CHAPTER 2 MOTION
2
PS 10 a,b The student will investigate and understand scientific principles and technological applications of force, and motion. Key concepts include: a) speed, velocity, and acceleration b) Newton’s laws of motion

SPEED and VELOCITY Distance: how far something has moved; SI unit meters (m) Speed: the distance an object travels per unit time speed = distances = d time t Speed is measured in meters per second (m/s) Velocity: the speed of an object and the direction it travels
5
ACCELERATION Acceleration: the rate of change of velocity Unit is meters per seconds squared (m/s²) Three ways to accelerate: 1. 2. 3.

CHAPTER 3 FORCES
7
Force: a push or pull that one body exerts on another; a force can change an objects motion SI unit for force is Newtons (N)
8
INERTIA the tendency of an object to resist change in its motion an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion until acted upon by a force the greater the mass, the greater the inertia
9
NEWTON’S FIRST LAW OF MOTION an object moving at a constant velocity keeps moving at the same velocity until a net force acts on it; and if an object is at rest, it stays at rest until a net force acts on it Examples:

11
NEWTON’S SECOND LAW OF MOTION the net force acting on an object causes the object to accelerate in the direction of the net force FORMULA: force = mass x acceleration F = m x a

13
FRICTION the force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are touching each other; friction will slow down the motion of the object
14
GRAVITY Law of Gravitation: any two masses exert an attractive force on each other the strength of the gravitational force depends on: The mass of the objects The distance between the objects

16
WEIGHT the gravitational force exerted on an object by Earth measured in Newtons (N) Weight = mass x 9.8 m/s² W = m x 9.8 m/s²
