3. Force A force is a Push or a Pull Net force: All forces on an object.
A NET force can change the motion of an object.
Net force: All forces on an object.
Unit: Netwons (N)  Kgm/s2

4. There are 3 ways a Net Force can affect the motion of an object.
A Net Force ACCELERATES an object… which means it can make an object…
Speed Up
Slow Down
Change Direction

Equilibrium
The forces on an object add to zero.
Fnet = 0
The forces on the object are “balanced”
An object in equilibrium can:
Not move (motionless)
Move with a constant velocity

7. Define Force, Net Force and Equilibrium.

12. “Inertia” “An object at rest will stay at rest and
1. What is Newton’s 1st Law of Motion? List at least one example of the 1st Law shown in class.
“Inertia”
“An object at rest will stay at rest
and
An object in constant velocity motion will stay in constant velocity motion
Unless acted on by an unbalanced force.”
Examples:
Tablecloth trick Hoop/Nuts
Boy on Skateboard Guy on Bus
Car Accidents (Seatbelts) Ball in Truck

13. F=ma “The acceleration of an object is
2. What is Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion ? List at least one example of the 2nd Law shown in class.
F=ma
“The acceleration of an object is
directly proportional to the force applied to object.
The acceleration of an object is
inversely proportional to the object’s mass”
Examples:
Skateboarders
Basketball and Tennis Ball
Heavy and Light Carts
Earth and Object

14. 3. What is Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion
3. What is Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion? List at least one example of the 3rd Law shown in class.
Action/Reaction “For every force applied to an object, the object applies an equal and opposite force back.”
Examples:
Balloon Rocket Walking
“Pushing off table” Newton’s Cradle
Punching A Face

15. 4. What happens when a cart with a big mass and a cart with a small mass are pushed with the same force?
The objects pushed off each other
With equal and opposite forces
And both moved back, the one with less mass faster.
The cart with more mass accelerates less,
the cart with less mass accelerates more!
Newton’s 2nd Law states: acceleration and mass are inversely proportional
More mass, less acceleration.
Less mass, more acceleration.

16. 5. What happens if a person is moving in a car and then the car suddenly stops?
When the car suddenly stops the person continues moving.
According to Newton’s 1st Law an object in motion will stay in motion unless an outside force is applied.
There was a force on the car, so the car stops. But there is no force on the person, so they continued moving.

17. 6. What happens when a balloon filled with air is released?
When released…
The balloon moved forward
And the air moved backwards.
The balloon pushed the air out (action)
So the air pushed the balloon too (reaction)
Newton’s 3rd Law states: for every force put on an object [the action], that objects puts an equal and opposite force back [the reaction].

18. Action-Reaction Pairs
The air molecules
push the flag.
The Earth pulls a ball down.
I push the chair forward.
The chair pushes me backwards.
The flag pushes
the air molecules
The ball pulls the Earth up.
With equal and opposite force!!!!

19. A. E. S. Look at the data table below
A.E.S. Look at the data table below. What factor affects the acceleration of an object?
Object
Force (F) N
Mass (m) kg
Acceleration (a)
m/s2
Round Ball
100 50 2
Box 15 7
Rubber Ducky 4 25

20. Look at the data table below
Look at the data table below. What factor affects the acceleration of an object?
The mass of the object affects it’s acceleration.
According to Newton’s 2nd Law mass and acceleration are inversely proportional.
The object with greater mass of 50kg had the smallest acceleration of 2m/s2. While the object with the smallest mass of 4kg had the greatest acceleration 25m/s2.

21. A.E.S. A girl at a roller rink was trying to skate so she “pushed herself off the table” to begin moving backwards. Why is it wrong to say “she pushed herself off the table”?

22. A girl at a roller rink was trying to skate so she “pushed herself off the table” to begin moving backwards. Why is it wrong to say “she pushed herself off the table”?
It is wrong to say “she pushed herself off the table” because she pushed the table, not herself.
According to Newton’s 3rd Law, for every force applied to an object the object applies an equal and opposite force back.
In this case the girl pushed the table and the table pushed her back. This is why she moved.

23. A. E. S. A truck is driving with passengers in the bed of the truck
A.E.S. A truck is driving with passengers in the bed of the truck. When the truck stops quickly do the people “fly out” because they get pushed forward?

24. A truck is driving with passengers in the bed of the truck
A truck is driving with passengers in the bed of the truck. When the truck stops quickly do the people “fly out” because they get pushed forward?
No, the people do not get pushed forward.
According to Newton’s 1st law, an object in constant velocity motion will stay in constant velocity motion unless acted on by an outside force.
The truck and the people were moving but only the truck had a force on it, so it stopped. There was no force on the people so they CONTINUED to move forward … they were not pushed forward.

27. Solve using the Problem Solving Steps.
What is the weight of a 60kg woman on Earth?
Fw = mg
Fw = (60kg)(9.8m/s2)
Fw = 588 kgm/s2
Fw = 588N
Fw = ?

600 N = (200kg) x (a)
600 kgm/s2 = (200 kg)(a)
200kg kg
3m/s2 = a

31. Solve using the Problem Solving Steps.
What is the acceleration of a 30kg toy car if it is pushed forward with a force of 78N forward and friction applies a backwards force of 18N?
FNet=F1+F2
FNet= 78N + (-18N)
FNet= 60N
Fnet = ?
F1 = 78N
F2 = -18N
