  1. 3.3 Motion & Force

  2. Objectives • Explain how forces and motion are related. • Compare and contrast static friction and sliding friction. • Describe the effects of air resistance on falling objects.

  3. Force • Push or pull that one object exerts on another • Vector with size (strength of force) & direction • SI Units = Newtons (N) • Can cause the motion of an object to change • Example: hitting a tennis ball shooting pool/billiards

  4. Balanced Forces • Forces equal in size but opposite in direction • doesn’t change velocity

  5. Net Force • When 2 or more forces act on an object at the same time • Sum of all forces acting on an object

  6. Unbalanced Forces • When forces combine to produce a net force that is not zero • Forces that aren’t equal  The object moves • Changes the velocity of an object

  7. Friction • The force between two objects, in contact, that opposes the motion of either object • Unbalanced force • Why does a ball stop rolling? • Why do we have to keep applying gas to the engines in our cars to keep moving? • Better yet, why do we put oil in a car’s engine • Why do runners wear running shoes? • Why do parachutes work?

  8. Friction • Friction depends on the surfaces of the objects in contact • Smooth things tend to have less frictional force  they are more slippery • Ice, oil on concrete, my old shoes, my road bike tires • Rough things tend to have more frictional force  less slippery • Asphalt, my new running shoes, my mountain bike tires

  9. Frictional Force • Increases when the force pushing surfaces together increases • Static Friction = frictional force that prevents 2 surfaces from sliding past each other

  10. Sliding friction = force that acts in opposite direction to the motion of a surface sliding past another surface • Rolling friction = similar to sliding friction • why it is easier to move something on wheels

  11. Friction • Air Resistance is a form of friction • Caused by the interaction between an object and the air molecules it comes into contact with • The bigger the object the more air resistance • The faster the object the more air resistance

  12. Air Resistance • Causes objects to fall at different acceleration and speed • Acts in opposite direction to velocity • Air resistance not mass causes objects to fall at different rates

  15. Terminal Velocity • When an object falls with constant velocity • Upward air resistance becomes large enough to balance downward force of gravity http://www.iop.org/activity/education/Teaching_Resources/Teaching%20Advanced%20Physics/Mechanics/Images%20200/img_mid_4140.gif
