1. Force & Mass 8-5.4 :: Predict how varying the amount of force or mass will affect the motion of an object.

2. Force … o F (force)= M (mass) X A (acceleration) o If an object is in motion and more force is applied to it, the object will begin moving faster.

3. Force … o If two objects have the same mass and a greater force is applied to one of the objects, the object which receives the greater force will change speeds more quickly. o For example if a ball is hit harder, it will speed up faster.

4. Force … o If an object must be slowed down quickly, the force applied to the object must be greater than what is needed for a gradual slowing down. o For example, the greater the force applied to the brakes of a bicycle, the more quickly it will slow down or stop.

5. Force … o Varying the amount of force applied to a moving object can also change the direction that the object is moving more or less quickly. o For example, a baseball pitched toward the batter may quickly change direction and speed if hit very hard, or may change direction and speed more slowly if hit softly as with a bunt.

14. F (force)= M (mass) X A (acceleration)

16. Mass … o If a heavy (more massive) object is in motion, more force must be applied to get the object moving faster.

17. Mass … o If the same force is applied to two objects, the object with the smaller mass will change speeds more quickly. o For example if a baseball and a bowling ball are thrown with the same force the baseball will speed up faster.

18. Mass … o In order to slow down or stop a heavier (more massive) object, the force on that object must be greater than for a less massive object. o For example, if the same braking force is applied to a small car and a large truck, the car will slow down more quickly.

19. Mass … o It is more difficult to change the direction of a heavy (more massive) moving object, than one that is lighter (less) in mass. – Example: a full shopping cart vs. an empty shopping cart
