Objective 4
The student will demonstrate an understanding
of motion, forces, and energy.
Transformation of Energy
• Energy comes in what forms?
– Heat, chemical, mechanical, & electrical
• Creating electricity from geothermal,
wind, burning of fossil fuels,
hydroelectric, nuclear, etc. by
changing forms
• Law of Conservation of Energy—
energy is neither created nor
destroyed, it can change forms
Transformation of Energy
• Potential
– Stored energy based on position; energy
that can do work
• Kinetic
– Energy of motion; energy doing work
On the next slide, explain where
the ball has potential and kinetic
energy. Also, where is kinetic
energy the lowest and the highest?
Newton’s Laws
• 1st – objects in motion stay in motion
at a constant velocity and objects at
rest stay at rest unless another
forces acts on it
• 2nd – F=ma
• 3rd – for every action, there is an
equal but opposite reaction
Balanced vs. Unbalanced
• Balanced forces result in…
– Objects at rest staying at rest
– Objects in motion stay in motion at a
constant velocity
• Unbalanced forced result in…
– Resting objects caused to move
– Objects in motion change their speed
and/or direction
Motion Terms
• Force A push or pull on an object;
has a size and direction
• Motion Movement; change in an
object’s position over time
• Speed Distance traveled over time;
distance divided by time
• Acceleration
Change in speed over time;
change in velocity divided by
time to make change; + (speed
up) or – (slow down)
Calculations
• A car has a mass of 900 kg. It
travels 600 m in the same direction
for 30 s at a constant speed. What
is its speed?
Speed = d/t = 600 m/30 s = 20 m/s
• What is its acceleration?
Acceleration is a change in speed;
since the car is traveling at a
“constant speed”, its acceleration
is zero.
Calculations
• A rock is thrown from a bridge 15 m
above the river with a 2.5 N force.
It has a mass of 0.5 kg. What is the
acceleration of the rock?
F = ma
25 N = 0.5 kg x a
a = 25 N / 0.5 kg
a = 50 m/s2
REMINDER
1 N = 1 kgm/s2
Calculations
• A Southwest airplane travels at a
rate of 7 km/min at a height of
18,000 m above the Earth’s surface.
How long will it take to travel from
Dallas to San Antonio which is 315 km
away?
Speed = d / t
7 km/min = 315 km / t
t = 315 km / 7 km/min
t = 45 min
Calculations
• Your classroom is 4 m by 6 m and
each desk is 1.5 m by 1 m. How much
work would you have to do to move a
desk 10 m if you apply a force of 20
N?
Work = Fd (force x distance)
Work = 20 N x 10 m
Work = 200 N·m

Waves
compression wave

Wave parts
crest
wavelength
amplitude
trough
More waves
• Number of waves that pass a given
point per unit of time is frequency
• In sound, frequency is related to
pitch
– High frequency = high pitch
– Low frequency = low pitch
Electromagnetic Waves
• Transverse waves that travel through
space; radiant energy
• The EM spectrum:
Ocean Waves
• Caused by wind
• Amplitude called “wave height”
• As waves approach the shore, wavelength
decreases and wave height increases until
it “breaks” as it nears the shoreline
Seismic Waves
•
•
•
•
Caused by earthquakes
Measured with seismographs
Move through the crust of the Earth
Primary (P), Secondary (S), and Surface
or Longitudinal (L) waves
• P-waves are fastest and move in
compressions
• L-waves are slowest and
move earth up and down

Reminders…
• Energy is not created nor destroyed; it
is only converted from one form to
another; i.e., chemical heat
mechanical electrical
• Potential energy is energy of position;
kinetic energy is energy of motion
• Forces affect motion and speed
• There are different types of waves
that travel through different media
