Forces and Acceleration Review Forces, Motion, and Acceleration Investigation 5, 7, and 9 LT ––– 1 ––– I can use data to show what happens when a constantconstant net force is applied to an object. 1. What would a graph showing balanced forces look like? Draw a position vs. time Graph and a velocity vs. time graph that show balanced forces . (Constant motion) When forces are balanced, the motion is constant so the position vs. time graph can be drawn with a horizontal line (standing still) or with a straight diagonal line (constant motion). The velocity vs. time graph can be only a horizontal straight line (constant velocity). 2. What would a graph showing unbalanced forces (net force) look like? Draw a Position vs. time graph and a velocity vs. time graph that shows unbalanced forces.orces. The position vs. time graph should begin at zero and curve up to the right. (speeding up). The velocity vs. time graph should be a straight diagonal line going up to the right (speeding up). Your graphs could also show slowing down and be “unbalanced forces”. 3. Draw a sketch of a position vs. time graph and a velocity vs. time graph that shows the motion of a wheeled cart when a constant net force is applied. These two graphs will look just like the graphs you sketched in number 2. 4. Assume that the graphs you just sketched represent the motion of a wheeled cart that has one fan providing the constant net force. On the graphs below, draw three lines: one representing a one-fan cart, one representing a two-fan cart, and one representing a three-fan cart. (Assume mass is constant). Your postion vs. time graph should have three curved lines with the shape in question 2. The least steep line represents 1 fan and the steepest line represents 3 fans. The velocity vs. time graph will have three straight diagonal lines. The steepest represents 3 fans and the least steep line represents only 1 fan. 5. When net force doubles, what happens to acceleration? It doubles 6. When net force is halved, what happens to acceleration? It is halved. 7. Draw 2 position vs. time graphs and 1 velocity vs. time graph that would show unbalanced forces. Draw graphs that show speeding up and slowing down. 8. Describe in words, the motion of a wheeled cart when a constant net force is applied. The wheeled cart will accelerate (speed up) LT ---2-2 ––– I can use proportional relationships to make predicpredictionstions about force and acceleration. 9. Describe the relationship between net force and acceleration when mass is held constant. The relationship is directly proportional. This means when net force increases so does acceleration. When net force decreases so does acceleration. 10. A. Calculate the acceleration. B. Graph the line of Fn (net force) and A (acceleration). C. Name the relationship.

Define directly proportional. What does a directly proportional relationship look like on a graph? Give an example of this type of relationship. Directly proportional means when one value goes up the other value goes up by a constant ratio. (Double the net force and the acceleration doubles). When one value goes down, the other value goes down. LTLTLT-LT ---33 --- I can describe the relationship between mass and acac celeration of an object subjected to a constant net force. 12. Describe the relationship between mass and acceleration when the net force is held constant. When one value goes up, the other goes down by its reciprocal. For example, when mass doubles, the acceleration is cut in half. 13. Describe how this relationship looks on a graph. On a graph, an inversely proportional relationship will form a curve. The line will begin high on the y axis and will then move down to the right. 14. A. Calculate the acceleration. B. Graph the line for mass and acceleration. C.

Will the semi exert a greater force on the compact car, or will the compact car exert a greater force on the truck, or will they exert an equal force when they collide? Explain. The forces would be equal. Newton’s 3 rdrdrd Law says for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. 30. The earth and moon are attracted to each other by gravitational force.

  • Unit 1: Motion
    Macomb Intermediate School District High School Science Power Standards Document Physics The Michigan High School Science Content Expectations establish what every student is expected to know and be able to do by the end of high school. They also outline the parameters for receiving high school credit as dictated by state law. To aid teachers and administrators in meeting these expectations the Macomb ISD has undertaken the task of identifying those content expectations which can be considered power standards. The critical characteristics1 for selecting a power standard are: • Endurance – knowledge and skills of value beyond a single test date. • Leverage - knowledge and skills that will be of value in multiple disciplines. • Readiness - knowledge and skills necessary for the next level of learning. The selection of power standards is not intended to relieve teachers of the responsibility for teaching all content expectations. Rather, it gives the school district a common focus and acts as a safety net of standards that all students must learn prior to leaving their current level. The following document utilizes the unit design including the big ideas and real world contexts, as developed in the science companion documents for the Michigan High School Science Content Expectations. 1 Dr. Douglas Reeves, Center for Performance Assessment Unit 1: Motion Big Ideas The motion of an object may be described using a) motion diagrams, b) data, c) graphs, and d) mathematical functions. Conceptual Understandings A comparison can be made of the motion of a person attempting to walk at a constant velocity down a sidewalk to the motion of a person attempting to walk in a straight line with a constant acceleration.

  • Newton's Second
    Newton's Second Law INTRODUCTION Sir Isaac Newton1 put forth many important ideas in his famous book The Principia. His three laws of motion are the best known of these. The first law seems to be at odds with our everyday experience. Newton's first law states that any object at rest that is not acted upon by outside forces will remain at rest, and that any object in motion not acted upon by outside forces will continue its motion in a straight line at a constant velocity. If we roll a ball across the floor, we know that it will eventually come to a stop, seemingly contradicting the First Law. Our experience seems to agree with Aristotle's2 idea, that the \impetus"3 given to the ball is used up as it rolls. But Aristotle was wrong, as is our first impression of the ball's motion. The key is that the ball does experience an outside force, i.e., friction, as it rolls across the floor. This force causes the ball to decelerate (that is, it has a \negative" acceleration). According to Newton's second law an object will accelerate in the direction of the net force. Since the force of friction is opposite to the direction of travel, this acceleration causes the object to slow its forward motion, and eventually stop. The purpose of this laboratory exercise is to verify Newton's second law. DISCUSSION OF PRINCIPLES Newton's second law in vector form is X F~ = m~a or F~net = m~a (1) This force causes the ball rolling on the floor to decelerate (that is, it has a \negative" accelera- tion).

  • Rolling Rolling Condition for Rolling Without Slipping
    Rolling Rolling simulation We can view rolling motion as a superposition of pure rotation and pure translation. Pure rotation Pure translation Rolling +rω +rω v Rolling ω ω v -rω +=v -rω v For rolling without slipping, the net instantaneous velocity at the bottom of the wheel is zero. To achieve this condition, 0 = vnet = translational velocity + tangential velocity due to rotation. In other wards, v – rω = 0. When v = rω (i.e., rolling without slipping applies), the tangential velocity at the top of the wheel is twice the 1 translational velocity of the wheel (= v + rω = 2v). 2 Condition for Rolling Without Big yo-yo Slipping A large yo-yo stands on a table.

Balanced Forces A balanced force is when all the forces acting on an object are equal (net force is zero) • Balanced forces do not cause a change in motion. How Can Balanced Forces Affect Objects? • Cause the shape of an object to change without changing its motion • Cause an object at rest to stay at rest or an object in motion to stay in motion (inertia) • Cause an object moving at a constant speed to continue at a constant speed What is an example of a balanced force? Unbalanced Forces An unbalanced force is when all the forces acting on an object are not equal • The forces can be in the same direction or in opposite directions. • Unbalanced forces cause a change in motion. How Can Unbalanced Forces Affect Objects? • Acceleration is caused by unbalanced forces: – slow down – speed up – stop – start – change direction – change shape What is an example of a unbalanced force? Net Force The Net force is he total of all forces acting on an object: – Forces in the same direction are added.

  • 1 Vectors: Geometric Approach
    c F. Waleffe, 2008/09/01 Vectors These are compact lecture notes for Math 321 at UW-Madison. Read them carefully, ideally before the lecture, and complete with your own class notes and pictures. Skipping the `theory' and jumping directly to the exercises is a tried-and-failed strategy that only leads to the typical question `I have no idea how to get started'. There are many explicit and implicit exercises within the text that complement the `theory'. Many of the `proofs' are actually good `solved exercises.' The objectives are to review the key concepts, emphasizing geometric understanding and visualization. 1 Vectors: Geometric Approach What's a vector? in elementary calculus and linear algebra you probably defined vectors as a list of numbers such as ~x = (4; 2; 5) with special algebraic manipulations rules, but in elementary physics vectors were probably defined as `quantities that have both a magnitude and a direction such as displacements, velocities and forces' as opposed to scalars, such as mass, temperature and pressure, which only have magnitude. We begin with the latter point of view because the algebraic version hides geometric issues that are important to physics, namely that physical laws are invariant under a change of coordinates - they do not depend on our particular choice of coordinates - and there is no special system of coordinates, everything is relative. Our other motivation is that to truly understand vectors, and math in general, you have to be able to visualize the concepts, so rather than developing the geometric interpretation as an after-thought, we start with it.

  • 5 | Newton's Laws of Motion 207 5 | NEWTON's LAWS of MOTION
    Chapter 5 | Newton's Laws of Motion 207 5 | NEWTON'S LAWS OF MOTION Figure 5.1 The Golden Gate Bridge, one of the greatest works of modern engineering, was the longest suspension bridge in the world in the year it opened, 1937. It is still among the 10 longest suspension bridges as of this writing. In designing and building a bridge, what physics must we consider? What forces act on the bridge? What forces keep the bridge from falling? How do the towers, cables, and ground interact to maintain stability? Chapter Outline 5.1 Forces 5.2 Newton's First Law 5.3 Newton's Second Law 5.4 Mass and Weight 5.5 Newton’s Third Law 5.6 Common Forces 5.7 Drawing Free-Body Diagrams Introduction When you drive across a bridge, you expect it to remain stable. You also expect to speed up or slow your car in response to traffic changes. In both cases, you deal with forces. The forces on the bridge are in equilibrium, so it stays in place. In contrast, the force produced by your car engine causes a change in motion. Isaac Newton discovered the laws of motion that describe these situations. Forces affect every moment of your life. Your body is held to Earth by force and held together by the forces of charged particles. When you open a door, walk down a street, lift your fork, or touch a baby’s face, you are applying forces. Zooming in deeper, your body’s atoms are held together by electrical forces, and the core of the atom, called the nucleus, is held together by the strongest force we know—strong nuclear force.

  • Short Answers
    PHYS 185 Practice Final Exam Fall 2013 Name: You may answer the questions in the space provided here, or if you prefer, on your own notebook paper. Short answers 1. 2 points When an object is immersed in a liquid at rest, why is the net force on the object in the horizontal direction equal to zero? Solution: The pressure is the same on points that are at the same level but on opposite sides. 2. 2 points How would you determine the density of an irregularly shaped rock? Solution: Weigh it in air then weigh it in water. The difference in those weights is due to buoyancy. That buoyancy tells you the weight of a volume of water displaced by the rock whose volume is the same as the rock. Since you know the density of 3 water is ρw = 1000 kg/m , B = ρwgV and solve for V . Divide the weight you got for m the rock in air by 9.8 s2 to get the mass, and then divide the mass by the volume you figured out previously. This is the same as the golden crown problem we saw in class. 3. 2 points Can an object be in equilibrium if it is in motion? Explain. Solution: Yes, the condition of equilibrium is the all of the net forces and all of the net torques is equal to zero. If an object is in motion at a constant speed and constant direction, and/or is rotating at a constant rate, then that means there is no linear or angular acceleration which implies that the net force and net torque are equal to zero{which implies equilibrium.

What are the two criteria for simple harmonic motion? - Only restoring forces cause simple harmonic motion. A restoring force is a force that it proportional to the displacement from equilibrium and in the opposite direction. - Position, velocity and the other variables of simple harmonic motion are sinusoidal functions of time. 2. The diagram to the right shows a 2 kg block attached to a Hookean spring on a frictionless surface. The block experiences no net force when it is at position B. When the block is to the left of point B the spring pushes it to the right. When the block is to the right of point B, the spring pulls it to the left. The mass is pulled to the right from point B to point C and released at time t = 0. The block then oscillates between positions A and C. Assume that the system consists of the block and the spring and that no dissipative forces act. a) The block takes 40.0 s to make 20 oscillations. What is the “period of oscillation” for this system? T = 40s/20 oscillations = 2 sec/oscillation b) What is the frequency of this oscillating system? f = 1/T = ½ = 0.5 Hz c) What is the amplitude of vibration of this system?

  • 15. Parallel Axis Theorem and Torque A) Overview B) Parallel Axis Theorem
    15. Parallel Axis Theorem and Torque A) Overview In this unit we will continue our study of rotational motion. In particular, we will first prove a very useful theorem that relates moments of inertia about parallel axes. We will then move on to develop the equation that determines the dynamics for rotational motion. In so doing, we will introduce a new quantity, the torque, that plays the role for rotational motion that force does for translational motion. We will find, once again, that the rotational analog of mass will be the moment of inertia. B) Parallel Axis Theorem We have shown earlier that the total kinetic energy of a system of particles in any reference frame is equal to the kinetic energy of the center of mass of the system, defined to be one half times the total mass times the square of the center of mass velocity, plus the kinetic energy of the motion of all of the parts relative to the center of mass. = + K system ,lab K REL KCM For a solid object the only possible motion relative to the center of mass is rotation. Therefore, the kinetic energy relative to the center of mass is just equal to one half times the moment of inertia about a rotation axis through the center of mass times the square of the angular velocity about the center of mass. = 1 ω 2 + 1 2 K system ,lab 2 ICM CM 2 Mv CM We can use this result to calculate the moment of inertia about a chosen axis if the moment of inertia about a parallel axis that passes through the center of mass is known.

Why does one of the two grips of the wheel above require less force to rotate the wheel? APPLICATIONS (continued) When you grip a vehicle’s steering wheel with both hands and turn, a couple moment is applied to the wheel. Would older vehicles without power steering need larger or smaller steering wheels? MOMENT OF A COUPLE A couple is defined as two parallel forces with the same magnitude but opposite in direction separated by a perpendicular distance “d.” The moment of a couple is defined as MO = F d (using a scalar analysis) or as MO = r F (using a vector analysis). Here r is any position vector from the line of action of F to the line of action of F. MOMENT OF A COUPLE (continued) The net external effect of a couple is that the net force equals zero and the magnitude of the net moment equals F *d. Since the moment of a couple depends only on the distance between the forces, the moment of a couple is a free vector. It can be moved anywhere on the body and have the same external effect on the body. Moments due to couples can be added together using the same rules as adding any vectors.
