Bellringer Describe the location of a favorite place, using a reference point and reference directions. For example, “The library is at the corner of Madison Street and Monroe Street. It is two blocks west of the school and four blocks north of the bus stop.”  Write your response in your  Science Journal. Section 1  Measuring Motion Chapter 12
What You Will Learn Properties used to describe the motion of an object include a reference point, direction, speed, velocity, and acceleration. Average speed can be calculated by dividing total distance by total time. A change in velocity is due to a change in speed, direction, or both. Speed and acceleration can be represented on graphs. Section 1  Measuring Motion Chapter 12
Motion and Reference Points An object is in  motion  if it changes position over time in relation to a reference point.  A  reference point  is any object that appears to stay in place. Features on Earth’s surface are often used as standard reference points. Section 1  Measuring Motion Chapter 12
Motion and Reference Points , continued Reference directions—such as north, south, east, west, up, or down—can be used to describe the direction of an object’s motion. A grid can be used to describe motion in a two-dimensional system. Section 1  Measuring Motion Chapter 12
Average Speed The speed of an object is the rate at which the object moves.  The speed of an object is rarely constant. So, it is useful to find the average speed of an object. Section 1  Measuring Motion Chapter 12
Average Speed , continued Average speed  is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken. A graph of position versus time can show an object’s speed. On a graph of position versus time, the slope of the line is equal to the speed of the object. Section 1  Measuring Motion Chapter 12
Velocity: Direction Matters Velocity  is the speed of an object in a particular direction. Velocity and speed do not have the same meaning.  Velocity must include a direction. Section 1  Measuring Motion Chapter 12
Velocity: Direction Matters , continued The velocity of an object is constant only if the speed and direction of the object do not change. So, constant velocity is always motion along a straight line. The velocity of an object changes if the object’s speed, direction, or both change. Section 1  Measuring Motion Chapter 12
Velocity Matter in Motion Chapter 12
Acceleration Acceleration  is the rate at which velocity changes over time.  An object can accelerate by changing speed, direction, or both. The units for acceleration are the units for velocity divided by a unit for time, usually meters per second per second, or (m/s)/s, which is also written as m/s 2 . Section 1  Measuring Motion Chapter 12
Acceleration Matter in Motion Chapter 12
Acceleration , continued Centripetal acceleration  occurs when an object moves at a constant speed in circular motion. A graph of speed versus time can show positive acceleration, no acceleration, and negative acceleration. Section 1  Measuring Motion Chapter 12
Matter in Motion Chapter 12
Bellringer A force is a push or a pull on an object. Imagine that you are trying to push a box up a ramp. Describe as many forces (pushes and pulls) as you can in that situation. Be sure to include the direction of each force (push or pull) in your description. Write your answers in your  Science Journal. Section 2  What Is a Force? Chapter 12
What You Will Learn A force is a push or a pull that acts on an object. Forces have magnitude and direction. Net force is the combined effect of two or more forces acting on an object. Balanced forces do not cause changes in motion. Unbalanced forces cause changes in an object’s velocity. Section 2  What Is a Force? Chapter 12
Forces Acting on Objects A  force  is a push or a pull exerted on an object in order to change the motion of the object. All forces have two properties: direction and magnitude, or size. Forces can cause acceleration. Section 2  What Is a Force? Chapter 12
Forces Acting on Objects , continued Forces always act on objects. For any push to occur, something has to receive the push. A  newton  (N) is the SI unit used to describe the magnitude, or size, of a force. A force can act on an object without causing the object to move. Section 2  What Is a Force? Chapter 12
Force Matter in Motion Chapter 12
Combined Effect of Forces The  net force  is the combination of all the forces acting on an object. When forces act in the same direction, you add the forces to determine the net force. When two forces act in opposite directions, you subtract the smaller force from the larger force to determine the net force. Section 2  What Is a Force? Chapter 12
Matter in Motion Chapter 12
Balanced Forces: No Change in Motion When the forces on an object produce a net force of 0 N, the forces are  balanced.   Balanced forces do not cause a change in the motion of an object. Section 2  What Is a Force? Chapter 12
Balanced Forces: No Change in Motion , continued Objects that are not moving and have balanced forces acting on them are called  static  objects. Tension and compression are two forces that often act on static objects. Section 2  What Is a Force? Chapter 12
Balanced Forces: No Change in Motion , continued Tension  is a force that is exerted when matter is pulled or stretched. Compression  is a force that is exerted when matter is pushed or squeezed. Section 2  What Is a Force? Chapter 12
Unbalanced Forces: Velocity Changes When the net force on an object is not 0 N, the forces on the object are  unbalanced.   Unbalanced forces cause a change in the velocity of an object. Section 2  What Is a Force? Chapter 12
Unbalanced Forces: Velocity Changes , continued Unbalanced forces are needed to cause static objects to start moving. Objects do not always move in the direction of the unbalanced force. Section 2  What Is a Force? Chapter 12
Bellringer Imagine that you are trying to push a heavy desk across the floor. There are two opposing forces on the desk: the force you apply, and the force of friction between the desk and the floor. What will happen if the force of friction is the same magnitude as the force that you apply? What will happen if the force that you apply is greater than the force of friction? Write your answers in your  Science Journal. Section 3  Friction: A Force That Opposes Motion Chapter 12
What You Will Learn The magnitude of the force of friction can vary. Kinetic friction is a force that, when unbalanced, can change the velocity of a moving object. Static friction balances an applied force and can prevent motion. Friction can be both harmful and helpful. Section 3  Friction: A Force That Opposes Motion Chapter 12
The Source of Friction When the hills and valleys of one surface stick to the hills and valleys of another surface, friction is created. Friction  is a force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are touching. Section 3  Friction: A Force That Opposes Motion Chapter 12
The Source of Friction , continued As the force pushing surfaces together increases, the friction between the surfaces increases. Friction is usually greater between materials that have rough surfaces than it is between materials that have smooth surfaces. Section 3  Friction: A Force That Opposes Motion Chapter 12
Matter in Motion Chapter 12
Types of Friction There are two types of friction:  kinetic friction  and  static friction. Kinetic friction is friction between moving surfaces.  The force of sliding kinetic friction is greater than the force of rolling kinetic friction. Section 3  Friction: A Force That Opposes Motion Chapter 12
Types of Friction , continued Static friction can balance an applied force and can prevent changes in motion. Some static objects do not move because the force of static friction balances the other forces acting on the object. Section 3  Friction: A Force That Opposes Motion Chapter 12
Matter in Motion Chapter 12
Friction: Harmful and Helpful Because friction can be both harmful and helpful, sometimes it should be decreased and sometimes it should be increased. Lubricants  are substances that are put on surfaces to decrease friction between the surfaces. Some examples of lubricants include motor oil, wax, and grease. Section 3  Friction: A Force That Opposes Motion Chapter 12
Friction: Harmful and Helpful , continued Harmful friction can be decreased by using lubricants or by smoothing the surfaces that rub against each other. Helpful friction can be increased by making the surfaces that rub against each other rougher or by increasing the force pushing surfaces together.
