtime/force/

What does this mean?

Basically, an object will “keep doing what it was doing” unless acted on

by an unbalanced force.

Unit 6: Force and Motion.

If the object was sitting still, it will remain stationary.

If it was moving at a constant velocity, it will keep moving.

Newton’s First Law is also called the Law of Inertia

Inertia: the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion

Unit 6: Force and Motion.

An object with a small mass has less inertia than an object with a large mass.

Unit 6: Force and Motion.

This means… it is easier to start and change the motion of an object with a small mass!

Real Life Inertia Examples

Unit 6: Force and Motion.

Inertia makes it easier to push the lawn mower than it does to start pushing a car!

Momentum: property of a moving object that depends on the mass and

velocity.

Unit 6: Force and Motion.

The more momentum, the harder it is to stop or change the direction of the object!

But wait…If objects in motion tend to stay in motion,

why don’t moving objects keep moving forever?

Unit 6: Force and Motion.

Example: A book sliding across a table slows down and stops because

of the force of friction.

Unit 6: Force and Motion.

Friction: is a force that oppose motion between two surfaces that are touching

Friction song!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5f7SyvHUac

In outer space, away from gravity and any sources of friction, a rocket ship launched with a certain speed and direction would keep going in that same direction and at

that same speed forever.

Unit 6: Force and Motion.

Unit 6: Force and Motion.

Pushing a solid over a solid.

Unit 6: Force and Motion.

Wheels reduce friction so things are

easier to move.

Unit 6: Force and Motion.

The force between solids and a liquid or gas.

Unit 6: Force and Motion.

This force balances others so the object does not move

Unit 6: Force and Motion. Inertia Ball LAB

1. Work on Newton's Laws vocabulary. Study. Go over notes. Read through lab/ try to answer any

that you can.Read through textbook pg 145-147.

2. Perform lab when sent into the hall. (5-10 minutes)

3. Answer lab questions with group. HAND IN ONE LAB FOR THE group (SUMMATIVE)!

4. When done, start homework. (20 point SOL Menu)

Unit 6: Force and Motion.

Bell Ringer: 1. This crash dummy is NOT wearing a seat belt. Explain, using Newton’s first law of motion, what will happen if he were to

get into a collision. (think about momentum and inertia)

Unit 6: Force and Motion.

Newton’s Second Law of Motion

“The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of

force applied.”

Unit 6: Force and Motion.

What does that mean?... Let’s look at the law on 2 parts…

1) Acceleration depends on mass!

If given the same force Less mass -> greater acceleration Greater mass -> less acceleration

Unit 6: Force and Motion.

2) Acceleration depends on force!

If given the same mass Less force-> less acceleration Greater force -> greater acceleration

Unit 6: Force and Motion.

Unit 6: Force and Motion.

Let’s try:A little boy pushes a wagon with his dog in it. The mass of the dog and the wagon together is 45 kg. The wagon accelerates at 0.85 m/s2. What force is

the boy pulling with?

Unit 6: Force and Motion.

Now your turn… try the rest of the question on the “Newton’s Second Law of Motion- Worksheet”

Unit 6: Force and Motion.

Suppose you drop a large rock and a small rock at the same time from the same height.

Which do you think will land first?

Unit 6: Force and Motion.

All objects accelerate towards the ground at the SAME rate.

9.8 m/s2 = acceleration due

to gravity

On Earth, falling objects will be slowed down by air resistance.

(fluid friction between the falling object and the air)

Bell Ringer: 1. The whale shark is the largest of all fish and can have the

mass of three adult elephants. Suppose that a crane is lifting a whale shark into a tank for delivery to an aquarium. The crane

must exert an unbalanced force of 2500 N to lift the shark from rest. If the shark’s acceleration equals 1.25 m/s2, what is

the shark’s mass?

Newton’s Third Law of Motion

“Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal

and opposite force on the first.”

Unit 6: Force and Motion.

All forces act in pairs

Unit 6: Force and Motion.

What are some examples of action and reaction force

pairs?
