Title: MOTION, FORCES
1MOTION, FORCES ENERGY
2IPC (4) The student knows the concepts of force
and motion evidence in everyday life.
- (A) The student is expected to calculate speed,
momentum, acceleration, work and power in systems
such as in the human body, moving toys and
machines.
3SPEED / VELOCITY
- To calculate speed/velocity (s), we need
- 1. Distance traveled (d) in meters (m)
- 2. Time (t) in seconds (s)
- Our formula is
- Speed distance traveled s d
- time t
- The units for speed are usually m/s.
THIS IS ON YOUR FORMULA SHEET!
4Problem 1 speed / velocity
- A car traveled 150 km in 2.5 hours. What was its
average speed in km per hour? - Identify the information given (look at units)
d150 km, t2.5 hrs - Select the formula sd/t
- Plug in the numbers and solve
- s 150km / 2.5 hrs
- Use the calculator to obtain an answer with
correct units s 60 km/hr
5Problem 2speed / velocity
- The diagram represents the total travel of a
teacher on a Saturday. Which part of the trip is
made at the greatest average speed?
This problem requires four steps. We need to
calculate the speed for each part of the trip. s
(Q) 14/12 1.2 km/min s (R) 12/8
1.5 km/min s (S) 15/9 1.7 km/min
s (T) 11/15 0.7 km/min The part with the
greatest average speed is S (1.7 km/min).
6Problem 3 speed GRAPHSThe slope of a
distance-time graph is the speed.
The graph shows the distance traveled by
a vehicle over a certain period of time.
Which segment of the graph shows the
vehicle moving with the greatest speed? On a
speed graph, the part of a line with the
steepest slope has the greatest speed. ANS
L Which segment represents the vehicle at
rest? At rest means the speed is zero. A line
with a slope of 0 is horizontal.
7MOMENTUM
- Momentum measures how much force is necessary to
stop an object from moving. - The heavier and/or faster an object is, the more
momentum it has.
large mass large velocity large momentum
small mass small velocity small momentum
8MOMENTUM
- To calculate momentum (p), we need
- 1. Mass (m) in kilograms (kg)
- 2. Velocity (v) in meters per second (m/s)
- Our formula is
- Momentum mass x velocity
-
- p mv
- So the units for momentum are kg?m/s.
THIS IS ON YOUR FORMULA SHEET!
9Problem 4 momentum
Car velocity 6.3 m/s Driver velocity 6.3
m/s Driver mass 100 kg
Car velocity 0 m/s Driver velocity 6.3
m/s Driver mass 100 kg
Car velocity 0 m/s Driver velocity 0
m/s Driver mass 100 kg
- The pictures show how an air bag functions in a
collision. How much momentum in kg?m/s does the
airbag absorb from the crash-test dummy if all
the crash-test dummys momentum is absorbed by
the air bag? - p mv 100 kg (6.3 m/s) 630 kg?m/s
10Problem 5 momentum
- Which bike rider has the greatest momentum?
- A. A 40 kg person riding at 45 km/h
- p mv 40 kg (45 km/h) 1800 kg?m/s
- B. A 50 kg person riding at 35 km/h
- p 50 kg (35 km/h) 1750 kg?m/s
- C. A 60 kg person riding at 25 km/h
- p 60 kg (25 km/h) 1500 kg?m/s
- D. A 70 kg person riding at 15 km/h
- p 70 kg (15 km/h) 1050 kg?m/s
11ACCELERATION
- To calculate acceleration (a), we need
- 1. Initial and final velocities (VF VI) in
meters per second (m/s) - 2. Change in time (?t) in seconds (s)
- Our formula is
- Acceleration Final v Initial v / change in
time -
- a vF-vI / ?t
- So the units for acceleration are m/s2.
THIS IS ON YOUR FORMULA SHEET!
12Problem 6 acceleration
- According to this graph, what was the bicycles
acceleration between 10 and 12.5 seconds? - At 10 s, vI is 6.5 m/s.
- At 12.5 s, vF is 8.5 m/s.
- ?t 12.5 s -10 s 2.5 s
- a vF vI / ?t
- 8.5 m/s 6.5 m/s / 2.5 s
- a 0.8 m/s2
13WORK
- To calculate work (W), we need
- 1. Force (f) in Newtons (N)
- 2. Distance (d) in meters (m)
- Our formula is
- Work force x distance
-
- W fd
- So the units for work are N?m or Joules (J).
THIS IS ON YOUR FORMULA SHEET!
14POWER
- To calculate power (P), we need
- 1. Work (W) in Joules (J)
- 2. Time (t) in seconds (s)
- Our formula is
- Power work / time
-
- P w / t
- So the units for power are J/s or Watts (W).
THIS IS ON YOUR FORMULA SHEET!
15Problem 7 work power
- The weight lifter used a force of 980 N to raise
the barbell over her head in 5.21 seconds.
Approximately how much work did she do in raising
the barbell? - W Fd 980 N (5.21 s) 5106 J
- How much power did she have?
- P W / t
- 5106 J / 5.21 s
- P 980 W
16Problem 8 work power
- If a force of 100 newtons was exerted on an
object and no work was done, the object must have
- A. accelerated rapidly
- B. remained motionless
- C. decreased its velocity
- D. gained momentum
17Problem 9 work power
- A horizontal force of 600 N is used to push a box
8 m across a room. Which of these variables must
be known to determine the power used in moving
the box? - A. The weight of the box
- B. The potential energy of the box
- C. The time it takes to move the box
- D. The length of the box
18FORCES
- The overall force on an object is called the net
force. An object will accelerate when there is a
net force acting on it. - Friction is the name given to the force that acts
between materials that are in contact and moving
past each other. - Air resistance is friction between objects and
the air. - Gravity is the force that gives an object its
weight, pulling it toward the center of the earth
at an acceleration of 9.8 m/s2.
19Newtons 1ST Law
- An object at rest will stay at rest and an object
in motion will continue that motion - (this is called INERTIA)
- unless an unbalanced force acts on it.
If you are in an accident and arent wearing a
safety belt
you would continue your motion
Do not let this happen to you buckle up!
20Newtons 2ND Law
- The unbalanced force acting on an object equals
its mass times its acceleration. - Force mass x acceleration
- Ex A filled wheelbarrow requires more
force to move than an empty one. - The acceleration of a golf ball
times its mass is equal to the force with
which its hit.
21Newtons 3RD Law
Action / Reaction
For every action there is an equal and opposite
reaction.
What is the action? What is the reaction?

The rocket is pushed upward by gases.
22Problem 10 Forces
- A catapult was designed to project a small
metal ball at a target. The resulting data
are shown in the table. Which of
these might explain the difference
between the calculated and actual
distances? - A The ball landed short of the calculated
distance because of an increase in - momentum.
- B Air resistance caused the ball to land short
of the calculated distance. - C Initial mass of the ball changed with each
- trial.
- D The metal ball was too small for accurate
- measurements to be made.
23Problem 11 Forces
- After shooting a cannonball, a cannon
- recoils with a much lower velocity than
- the cannonball. This is primarily
- because, compared to the cannonball,
- the cannon has a
- A. much greater mass
- B. smaller amount of momentum
- C. greater kinetic energy
- D. smaller force applied to it
24Problem 12 Forces
The frog leaps from its resting position at the
lakes bank onto a lily pad. If the frog has a
mass of 0.5 kg and the acceleration of the leap
is 3 m/s2, what is the force the frog exerts on
the lakes bank when leaping? According to
Newtons 2nd Law, F ma F (0.5 kg)(3
m/s2) F 1.5 N
25Problem 13 Forces
- The illustration to the right shows a student
about to throw a ball while standing on a
skateboard. Which illustration below correctly
shows the skateboards direction of motion after
the student releases the ball?
26Machines
- Pulley a rope around a grooved wheel. Used to
change the direction of the force applied to it. - Ex flagpole, block tackle
- Lever a bar that pivots around a fixed
point (fulcrum). - Generally, the farther the effort (input) force
is away from the fulcrum, and the closer the load
is to the fulcrum, the easier it is to lift an
object.
27Machines
- Remember! Machines do not reduce the amount of
work done they only change the amount of force,
the distance, the direction or the speed. - The efficiency of a machine tells us the of
work put into the machine that is useful. You can
never get more work out of a machine than you put
into it! (Efficiency can never be gt 100)
28Problem 14 machines
- Which lever arrangement requires the least effort
force to raise a 500 N resistance?
29Problem 15 machines
- What is the efficiency of an air conditioner if
there is a work input of 320 J and a work output
of 80 J? - work output (WO) 80 J
- work input (WI) 320 J
- EFF WO x 100 80 J x 100 25
- WI 320 J
