1. Motion A change in the position of an object
Caused by force (a push or pull)

2. Force A push or pull on an object Measured in units called newtons (N)
Measured with a spring scale
Forces act in pairs
Types of Force:
Gravity
Electric
Magnetic
Friction
Centripetal
Normal

3. Balanced Forces
When all the forces acting on an object are equal (net force is zero)
Balanced forces do not cause a change in motion.
Balanced forces can change the physical properties of an object without changing its motion.
In your notes, describe an example of a balanced force.

4. How Can Balanced Forces Affect Objects?
Cause the shape of an object to change without changing its motion
Cause an object at rest to stay at rest or an object in motion to stay in motion (inertia)
Cause an object moving at a constant speed to continue at a constant speed
In your notes, describe an example of a balanced force affecting an object.

5. Inertia
An object at rest will remain at rest until acted upon by an unbalanced force.
An object in motion will remain in motion until acted upon by an unbalanced force.
When all forces acting on an object are equal (balanced)

6. Unbalanced Forces
When all the forces acting on an object are not equal
The forces can be in the same direction or in opposite directions.
Unbalanced forces cause a change in motion.
In your notes, describe an example of an unbalanced force.

7. How Can Unbalanced Forces Affect Objects?
Acceleration is caused by unbalanced forces:
slow down
speed up
stop
start
change direction
change shape
In your notes, describe an example of an unbalanced force affecting an object.

8. Net Force The total of all forces acting on an object:
Forces in the same direction are added.
The object will move in the direction of the force.
Forces in opposite directions are subtracted.
An object will move in the direction of the greater force.

Find the formula for Force on your formula chart and write it down.
Calculate the force (N) of an object if the mass is 25kg and the acceleration is 2.3 m/s².

24. Objects affected by unbalanced forces move like…

25. Objects affected by balanced forces move like…

26. Mass and Weight Mass is the amount of stuff (matter) in an object.
The mass of an object will remain the same anywhere in the universe.
Mass is measured in grams or kilograms.
Weight is the mass (kg) of an object multiplied by the acceleration of gravity (9.8 m/s2).
The weight of an object depends on the gravitational pull of the location in the universe.
The gravitational pull on the Moon is only 1/6 of Earth’s gravitational pull.
Weight is measured in newtons (N).

27. Mass and Weight
Example: F=ma A person with a mass of 25 kg x 9.8 m/s2 gravitational acceleration is equal to 245 N of weight force. F= 25 kg x 9.8 m/s2 F = 245 N The person exerts 245 N of force on the ground. If the person went to the Moon, they would only weigh 1/6 of 245 N.

28. Force
Force (N) = mass (kg) x acceleration (m/s2) F ÷
m x a

29. Force
Acceleration (m/s2) = force (N) ÷ mass (kg) F ÷
m x a

30. Force
Mass (kg) = force (N) ÷ acceleration (m/s2) F ÷
m x a

31. Practice
The acceleration of a sprinter is 10 m/s2. The force exerted on the starting blocks is 650 N. What is the mass of the sprinter? Force = Mass = Acceleration =

32. Check Your Answer
The acceleration of a sprinter is 10 m/s2. The force exerted on the starting blocks is 650 N. What is the mass of the sprinter? Force = 650 N Mass = 65 kg Acceleration = 10 m/s2 Mass = force ÷ acceleration Mass = 650 ÷ 10 Mass = 65

33. Practice A 56 kg cart is accelerating at 15 m/s2. Calculate the force
exerted on the cart?
Force =
Mass =
Acceleration =

34. Check Your Answer
A 56 kg cart is accelerating at 15 m/s2. Calculate the force
exerted on the cart?
Force = 840 N
Mass = 56 kg
Acceleration = 15 m/s2
Force (N) = mass (kg) x acceleration (m/s2)
Force = 56 x 15
Force = 840
