Lesson 1-4

23. Velocity changes when either the speed or the direction of motion of an object changes.
Lesson 1-4

24. Acceleration
Acceleration is a measure of how quickly the velocity of an object changes.
When the velocity of an object changes, it accelerates.
When an object’s acceleration is in the same direction as its motion, this is called positive acceleration.
The action of slowing down is called negative acceleration.
Lesson 1-5

A graph that shows how distance and time are related is a distance-time graph.

Force has both size and direction.
You can use arrows to show the size and direction of a force.
The unit for force is the newton (N).
Lesson 3-1

Lesson 3-1

65. Gravity—A Noncontact Force
Gravity is an attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass.
The size of a gravitational force depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them.
Lesson 3-2

66. Gravity—A Noncontact Force (cont.)
If the mass of an object increases, the gravitational force increases between it and another object.
Lesson 3-2

67. Gravity—A Noncontact Force (cont.)
As two objects move apart, the gravitational force between them decreases.
Lesson 3-2

68. Gravity—A Noncontact Force (cont.)

Lesson 3-2

69. Gravity—A Noncontact Force (cont.)
Weight is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object’s mass.
The weights of objects on the Moon are smaller than objects on Earth because the mass of the Moon is smaller.
Lesson 3-2

70. Friction—A Contact Force
Friction is a contact force that resists the sliding motion of two surfaces that are touching.
friction
from Latin fricare, means “to rub”
Lesson 3-3

71. Friction—A Contact Force (cont.)
The force of friction acts in the opposite direction of an object’s motion.
The heavier an object, the more it is affected by friction than a lighter one.
Air resistance is the frictional force between air and objects moving through it.
Lesson 3-3

72. Combining Forces
When more than one force acts on an object, the forces combine and act as one force.
The sum of all the forces acting on an object is called the net force.
When two forces act on the same object in opposite directions, you must include the direction of the forces when you add them to calculate net force.
Lesson 3-4

73. Combining Forces (cont.)
If the net force on an object is 0 N, the forces acting on the object are called balanced forces.
When the net force on an object is not 0 N, the forces acting on the object are unbalanced.

Lesson 3-6

80. Forces and Newton’s Laws of Motion
According to Newton’s first law of motion, if the net force acting on an object is zero, the motion of the object does not change.
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion.
Lesson 3-6

81. Forces and Newton’s Laws of Motion (cont.)
inertia
from Latin inertia, means “idle” or “inactive”
Lesson 3-6

82. Forces and Newton’s Laws of Motion (cont.)
According to Newton’s second law of motion, the acceleration of an object is equal to the net force exerted on the object divided by the object’s mass.
Lesson 3-6

83. Forces and Newton’s Laws of Motion (cont.)
The greater the mass, the greater the force needed to accelerate the object at the same rate.
What happens to the motion of an object as the unbalanced force acting on it increases?
Lesson 3-6

84. Forces and Newton’s Laws of Motion (cont.)
Newton’s third law of motion says that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
When one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts a force of the same size but in the opposite direction on the first object.
Equal and opposite forces are called force pairs.

The BIG Idea

94. Lesson 1: Describing Motion
An object’s position depends on a reference point, a distance and a direction.
An object’s motion can be described using speed, velocity, or acceleration.
Speed is how fast an object moves. Velocity describes an object’s speed and the direction it moves.
Acceleration is how fast an object’s velocity changes.
Key Concepts 1

95. Lesson 2: Graphing Motion
Motion data can be plotted as points on a graph. The line connecting the points shows changes in the motion of the object.
The line on a distance-time graph allows you to calculates an object’s speed at any moment in time. A speed-time graph helps you understand both how fast an object moves and how fast the object’s speed changes.
