Title: Motion and force


1
Motion and force
2
  • A force applied to an object can change the
    objects motion.

3
  • Motion is the change in an objects position.

4
  • Frame of reference is knowing if an object is
    moving or is at rest.

5
  • Newton is the scientist that discovered the laws
    of motion.

6
Newtons First Law
  • An object at rest, stays at rest. An object in
    motion, stays in motion unless a force is
    applied.

7
  • A push or pull that acts on an object is called
    force.

8
  • Resistance to a change in motion is called
    inertia.

9
  • Force
  • Air Resistance

10
  • Speed is a measure of distance moved in a given
    amount of time.

11
Formula for speed
  • Speed equals distance divided by time
  • SD/T
  • S is for speed
  • D is for distance
  • T is for time

12
Velocity
  • Velocity measures both speed and direction.

13
  • Speed
  • Direction. Going opposite ways.

14
Acceleration
  • A change in speed and direction is called
    acceleration.

15
Balanced force
  • Same amount of force on each side and therefore
    there is no movement.

16
Unbalanced force
  • There is different amounts of force coming from
    each side and therefore, the truck is going to
    move.

17
Force mass x acceleration
  • FMxA
  • An objects acceleration depends on its mass and
    size of force acting on it.

18
Newton
  • Sir Isaac Newton was not only the scientist who
    formulated the Laws of Motion, his name is used
    for the units of motion.
  • Like inches and feet are units, newtons are units
    too!

19
Gravity
  • A force that causes objects with mass to be
    attracted, or pulled, toward one another is
    called gravity.

20
Friction
  • Force that resists motion of one surface to
    another is friction.
  • Air resistance or drag
