Homework Assignment #6
In this assignment you will create a stopmotion animation of a falling object.
It can be a simple as a ball bounce cycle or
(preferably) something more interesting, like a
flour sack or a water balloon.
Because you will have to pose your object at
different heights, you'll either need to suspend it
from a string or have the motion occur on the
ground with the camera positioned directly
overhead.
Homework Assignment #6
If you have a webcam, an easy way to film a stopmotion animation is to use SAM Animation
(http://www.samanimation.com/).
It's free software that runs on both Macs and PCs;
it was developed at Tufts University as part of a
National Science Foundation project for
teaching using animation.
The software is designed so that it can be used by
even elementary school children so you
shouldn't have much trouble figuring it out.
Homework Assignment #6
Homework Assignment #6
While I encourage you to help each other out, for
this assignment each person needs to create
their own animation.
Finally, describe in a brief paragraph how you
created your animation. Post your animation clip
to your blog in an entry entitled "Stop Motion
Animation of Falling.“
Due by 8am on Tuesday, September 25th
20 points (if late, 10 points)
The top three animation clips in the class will
receive a bonus of 20 extra points.
Survey Question
Do you have some experience with
creating stop-motion animation.
A) Yes
B) No

In this scene, Sean Connery jumps out the side of a
speeding car and lands on his feet.
Review Question
In this scene, Sean Connery jumps out the side of a
speeding car and lands on his feet. In reality, he would:
A) Keep moving in the same direction as the moving car.
B) Go in the opposite direction from that of the moving car.
C) Land just as he does in the movie; this was actually
done by a stuntman.
Jumping out of a Car
A) Keep moving in the same direction as the moving car
You are moving at the same speed as the car
when you jump out so you keep moving forward.
Your path
car
You’ll start losing speed after you hit the ground
so, relative to the car, you’ll fall behind as the car
continues speeding along.
Review Question
The accident-prone
Wile E Coyote walks
off a cliff carrying an
anvil.
If he lets go of the
anvil, he’ll fall:
A) Slower
B) Faster
C)At the same
speed
Wile E Coyote with Anvil
The answer is:
A)Slower
You reach terminal
speed when the force
of air resistance
balances your weight.
The less you weight, the less air resistance is
needed so the terminal speed is also lower
(lower speed
lower air resistance).
Review Question
A water-filled balloon falls much
faster than a balloon filled with air.
If the balloons are the same size,
the force of air resistance (measured
in ounces) is larger for the:
A) Air-filled balloon
B) Water-filled balloon
C) Same for both balloons
Water
Air
Balloon Drop
Because the water balloon falls
faster, the air resistance
force on a water balloon is
larger than on an air-filled
balloon of the same size.
However, a few ounces of air
resistance force is
insignificant for a water
balloon weighing several
pounds.

Creating Action
Part II
Newton’s Laws of Forces
Newton established three basic laws to explain
how motion is caused by forces:
• Law of Inertia
• Law of Acceleration
• Action-Reaction Principle
Sir Isaac Newton
The Law of Inertia explains motion without forces
(or with only balanced forces).
The Law of Acceleration explains motion with
unbalanced forces.
Demo: Spool
Pull on string wrapped around a
spool.
Force is to the right-to-left.
In what direction does the spool
move?

Forces & Path of Action
When a force is perpendicular to the path of
action then it deflects the motion into an arc.
If force is at an arbitrary angle then both
timing and path of action are affected.

More Force, More Acceleration
The greater the net force on an object, the
greater the acceleration of that object.
Simple Addition of Forces
When two forces pull in parallel directions it’s
simple to add them to get the total force.
Gravity
(Weight)
For example, if a
bubble weighs 3 oz
and air resistance is
a force of 2 oz then
the total force is 1
ounce.

Force
Air Resistance
Air Resistance on a Falling Object
Gravity force on an object
(i.e., weight) is constant but
air resistance depends on an
object’s speed.
As a falling object gains
speed, the resistance force
gets larger so the net force
decreases.
Net force is sum of:
Weight (downward)
Resistance (upward)
Net Force
100 lbs.
Net Force
20 lbs.

More Mass, Less Acceleration
The greater the mass of an object, the less it
accelerates when acted on by a force.

Speed & Acceleration
The spacing between
positions gives the

The change in the
spacings gives the

Odd Rule & Forces
The Odd Rule applies if forces are constant.

Gravity
(Weight)
Forces here are constant; the support force by the ground
balances the weight, leaving only the friction force.
Complex Path of Action
When forces are not constant
then the timing, spacing, and
path of action are complex.

Pressure & Air Resistance
Force of air resistance
is due to a difference in
pressure.
LOW PRESSURE
High pressure builds
by compression in
front of a falling object
while low pressure is
created in the wake.

Bernoulli’s Principle
Still Air
A
Wind
Where the speed of a fluid
increases the pressure in the
fluid decreases.
This phenomenon is due to
energy conservation; when
fluid’s kinetic energy increases
(velocity increases) its internal
potential energy (pressure)
decreases.

causes waves to build due to
Bernoulli’s principle.
Where is the pressure lowered?

A
Air moves fastest at the tops of the waves so pressure is lowest there.
The lower portion of the wave is blocked from the wind so air above
the water is at atmospheric pressure.
Blow the Roof
If wind blows hard
enough the low
pressure above
can create a large
enough force to lift
the roof off.

Effect of Lift
Lift requires tilt and

Lift force can also deflect
the path of action
downward, depending on

Airfoil on a race car is
an upside-down wing
that increases traction
(friction) by increasing
downward pressure.
