1. Chapter 10.3-10.5 8 th Grade

2. Galileo Galilei –Italian Astronomer –Suggested that once an object is in motion, no force is needed to keep it moving. Force –Needed to change the motion of the object. http://www.3m.co.uk/intl/uk//3mstreetwiseuk/pupils- force.htm

3. Newton’s 1 st Law of Motion Restates Galileo’s ideas about force and motion An object at rest will remain at rest, and an object moving at a constant velocity will continue moving at a constant velocity unless it is acted upon by an unbalanced force.

6. Newton’s 1 st Law of Motion This means that if an object is not moving, it will not move until a force acts on it. If an object is already moving, it will continue to move at a constant velocity until a force acts to change either its speed or direction. Gravity and friction are unbalanced forces that often change an object’s motion.

7. Inertia An object moving or not moving it resists any change to its motion. Inertia –The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion

8. Inertia Newton’s 1 st Law –Also called the Law of Inertia The greater mass of an object, the greater its inertia, and the greater the force needed to change its motion.

10. Newton’s 2 nd Law of Motion Acceleration –depends on the object’s MASS and the NET FORCE acting on the object. –Net force / mass –Units = Newtons (N)

11. Newton’s 2 nd Law of Motion

12. How do you increase acceleration? –Change the FORCE! If mass is constant, acceleration and force change in the same way. Decrease in mass = increase in acceleration http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44dMPz_DPu8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzvhuQ5RWJE

13. Newton’s 3 rd Law of Motion Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts a force of equal strength in the opposite direction on the first object

14. Newton’s 3 rd Law of Motion “Action-Reaction” forces Ex. When a dog leaps it pushes down on the ground. The reaction force of the ground pushes the dog into the air. Do action-reaction pairs Cancel? No! They are acting on Different objects.

15. Momentum “quantity of motion” It is the characteristic of a moving object related to the mass and velocity of the object Equation: mass x velocity Units = kg* m/s

16. Momentum The more mass an object has the more momentum it has, so the harder it is to stop the object. Ex. A car moving 20 m/s is harder to stop than a baseball moving at 20 m/s because the car has a greater mass and greater momentum.

17. Momentum Amount of momentum objects have is conserved when they collide. It can be transferred from one object to another, but none is lost. Law of conservation of momentum –The total amount of momentum of objects that interact does not change in the absence of outside forces. –Ex. Friction http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx9kiF00rts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bTdMmNZm2M

18. Determining Acceleration Word Problems 1. A speedboat pulls a 55-kg water skier. The force causes the skier to accelerate at 2.0 m/s2. Calculate the net force that causes this acceleration.

19. Determining Acceleration Word Problems 2. What is the net force on a 1,000kg object accelerating at 3m/s2?

20. Determining Acceleration Word Problems 3. What net force is needed to accelerate a 25 kg cart at 14 m/s2?

21. Determining Acceleration Word Problems 4. Find the force it would take to accelerate an 800 kg car at a rate of 5 m/s2?

22. Determining Acceleration Word Problems 5. What is the net force acting on a 0.15 kg hockey puck accelerating at a rate of 12 m.s2?

23. Momentum Word Problems Which has more momentum: a 3.0- kg sledgehammer swung at 1.5 m/s or a 4.0-kg sledgehammer swung at 0.9 m/s? Momentum = Mass X Velocity Smaller : 3.0 kg X 1.5 m/s = 4.5 kg x m/s Larger : 4.0 kg X 0.9 m/s = 3.6 kg x m/s

24. Momentum Word Problems A golf ball travels at 16 m/s, while a baseball moves at 7 m/s. The mass of the golf ball is 0.045 kg and the mass of the baseball is 0.14 kg. Which has a greater momentum? Golf Ball: 0.045 kg x 16 m/s = 0.72 kg x m/s Baseball: 0.14 kg x 7 m/s = 0.98 kg x m/s The baseball has greater momentum

25. What is the momentum of a bird with a mass of 0.018 kg flying at 15 m/s? 0.018 kg x 15 m/s = 0.27 kg x m/s

26. Momentum Word Problems What is the momentum of a 920 kg car moving at a speed of 25 m/s? 920 kg x 25 m/s = 23,000 kg x m/s

27. Momentum Word Problems Which has more momentum? A 250 kg dolphin swimming at 4 m/s or a 350 kg manatee swimming at 2 m/s? Dolphin : 250 x 4 = 1,000 kg x m/s Manatee: 350 x 2 = 700 kg x m/s The dolphin has more momentum!
