21. VII. Gravity & Motion 3. PROJECTILE MOTION - is motion of a thrown object. Two forces act on it. One is the force of the throwing motion (horizonal) and the other is the force of gravity (vertical) 3. PROJECTILE MOTION - is motion of a thrown object. Two forces act on it. One is the force of the throwing motion (horizonal) and the other is the force of gravity (vertical)

22. Orbiting objects Objects in orbit are in projectile motion

24. VIII. Elastic Forces Matter is elastic if it returns to its original shape after being squeezed or stretched Matter is elastic if it returns to its original shape after being squeezed or stretched Compression is the elastic force when an object is pushed together. Compression is the elastic force when an object is pushed together. Tension- is the elastic force that stretches or pulls an object Tension- is the elastic force that stretches or pulls an object

25. IX. Newton’s Laws Isaac Newton (1642-1727) described 3 important laws that help us understand forces. These laws seem simple and obvious to us and we tend to take them for granted. Almost every aspect of our lives involves one or more of them. Isaac Newton (1642-1727) described 3 important laws that help us understand forces. These laws seem simple and obvious to us and we tend to take them for granted. Almost every aspect of our lives involves one or more of them.

26. Newton’s 1 st Law of Motion: An object will remain at rest or moving at a constant velocity unless it is acted upon by an unbalanced force An object will remain at rest or moving at a constant velocity unless it is acted upon by an unbalanced force

28. Newton’s 1 st Law of Motion: “An object in motion will stay in motion, an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.” “An object in motion will stay in motion, an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.”

29. Newton’s 1 st Law of Motion: 1. An unbalanced force will cause an object to speed up, slow down or change direction 1. An unbalanced force will cause an object to speed up, slow down or change direction 2. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion 2. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion

30. Newton’s 1 st Law of Motion: 3. Inertia depends on the mass of an object. 3. Inertia depends on the mass of an object. The greater the mass, the greater the inertia and the greater the force required to change the motion. The greater the mass, the greater the inertia and the greater the force required to change the motion.

31. Newton’s 2 nd Law of Motion: Acceleration depends on the net force acting on the object and the object’s mass Acceleration depends on the net force acting on the object and the object’s mass

32. Newton’s 2 nd Law of Motion: “When a force is applied to an object, the object accelerates in the direction of the applied force. The acceleration is less when the mass of the object is greater.” “When a force is applied to an object, the object accelerates in the direction of the applied force. The acceleration is less when the mass of the object is greater.”

34. Newton’s 2 nd Law of Motion: Net force = mass Net force = massAcceleration OR net force = mass X acceleration OR net force = mass X acceleration ex: Think of kicking a football and a rock the size of a football. You would need a lot more force to move the rock the same distance as the football.

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

36. Newton’s 3 rd Law of Motion: “For every force (action) there is an equal and opposite force (reaction). If you push or pull on an object, the object will push or pull back with equal and opposite force.” “For every force (action) there is an equal and opposite force (reaction). If you push or pull on an object, the object will push or pull back with equal and opposite force.”

38. X. Momentum A. depends on mass and velocity A. depends on mass and velocity B. Momentum is described by size and direction B. Momentum is described by size and direction C. Momentum = mass X velocity C. Momentum = mass X velocity D. The more momentum an object has the harder it is to change it’s velocity D. The more momentum an object has the harder it is to change it’s velocity

39. XI. Conservation of Momentum the total momentum of a group of objects stays the same, or is conserved, unless outside forces act on the objects

40. XI. Conservation of Momentum A. Collisions of 2 moving objects – the momentum of one object decreases and the momentum of the other object will increase A. Collisions of 2 moving objects – the momentum of one object decreases and the momentum of the other object will increase B. Collision of 1 moving object (with a stationary object)– the momentum of the moving object is transferred to the other object B. Collision of 1 moving object (with a stationary object)– the momentum of the moving object is transferred to the other object
