14/06/2016 Balanced and unbalanced forces Consider a camel standing on a road. What forces are acting on it? Weight Reaction These two forces would be equal – we say that they are BALANCED. The camel doesn’t move anywhere.

14/06/2016 Introduction to Forces A force is a “push” or a “pull”. Some common examples: Weight (mg) – pulls things towards the centre of the Earth Air resistance/drag – a contact force that acts against anything moving through air or liquid Upthrust – keeps things afloat _____ – a contact force that acts against anything moving

14/06/2016 Air Resistance Air resistance is a force that opposes motion through air. The quicker you travel, the bigger the air resistance: The same applies to a body falling through a liquid (called “drag” or “upthrust”).

14/06/2016 Force and momentum Newton’s second law of motion says that the force acting on an object is that object’s rate of change of momentum. In other words…  mv TF Force = Change in momentum Time (in N) (in kgm/s) (in s) For example, David Beckham takes a free kick by kicking a stationary football with a force of 40N. If the ball has a mass of 0.5kg and his foot is in contact with the ball for 0.1s calculate: 1)The change in momentum of the ball (its impulse), 2)The speed the ball moves away with Also called “impulse”

14/06/2016 Conservation of Momentum In any collision or explosion momentum is conserved (provided that there are no external forces have an effect). Example question: Two cars are racing around the M25. Car A collides with the back of car B and the cars stick together. What speed do they move at after the collision? Mass = 1000kgMass = 800kg Speed = 50ms -1 Speed = 20ms -1 Momentum before = momentum after… …so 1000 x x 20 = 1800 x V… …V = 36.7ms -1 Mass = 1800kg Speed = ??ms -1

14/06/2016 Momentum in different directions What happens if the bodies are moving in opposite directions? Speed = 50ms -1 Mass = 1000kg Speed = 20ms -1 Mass = 800kg Momentum is a VECTOR quantity, so the momentum of the second car is negative… Total momentum = 1000 x 50 – 800 x 20 = kgms -1 Speed after collision = kgms -1 / 1800 = 18.9ms -1

14/06/2016 Another example Consider the nuclear decay of Americium-241: Am α 4 2 If the new neptunium atom moves away at a speed of 5x10 5 ms -1 what was the speed of the alpha particle? Np

14/06/2016 Structure of the atom A hundred years ago people thought that the atom looked like a “plum pudding” – a sphere of positive charge with negatively charged electrons spread through it… I did an experiment (with my colleagues Geiger and Marsden) that proved this idea was wrong.

14/06/2016Isotopes An isotope is an atom with a different number of neutrons: Each isotope has 8 protons – if it didn’t then it just wouldn’t be oxygen any more. Notice that the mass number is different. How many neutrons does each isotope have? A “radioisotope” is simply an isotope that is radioactive – e.g. carbon 14, which is used in carbon dating.
