  1. Motion

  2. Event that involves a change in the position or location of something. Definition

  3. Motion is Relative • Relative – it is described by or compared to a REFERENCE POINT

  4. Types of Motion • Uniform motion - constant speed in a straight line • Accelerated motion – motion that is changing in speed or direction • Circular motion - speed is constant but the direction of motion is changing continuously

  5. Forces • Pushes or pulls • May cause acceleration [changes in motion]

  6. Balanced Forces • All forces acting on an object are equal • There is no motion

  7. Unbalanced Forces • All forces acting on an object are not equal • One or more force is stronger than others • Motion occurs

  8. Net Force • The sum of all forces acting on an object • A net force of 0 • No motion • A net force of more than 0 • Motion occurs

  9. Friction • Force that slows down motion

  10. Gravity • Force that attracts all objects toward each other • More mass = more gravity

  11. SpeedAverage Speed • Comparison of time and distance • Distance traveled per unit time • S = d / t • T = d / s • D = s x t

  12. SpeedInstantaneous Speed • Speed at any instant

  13. SpeedConstant Speed • Speed that does not change • Instantaneous speed that does not change

  14. Velocity • Speed AND direction

  15. Acceleration • A change in velocity • Speeding up • Positive acceleration • Slowing down • Negative acceleration • Deceleration • Changing direction

  16. Newton's Laws • Describe motion and changes in motion

  17. First Law of Motion • Law of inertia • Objects at rest [not moving] will not begin to move until a force acts on them • Objects in motion will not stop moving until a force acts on them • Objects with more mass have more inertia • Bigger objects are harder to start and stop

  18. Second Law of Motion • Law of acceleration • A force is needed to change motion • Objects accelerate in the direction of the force • The more force applied, then more acceleration • The more mass an object has, the more force is needed to accelerate the object

  19. Third Law of Motion • Law of action-reaction • Forces occur in pairs • The forces are equal and opposite • One force is an action force • The other force is a reaction force • The forces act on different objects
