Motion & Forces
Speed & Velocity
• Speed - the rate of change in
position over time (distance/time)
• Instantaneous speed
• Average speed
• How is velocity different from
speed? Velocity describes both
speed and direction
Change in Velocity
What makes an object
change velocity?
Force
• Push or Pull
• Forces can cause a change
in velocity
• Examples:
Gravity
Magnetism
Friction
Balanced Forces
Forces that
– act on the same object
– are opposite in direction
– are equal in size
Balanced Forces
Book on table
1. Weight of the book
is downward force
caused by gravity
2. Table pushes back
with an equal and
opposite force
Net force is zero
Unbalanced Forces
Forces that are NOT opposite
and equal
What do they cause?
CHANGE IN VELOCITY
ACCELERATION
Friction
Force that opposes
motion between 2
surfaces
Depends on the:
• types of surfaces
• force between the
surfaces
Types of Friction
• Static Friction:
(Couch Potato)
– Force between objects at rest
• Sliding Friction:
(Ice skating)
– Solid surfaces slide over each other
• Rolling Friction:
(Rollerblading)
– An object rolls over a surface.
• Fluid friction:
(Submarine)
– An object moves through a fluid
Friction
Friction is greater...
–between rough
surfaces
–when there’s greater
force between surfaces
(such as more weight)
Lubricant
Changes sliding friction
into fluid friction
Friction
Is friction always bad?
Gravity
The attractive force
between all objects
in the universe
Acceleration of
Gravity
Near the surface of the earth the
acceleration due to gravity is 9.8
m/s/s
Newton’s
st
1
Law
An object at rest remains at
rest and an object in motion
will continue moving at a
constant velocity unless acted
on by unbalanced forces.
Newton’s Laws of
Motion
Newton’s
st
1
Law
INERTIA
• tendency of an object to resist
any change in its motion
• increases as mass increases
Newton‘s
nd
2
Law
If more force is applied, an
object will be accelerated _____
more
Newton’s
nd
2
Law
• More force means more
acceleration
• More mass means less
acceleration
Force = mass X acceleration
F = ma
Newton’s
rd
3
Law
For every action, there is an equal
and opposite reaction.
Forces occur only in pairs
– Act on different objects
– Equal and opposite
Newton’s

Law
The hammer
exerts a force on
the nail to the
right.
The nail exerts an
equal but opposite
force on the
hammer to the
left.
Momentum
Terminal Velocity
The final speed of a
falling object.
Terminal Velocity
Air resistance is
offsetting the the
weight of the
object

Force
Aristotle's idea:
For an object to move at a
constant speed, a constant
force must be applied.
Force
Newton’s idea:
An object moving at a constant speed
will continue at that speed without
additional force being applied.
