  2. Learning Objectives • Describe what a force is. • Describe how balanced and unbalanced forces are related to an object’s motion.

  3. What is a Force? (No lab write-up) • Goal: Determine more than one way to create a force reading using the force sensor. • Results: What were the ways you used to create a force? How did or would you create a weak force? A stronger force? Can forces be negative? How did you get a negative force? • Conclusions: Based upon these ways, what is a force? Does a force depend on direction? How do you know from the experiment? How else is a force described outside of direction?

  4. - The Nature of Force Combining Forces (Real World Examples + Tug-of-War Challenge) • Do forces usually act alone? The combination of all forces acting on an object is called the net force.

  5. - The Nature of Force Unbalanced Forces • Unbalanced forces acting on an object result in a net force and cause a change in the object’s motion.

  6. - The Nature of Force Balanced Forces • Balanced forces acting on an object do not change the object’s motion.

  7. A force is… • Always balanced. • A push or a pull. • A pull that pushes. • What Jedi Knights possess.

  8. A force is measured by its • Power only. • Strength or magnitude only. • Strength or magnitude and direction. • Direction and its pull.

  9. A sky diver experiences a 900 N downward force and a 200 N upward force. What is the net force (in the correct direction)? • 700 N up • 700 N down • 1100 N up • 1100 N down

  10. Which direction will the cart below move? • The cart will not because the forces are balanced. • Left because the net force is -90 N to the left. • Right because the net force is 90 N to the right. • Up because the cart is being pulled to the left and to the right.

  11. The two dogs in the picture below are pulling on a rope. The dog on the left is pulling at 200 N while the dog on the right is pulling at 200 N. What direction will the rope move? • South because the forces are balanced. • West because the dog on the left is pulling harder. • East because the dog on the right is stronger. • The rope will not move because the forces are balanced.

  12. - The Nature of Force Asking Questions • Before you read, preview the red headings. In a graphic organizer like the one below, ask a what or how question for each heading. As you read, write answers to your questions. Question Answer What is a force? A force is a push or pull. What happens when forces combine? Forces combine to produce a net force.

  15. Noggin Knockers/Homework (8 points total- 2 points each) • 1- (A) Balanced forcesdo not affect an object’s motion because they cancel out. (B) Unbalanced forces will cause the object to move or change it’s motion. • 2- The purple arrow because it is longer. • 3- 120 N + 150 N = 270 Ndownward (strength & direction) • 4- 200 N – 100 N = 100 N to the right

  16. Learning Objective • Describe friction and identify the factors that determine the frictional force between 2 objects.

  17. Friction Experiments • Goal: Determine what 2 factors affect the frictional force between two objects. Also, determine how friction can be reduced. • Hypothesis (x3): For Part 1, determine which surface (floor or rug) will produce the greatest frictional force. For Part 2, determine how the added weight will affect the frictional force. For Part 3, determine how adding wheels will affect the frictional force (w/o weights). • Procedure (Use the Digits function, not the Graph function): • Part 1- Pull a force sensor attached to the block of wood to determine the frictional force that needs to be OVERCOME so the block of wood can START to move. Make sure you ZERO the sensor before you start pulling. • Part 2- Add weight to the blocks of wood and repeat Part 1. • Part 3- After removing the weights, add wheels to the blocks of wood and repeat Part 1. • Results: Organize your results for each part of the procedure.

  18. Friction Experiment • Conclusions (in complete sentences): • Which surface produced a greater frictional force? Explain why this is the case. • What was the effect of extra weight on the frictional force? What was the effect of wheels on the frictional force? • Make your claim/conclusion (make sure it relates to the goal below), and back it up with evidence from the experiment. Use your conclusions from #1 and #2 above for guidance. • Goal: Determine what 2 factors affect the frictional force between two objects. Also, determine how friction can be reduced.

  19. Friction Notes • For friction notes, examine your conclusions from the Friction Experiment. • Friction is a force that resists or inhibits the motion of objects when they move against each other. • Also, you should know that the type ofsurface of an object and that how hard surfaces push together affect friction (you increased the 2nd variable in bold by adding more weight). • Lastly, know how wheels affect friction as well as any other ways to reduce friction.

Which of the following describes the frictional force? • Markie and Suzy both push the safe the same direction. • The weight of the safe exerts a downward force. • The floor pushes upward on the safe. • There is some resistance going against the direction the safe is moving.

  21. Which change would require more force to pull the wooden block up the ramp? • Glue sandpaper to the surface of the ramp. • Reduce the mass of the wooden block. • Restack the books so the thinnest book is on the bottom. • Have the student use two hands.

  22. Which of the following would produce the greatest frictional force between 2 objects? • A 100 kg wooden block sliding across a smooth table. • A 200 kg wooden block sliding across a smooth table. • A 100 kg wooden block sliding across a rug. • A 200 kg wooden block sliding across a rug.

  25. Sneaker Traction Friction Experiment (Just record your group’s data) • Goal: Determine which sneakers have the best traction (by examining the frictional force). • Background: What will you be measuring that indicates good traction? • Procedure: Same as Part 1 from the previous Friction Experiment. Record the frictional force on the SMART Board for the group member who had the shoes with the most traction. • Results: Organize your results into a table for your group. Add the other groups’ data into your table. • Conclusion: Make your claim (related to the goal) & back it up with evidence and relate it to what affects the frictional force between 2 objects from the previous experiment.

  38. Learning Objectives • Explain why objects accelerate during free fall (by describing how gravity affects falling objects).

  39. Acceleration Due to Gravity (No lab write-up) • Goal: Determine the acceleration due to gravity for objects in free fall. • Pre-Lab Demos (Dropping Paper and a Ball): Determine if objects of different masses accelerate slower or faster by observing when they hit the ground. Does the mass of an object change how fast it free falls? Why or why not? So, does the force due to gravity affect all objects on Earth the same? • Hypothesis: We will do the hypothesis as a class verbally. • Procedure: • Use a motion sensor from a high height (on the Digits and Acceleration settings) & drop a ball (AFTER HITTING PLAY) to determine the Acc. due to Gravity. • Repeat 3-5 times and RECORD the acceleration right before the ball hits the ground (hit play to pause the data collection). • Results/Conclusions (Make sure you can answer these questions): • What is the acceleration due to gravity from the experiment? • The actual value is m/s/s. How close were you to the actual value? • What may cause the ball to not accelerate as quickly (what could slow it down)?

  40. - Friction and Gravity Free Fall = When gravity is the only force acting on the object • Use the graph to answer the following questions.

  41. The slope is 9.8. The speed increases by 9.8 m/s each second. This is the actual acceleration due to gravity on Earth without any air resistance. Calculating: Calculate the slope of the graph. What does the slope tell you about the object’s motion? - Friction and Gravity Free Fall

  42. 58.8 m/s Predicting: What will the speed of the object be at 6 seconds? - Friction and Gravity Free Fall

  43. The speed values would not change. Drawing Conclusions: Suppose another object of the same size but with a greater mass was dropped instead. How would the speed values change? - Friction and Gravity Free Fall

  44. - Friction and Gravity Air Resistance • Falling objects with a greater surface area experience more air resistance.

  45. Two objects are dropped from the top of a tall building and there is no wind. One object is a 16 lb. bowling ball and the other is a basketball. What will be each object’s approximate acceleration when they are dropped? • 9.8 m/s/s for the basketball and 8.0 m/s/s for the bowling ball. • 0.0 m/s/s for both objects. • 9.8 m/s/s for both objects. • 9.8 m/s/s for the bowling ball and 4.9 m/s/s for the basketball

  46. When gravity is the only force acting on an object, then that object is • Moving at a constant velocity. • Not accelerating. • In free fall. • Moving quickly.

  47. Suppose a large rock is dropped straight down from a high cliff while the other is pushed out from the top of the cliff. Which one will land first and WHY? • The rock that is pushed out from the cliff will hit first because it had an extra force to make it fall faster. • The rock that’s dropped straight down will hit first because it has a shorter path to travel. • They will both hit the ground at the same time because gravity acts the same on all free-falling objects. • Neither will hit the ground.

  48. Why will a leaf fall slowly to the ground while other objects fall quickly? • It’s lighter. • Air resistance • Gravity • They just do.
