  1. Force and Motion

  2. Gravity and Motion • Which would hit the ground first, a soccer ball or a bowling ball?

  3. 400 B.C. in Greece - Aristotle “the rate at which an object falls depends on the object’s mass” Philosopher so he never tested his idea

  4. 1500s in Italy – Galileo Galilei “mass of an object does not affect the time the object takes to fall to the ground”

  5. Gravity and Motion • Which would hit the ground first, a soccer ball or a bowling ball?

  6. They would both hit at the same time! WHY?

  7. Gravity causes all objects to accelerate toward the Earth at a rate of 9.8 m/s²

  8. You can calculate the change in velocity of a falling object… Equation: Δv = g x t

  9. Δv = g x t • Δv = change in velocity • g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²) • t = time

  10. Practice - Δv = g x t • A penny is dropped from the top of a tall stairwell. What is the penny’s velocity after it has fallen 2 seconds?

  11. Practice - Δv = g x t • The same penny hits the ground in 4.5 s. What is the penny’s velocity as it hits the ground?

  12. Practice - Δv = g x t • A marble is dropped from a tall building. The marble hits the ground with a velocity of 98 m/s downward. How long was the marble in the air?

  13. Practice - Δv = g x t • An acorn falls from an oak tree. It hits the ground with a velocity of 14.7 m/s downward. How long did it take the acorn to land?

  14. If different masses can fall at the same time, same masses definitely should!

  15. Air Resistance – force that opposes the motion of objects through air Depends on: Size, Shape, and Speed of the object

  16. As speed increases, so does air resistance • It continues to increase until it is equal to the downward force of gravity Gravity Force Air Resistance

  17. Terminal velocity • when the object stops acceleratingbecause air resistance equals gravity Gravity Force Air Resistance

  18. Terminal velocity can be a good thing • Normal terminal velocity is 5 – 40 m/s • Without air resistance, they could reach velocities near 350 m/s

  20. Free Fall

  21. Free fall – if only gravityand no other forces are acting on it; no place with air So where can free fall occur?

  22. Freefall can occur: • In a vacuum • In space

  23. In a vacuum • http://isites.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keyword=k16940&pageid=icb.page197826&pageContentId=icb.pagecontent388782&view=watch.do&viewParam_entry=59768&state=maximize#a_icb_pagecontent388782

  24. In Space • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDp1tiUsZw8

  25. Why is the astronaut floating inside the space shuttle? weightless?

  26. Orbiting • when an object travels aroundanother object in space

  27. Orbit • Caused by moving forwardand free falling

  28. Projectile Motion – curved path an object follows when thrown near the surface of the earth Horizontal motion + Vertical motion Curved path

  29. Projectile Motion

  30. Projectile Motion

  31. Projectile Motion

  32. Projectile Motion

  33. Projectile Motion

  34. horizontal motion – parallel to the ground • vertical motion – perpendicular to the ground

  35. They are independent of each other! • gravity affects only the vertical motion

  36. Why is this important to know?

  37. Projectile Design!!! • You will be working in groups of 5 • Create a device that will project a marble into a container 1 meter away • You will design your device and bring any items needed to make it to class tomorrow. • You will want to test it out several times and make sure it is accurate – you each get 2 shots in front of the class!
