Presentation Transcript

  1. Friction and pressure Physics

  2. Frictional force • Friction acts on materials that are in contact with one another • Friction is caused by irregularities in the two surfaces • meter stick demo

  3. friction

  4. The force of friction depends on: • Kinds of material • how much the surfaces are pressed together • Friction does not depend on the amount of surface area in contact • friction turns mechanical energy into heat • heat demo(fire drill)

  5. Friction occurs in liquid and gas • Liquids and gas are called fluids (because they flow) • air resistance is a common form of fluid friction

  6. Is it possible to move at a constant velocity: • Even when a force is applied? • terminal velocity ( no acceleration)

  7. A free body diagram: • Shows all the forces acting on an object

  8. Pressure • Pressure = force / area • The bigger the area the less force • Smaller the area the more force • ice skater • knife blade

  9. Atmospheric pressure • Atmospheric pressure is 10.13 N/cm2 • Egg in the bottle demo • Shrink wrap demo
