Units of MeasurementThere are different units of measurement used all around the world.

In many other countries, such as Spain, France, and Germany, meters are the basic unit of measurement, known as Metric system.

In America, we use inches and feet as our basic units of measurement, know as US Standard Units.

Scientists use the metric system as their basic units of measurement.

How Fast Do You Go?The word _____________describes how fast or how slow you go.

How do you know whether you are going fast or slow?

Slide 19 / 158

Speed

Objects with more speed can move a greater distance in a set amount of time.

That is why the fastest runner reaches the finish line first.

We have now related, or combined, two separate quantities, distance and time, to define speed.

Slide 20 / 158

Speeds & Distance

Objects with less speed move a shorter distance in a set amount of time.

That is why it takes you longer to move somewhere if you are walking instead of running.

Slide 21 / 158

Calculating SpeedEarlier we said that when distance and time are used together, they

define speed. Here is how it works mathematically.

Speed is distance divided by time.

Speed =

Moving 10 meters in 5 seconds gives you a speed of

(10 meters ÷ 5 seconds) ________ meters per second.

Forces

What is this character doing?

Slide 30 / 158

Creating ForceWhen you push or pull something, you are using a force! In fact all forces involve either a push or a pull. Force is not something you

can see or touch. It is an action.

Forces can change the direction of an object, turn things or change the shape of something.

Forces are an important part of physics and are found everywhere!

Slide 31 / 158

page4svg

Types of ForcesForces are divided into two different types:

Contact forces and Distant forces.

Contact forces occur when an object comes in contact

with another object.

Distant forces occur when two objects are not in contact

with each other.

Slide 32 / 158

Contact & Distant Forces

· Electrical Force· Magnetic Force· Gravitational Force

Can you think of an example of each of these forces?

Contact Forces Distant Forces

Slide 33 / 158

Measuring Force

By the way, where did the word Newton come from?

Similar to how we can measure distance in _________ and time in ___________, we measure force in a unit called a Newton (N).

A Newton is how much force is required to make a mass of one kilogram go faster at a rate of one meter per second.

Applied ForceApplied force is a contact force exerted on an object either by a

person or another object.

The person pushing the car along the road is applying force upon the car.

What is an example of applied force that involves pulling?

Slide 38 / 158

Motion

When you apply force by ________ or _________ on something and make it move, you are causing motion!

The harder you push or pull on something while it is moving, the more you change its motion.

More force leads to more change in speed.

Slide 39 / 158

Counteracting Motion

Imagine a ball rolling towards you. When it gets to you, you can push the ball away from you and slow it down.

If you keep pushing hard enough, you can stop the ball.

Just as applying force to an object can cause it to move, applying force to a moving object can counteract the motion, causing it to stop.

Slide 40 / 158

Limited Motion

If you kick a soccer ball, it won't travel forever. It eventually stops.

What pushes back on the ball to make it stop?

Slide 41 / 158

Friction ForceThe ball stops its motion due to a force called friction.

Friction is the force from two surfaces rubbing against each other. Friction is always present when two objects rub against one another.

Friction

Motion ofthe ballWhat two objects

are rubbing in thisexample?

Slide 42 / 158

Friction The friction force always acts against the object's motion. It always tries to slow things down.

The amount of friction depends on the texture of the surfaces. Rougher surfaces have more friction.

A hockey puck skidding across ice goes a long distance before it stops. What if you slid a hockey puck across the sidewalk?

In which case was there a smaller friction force?

Not

Slide 43 / 158

Normal ForceNormal force is the support force a stable object exerts on another

object.

When a book is sitting on a table it exerts its force down on the table. The surface of the table is exerting force upwards to support the weight of the book.

What examples of normal force do you observe around the room?

Determining Forces ImpactWe already know that a force is either a push or a pull.

When you push on a ball, it moves. But when you push on a wall, it doesn't. Why?

When you play tug of war, even though both sides are pulling, the rope only moves in one direction. Why?

Slide 48 / 158

Balanced and Unbalanced ForcesThe answer is because of balanced and unbalanced forces!

What do you think it means if a force is balanced?

What do you think it means if a force is unbalanced?

Slide 49 / 158

10 Newtons 5 Newtons

Net ForceIn order to understand balanced forces, we should first understand net force. Net force is the total force applied to an object.

Who is going to win this tug of war? How do you know?

What is the net force?

Slide 50 / 158

Calculating Net ForceForce is measured in terms of Newtons and is abbreviated with N.

1 Newton = .22 pounds-force

10 N of force is applied on the left side and 5 N of force is applied on the on the right side. The net force is (10 N - 5 N) = 5 N of force to the left.

10 Newtons 5 Newtons

The rope and the people move to the left because of the net force of 5 N to the left

Slide 51 / 158

Balanced ForcesBalanced forces are two forces, equal in size, acting in opposing directions on the same object.

When the forces on an object are balanced, the object does not move OR stays moving at a constant speed.

Each hand is pushing on the box with 5 N of force. What is the net force?

Slide 55 / 158

Balanced ForcesBalanced forces are two forces, equal in size, acting in opposing directions on the same object.

When the forces on an object are balanced, the object does not move OR stays moving at a constant speed.

Each hand is pushing on the box with 5 N of force. What is the net force?


Ans

wer The net force is zero. So the box,

if it is at rest, will not move. If it is moving before the hand push on it, it will continue moving at the same speed.


More Balanced ForcesWhen a book lies on a table, the forces on it are balanced. Gravity pulls down on it, but the table pushes up on it.

Table pushes up on the book

Gravity pulls down on the book

(gravitational force)

As a result, the book doesn't move.

Distant Forces

Electrical, magnetic and gravitational, forces are all examples of distant forces. These forces apply a force on another object

Gravitational Electrical Magnetic

Slide 65 / 158

Magnetic ForceMagnets are any object that tends to push or pull on one another and certain other objects.

The magnets create a magnetic field around themselves, and when these objects enter the field, they feel a force - without touching the actual magnet! Do magnets attract all objects?

This is a horseshoe magnet - it isa magnet bent in a U shape.

Teac

Slide 66 / 158

Magnetic Field

Magnetic fields are represented by drawn lines so we can understand how they affect objects. The arrows indicate the direction of travel of the magnetic field and how non-contact forces can push and pull objects.

Magnetic field lines

Do you ever see those lines around a magnet?

A magnetic field is the area in which a magnet can apply a push or pull force without touching the magnetic object. Magnetic objects in a magnetic field can be attracted or repelled by the magnet.

Slide 67 / 158

Visualizing Magnetic FieldsDo you ever see those lines around a magnet? Of course not! However, covering a magnet with a piece of paper and sprinkling metal filings on top of it reveals with those same lines.

Limits of Magnetic Force

The farther an object is from the center of a magnetic field, the weaker the force it feels from the field.

You might notice sometimes magnets don't work if they are far from another magnetic object.

Why are the nails at the top of the image not being pulled towards the magnet while the bottom ones are?

Slide 69 / 158

The nails at the top are far away from the magnet to be affected enough by the magnet to move. Where the upper tacks are, the field is too weak.

The tacks are too heavy for the magnetic force to make them move by pulling on them.

Magnetic Force

Slide 70 / 158

Polarity of MagnetsMagnets have a North and South pole. The magnetic field goes from the north pole to the south pole. This is why like poles repel each

other, and opposite poles attract each other!

Electric ForceThe force behind these effects is called an electric force. All objects

have a property called a charge, which can be either positive or negative.

Just like how magnets have two poles, (north pole and south pole), the two kinds of charges are called positive (+) and negative (-).

Electric force is how these charges interact with one another.Also, just like magnetic force, electric force is a non-contact force.

Charges On The MoveYou would rub the balloon on your hair and then put it next to the

wall. So what is the scientific way to explain this?

First, the friction of rubbing the balloon moved a bunch of negative charge from your hair to the balloon!

This made the balloon negatively charged.

When the balloon is placed near the wall, it pushed away the negative charges in the wall. That would leave positive charges in

the wall near the balloon.

These positive charges on the wall's surface now attract the balloon, so the balloon sticks to the wall.

Slide 87 / 158

Changing Electrical ChargesHere's another way to understand it. As you rub a balloon on your head, you are charging it by giving it negative charge. This turns the balloon into one huge negative charge.

This causes the positive charges in the wall to pull on the negative balloon and attract it to the wall!

Slide 100 / 158

Just like magnetic forces making a magnetic field, electric forces make an electric field that acts in similar ways.

Other charged objects feel the electric force through the electric field. Just like the magnetic field, you can't see the electric field. But it does tell you which way the electric force will push or pull

something.

Electric Fields

Slide 101 / 158

The area around electrically charged items look and act similar to a magnetic field. Any item that enters an electric field will feel the force because all items have an electric charge. The lines around

an electrical charge indicate the direction of the charges.

Similar Fields

Attracting Repelling

Slide 102 / 158

The strength of an electric field is directly related to its distance and size. The closer an electric field is, the stronger its effect will

Slide 109 / 158

There are contact and non-contact forces.

What are the two non-contact forces that have been covered so far?

This section will cover a third non-contact force.

The Third Force

Slide 110 / 158

This force is probably the most familiarto you. If you were to hold an apple,and then let it go, which way would it go?

Did you have to throw it to make it move?

Since it wasn't moving, and then itstarted moving - what had to be appliedto it?

Constant Force

Slide 111 / 158

page4svg

The force that caused the apple to move is called Gravitational force.

Gravitational force has been studied since ancient times. Magnetic and electric forces, however, had to wait on the development of more complex measuring techniques and equipment. It wasn't until the 17th century when their secrets started to be revealed.

Gravitational Force

Slide 112 / 158

Gravitational Pull

The cow jumps off the diving board. Initially, she goes up in the air, but the Earth is pulling on her, and she splashes into the water.

Did you also know that the cow is also pulling up on Earth?

Gravitational force occurs when two bodies physically attract each other by "pulling."

Note: The cow was not harmed - she easily paddled her way to the end of the sloping pool and went back to pasture.

Slide 113 / 158

Gravitational force is also why the moon does not move away from Earth, but revolves (goes around) it.

That last concept is a little tricky - why doesn't the moon fall towards Earth like the apple or the cow?

Holding Space Together

The moon is actually constantly falling towards the Earth! Why does it never hit Earth? More on that later.

Slide 114 / 158

Aristotle Aristotle was a great philosopher in ancient Greece who wrote about philosophy, science, logic, poetry, politics and many other things. He knew a lot!

In 350 B.C., he wrote about physics and, specifically, gravity.

Unlike scientists of today, he performed noexperiments and made no measurements - heobserved the world around him and wrotedown his thoughts of how it worked.

Why is this not a good way of doing science?

Discuss with a partner how scientists solve problems.

Slide 115 / 158

Aristotle's Observations

Observation, of course, is one of the first steps of doing science.

Thinking of why the world works like it does is next.

Next, you have to actually measure what is happening and predict something new based on the measurements and experiments.

This is the only way that you know your thoughts actually describe the world. It also leads to discoveries of new things.

Slide 116 / 158

Properties of Gravity Aristotle was interested in how the mass (weight) of an object affected how fast it fell.

He observed that heavier objects fell faster than lighter objects - so when a feather and a rock were dropped from the same height, the rock would hit first. Why?

Aristotle did not carry out any further experiments on this topic, and it wasn't until the end of the 16th century that people did experiments and found out that Aristotle was wrong!

Galileo Galilei

Galileo was one of the first people to use the scientific method where he combined observation, theory, mathematics and experimentation.

A famous experiment has been creditedto Galileo. It has been repeated by many other scientists.

It involves two towers in Pisa, Italy, and wasdesigned to see if objects of different weightfell at different speeds.

Slide 118 / 158

Leaning Tower of Pisa

In Italy, there is a tower in the town of Pisa that leans to the side. Objects were dropped from the top of the tower.

Many experiments were performed to see if heavier objects fell faster than lighter objects.

Galileo believed that if similar-sized objects with different weights were dropped at the same time from the tower they should land at the same time.

Slide 119 / 158

Falling Objects Experiment

If the weight made a difference, the tower was high enough to see a noticeable difference in how long each took to hit the ground.

Two balls of different weight (but thesame size) were taken to the tower ring. They were dropped many times. Each time, they both hit the ground at the same time.

Slide 120 / 158

Aristotle had proposed that heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones. Galileo wasn't so sure about that.

Instead of arguing, he designed an experiment. The experiment was carried out and proved Aristotle wrong.

This is the scientific method in action. Part of science is proving established theories wrong and developing new ones.

Air friction slows down lighter objects more than heavier objects and doesn't give us the expected result.

differently?

Slide 124 / 158

Did you notice anything unusual during the demonstration?

Moon Experiment Results

Both objects fell with the same speed - that's good. But the hammer fell at a much smaller speed then it would have on Earth. That is because the force of gravity on the moon is less than that on the Earth - that will be covered later in the unit.

Sir Isaac Newton

In 1687, Sir Isaac Newton published Principia, which explained nearly everything that had to do with moving objects, as well as creating advanced mathematics to solve and predict the motion of objects.

Newtons work on gravity expanded upon the ideas and theories from Galileo's experiments.

Slide 131 / 158

Newton's Discovery

Many books report that while sitting outside after dinner with a friend, Newton saw an apple fall from a tree and hit the ground and then discovered gravity.

While it may have been shocking for Newton, that's not quite true. People knew for a long time that falling objects fall down!

Slide 132 / 158

Not This

Rules of GravityWhat Newton did was to apply mathematics to the falling apple and proved why objects fall in a straight line - apples don't fall off a tree

and go in circles - they fall straight towards the center of Earth.

His equations also illustrated the strength of gravitational force. He used mathematics to explain the world around him.

Earth's Gravitational Pull

Slide 134 / 158

Earth's Gravitational ReachNewton discoveries went one tremendous step beyond apples. He made the bold statement that the same gravitational force that attracted the apple to Earth also attracted the Moon to Earth!

But how can that be? The apple hits Earth, but the Moon goesaround Earth.

Slide 135 / 158

Delicate BalanceThe Moon is constantly falling towards the center of Earth. But, the moon moving so fast in a direction perpendicular to Earth, that it moves in an ellipse around the Earth.

The combined effects of the moon's own gravitational pull and its perpendicular velocity keep the moon in orbit around the Earth.

Slide 136 / 158

Simulating an OrbitYou can simulate this motion by swinging a ball, attached to arope, above your head. You are pulling in on the ball (like gravity), but it is moving so fast, that it goes in a circle.You are acting as Earth, the rope is standing in for the gravitational force, and the ball is like the Moon.

Lab: Race to the BottomWhen items are dropped on Earth, they experience not only the force of gravity but also the frictional force of air resistance.

In this lab, put your knowledge to the test.

Can you hypothesize which item will hit the ground first?

Slide 140 / 158

Properties of the Gravitational Force

Here's what Newton said about gravity:

1. It is an attractive force between objects - and each object pulls on the other one with the same force. The force increases as either object gets bigger.

2. Every object, whether big or small, creates a gravitational field. Other objects within this field feel an attractive force.

3. The distance between the centers of the objects changes the strength of the force.

Let's look at each of these points individually.

Slide 141 / 158

Principle #1 - Attractive Force

Gravity is an attractive force between objects - and each object pulls on the other one with the same force. The force increases as either object gets bigger.

Remember, magnetic and electric forces can either attract or repel. Gravitational forces can only attract.

Slide 142 / 158

Unlike magnetic and electric fields, a gravitational field depends on the mass of the objects.

To measure a gravitational force, the object must be gigantic!

Each object pulls on the other one with the same force - this means that as Earth pulls on the apple, the apple is pulling on Earth!

So, why do you see the apple moving and not Earth?


Slide 143 / 158

The forces are exactly the same. But, Earth is so incredibly big and heavy, that the force can't budge it - at least not that we can measure.

However, the same force applied to a tiny apple, moves it quite quickly.

What would happen if everybody on Earth jumped up and then down at

the same time?

Move Earth for the answer.

Nothing! Earth is too big to even feel it.

Principle #2 - Gravitational Field

Every object, whether big or small, creates a gravitational field. Other objects within this field feel an attractive force.

Any object within Earth's gravitational field will feel an attractive force towards Earth.

However, the same can be said for the gravitational field around an ant. All objects have a gravitational field.

Slide 148 / 158

The distance between the centers of the objects changes the strength of the force.

Like magnetic and electric fields, a gravitational field decreases as distance increases between the two objects.

Gravitational force depends on distance.

Principle #3 - Force vs Distance

Fgravity = 1/4

Fgravity = 1

Fgravity = 1/9

3

In which pair is the gravitational force the smallest?

This pair is farthest apart so has the smallest gravitational force.

Slide 149 / 158

Newton understood that as the distance between two objects increased, the gravitational force between them decreased.

For two objects that are double the distance, the force is only 1/4th as strong! If the distance is tripled, the force is only 1/9th!
