Forces Learning Objective 1. Describe friction and identify the factors that determine the frictional force between 2 objects.

Forces Friction Experiments Goal: Determine what 2 factors affect the frictional force between two objects. Also, determine how friction can be reduced. Hypothesis (x 3): For Part 1, determine which surface (floor or rug) will produce the greatest frictional force. For Part 2, determine how the added weight will affect the frictional force.

Make sure you ZERO the sensor before you start pushing. Repeat the procedure above with the rug. Part 2 - Add weight to the go cars and repeat Part 1.

Forces Practice Test 1 - Person shoving their friend 2 - Unbalanced forces CHANGE an object’s motion. 3 & 4 - Friction 5 - 150 N to the right (200 N – 50 N = 150 N) 6 - 50 N = Frictional Force; 300 N down = Gravitational Force ; 300 N up = Reaction force (from the action of gravity pulling downward) 7 - Shoes with lots of tread, sandpaper used in shop class, etc. 8 - Air Resistance would change; Gravity would remain the same 9 - Increase mass- Greater Grav. Pull; Lower distance- Greater Grav. Pull 10 - Any number from 1. 1 to 2. 3 (between Earth and Jupiter’s Grav. pull) 11 - Heavy objects- High Inertia and like to stay at rest more than lighter ones & are more difficult to stop moving. Seatbelts prevent your body from moving too far forward (wanting to stay in motion) when brakes are used

Forces Practice Test 12 - ½ the acceleration = ½ the force, so ½ of 20 N = 10 N 13 - F = m x a = 50 kg x 2 m/s/s = 100 N 14 - 9. 8 m/s/s 15 - 5 kg because it is lighter 16 - Action- Striking the board; Reaction- Board pushes back onto your hand. 17 - Increase the object’s velocity and mass 18 - Momentum is the same before and after (w/o friction). 19 - Friction

Forces Noggin Knockers/Hwk. (10 points- 2 pts. each) 1 - You move backwards (or away). 2 - Action force = you pushing the other person; Reaction force = the other person’s body pushes back onto you. 3 - 0 kg x m/s 4 - 0. 06 kg x m/s 5 - Dolphin because it is moving faster. Momentum of dolphin = m x v = 250 kg x 4 m/s = 1000 kg x m/s Momentum of manatee = 350 kg x 2 m/s = 700 kg x m/s

Forces Noggin Knockers & Hwk: p. 61 - 1 a, 1 b, 1 c, 2 a, 2 c, 3 a, 3 b, & 5 1 a- For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. 1 b- The reaction force is EQUAL and OPPOSITE to the action force. 1 c- You would move the direction the ball is moving. 2 a- Momentum is the mass x velocity of an object; 2 b- The momentum of a parked car is 0 kg x m/s. 2 c- Greater speeds means a greater momentum, which makes it more difficult to stop. 3 a- The total momentum is the same before and after a collision (w/o friction). 3 b- 0. 06 kg x m/s 5 - Momentum of dolphin = m x v = 250 kg x 4 m/s = 1000 kg x m/s Momentum of manatee = 350 kg x 2 m/s = 700 kg x m/s

Forces - Newton’s Third Law Calculating Momentum Practice Problem 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 the greater momentum? Golf ball: 0. 045 kg X 16 m/s = 0. 72 kg • m/s Baseball: 0. 14 kg X 7 m/s = 0. 98 kg • m/s The baseball has greater momentum.

Forces - Newton’s Third Law Calculating Momentum Practice Problem What is the momentum of a bird with a mass of 0. 018 kg flying at 15 m/s? 0. 27 kg • m/s (0. 018 kg X 15 m/s = 0. 27 kg • m/s)

Forces - Newton’s Third Law Previewing Visuals Before you read, preview Figure 18. Then write two questions that you have about the diagram in a graphic organizer like the one below. As you read, answer your questions. Conservation of Momentum Q. What happens when two moving objects collide? A. In the absence of friction, the total momentum is the same before and after the collision. Q. What is the momentum of an object? A. Its mass multiplied by its velocity

Forces - Rockets and Satellites What Is a Satellite? A projectile follows a curved path because the horizontal and vertical motions combine.

Forces - Rockets and Satellites What Is a Satellite? The faster a projectile is thrown, the father it travels before it hits the ground. A projectile with enough velocity moves in a circular orbit.

Forces - Rockets and Satellites What Is a Satellite? Depending on their uses, artificial satellites orbit at different heights.

Forces - Rockets and Satellites Identifying Main Ideas As you read the section “What Is a Satellite? ” write the main idea in a graphic organizer like the one below. Then write three supporting details that further explain the main idea. Main Idea A satellite stays in orbit due to… Detail its inertia Detail Earth’s gravity Detail Earth’s shape
