8 Introduction: 1. Check all statements below that are true: Defining Force: 2. Define force. Section 4: What is Force? Any time the motion of an object changes, a force has been applied.

Force Acting in Opposite Directions Force Acting in Same Direction Summary: Force is a or acting on an object. Examples of force include and. The SI unit of force is the (N). The combined forces acting on an object are called the force. When forces act in directions, they are subtracted to yield the net force. When they act in the direction, they are added to yield the net force.
10 What is Friction? 1. Define friction. Section 5: Friction 2. Draw original examples of helpful fiction and harmful friction. Example of Helpful Friction Example of Harmful Friction Why Friction Occurs: 3. Describe why friction occurs. Be sure to include why smooth surfaces create friction. Factors that Affect Friction 4. Factors that affects the amount of friction are the roughness of surfaces, surface area of objects, and the weight of the object. Draw some original examples of the factors that affect friction. rough surface lots of friction large surface area - lots of friction heavy weight - lots of friction smooth surface little friction small surface area little friction light weight little friction
11 Friction Produces Heat: 5. Explain why friction produces heat. Be sure to mention molecules in your answer. 6. How can friction between objects be reduced? Types of Friction: 7. Draw examples of the four types of friction. Try to think of something original. Example of Static Friction Example of Sliding Friction Example of Rolling Friction Example of Fluid Friction 8. What is air resistance? Summary: Friction is a that motion between two surfaces that are touching. Friction occurs because no surface is perfectly. Friction is greater when objects have surfaces, have more surface that is touching, or are so they press together with greater force. Types of friction include friction, friction, friction, and friction. Fluid friction with air is called air.

Draw a satellite and orbit around the Earth. Label the accelertion and velocity on the diagram. Summary: Gravity is traditionally defined as a force of between two masses. Weight measures the of gravity and is expressed in (N). According to Newton s law of gravitation, gravity is a force of attraction between objects in the universe, and the strength of gravity depends on the of the objects and the between them. Gravity causes falling objects to at 9.8 m/s 2. Gravity also causes motion and motion.
16 Force and Motion: 1. State Newton s first law of motion. Section 7: Newton s First Law 2. Draw original examples how Newton s first law can be observed. An object at rest, remains at rest. An object in motion, remains in motion. Inertia: 3. Newton s first law is also called the law of inertia. Define inertia. 4. Describe an example (not from the Flexbook) of how you personally experience inertia during the day. Inertia and Mass: 5. How is the inertia of an object related to its mass? Overcoming Inertia: 6. A non-moving soccer ball is kicked and flies through the air, bounces on the grass and rolls to a stop. Describe how inertia was overcome to get the ball in motion and also how inertia was overcome for the ball to come to a stop again. Summary: Newton s first law of motion states that an object s motion will not change unless an force acts on the object. If the object is at, it will stay at. If the object is in, it will stay in. is the tendency of an object to a change in motion. The inertia of an object depends on its. Objects with mass have inertia. To overcome inertia, an force must be applied to an object.
17 Acceleration, Force, and Mass: Section 8: Newton s Second Law 1. What two factors did Isaac Newton determine affect the acceleration of an object? 2. State Newton s second law of motion. Include the equation. Direct and Inverse Relationships: 3. Draw original examples of the two aspects of Newton s second law. The greater the force applied, the more the object will accelerate. The greater the mass of the object, the less it will accelerate. Calculating Accleration: 4. Use the formula for Newton s second law of motion to calculate acceleration in the examples below. Remember 1 Newton is equal to 1 kg-m/s 2 F = 100 N M = 50 kg 5. Find the acceleration of the sled when one dog is pulling it. F = 200 N M = 50 kg 6. Find the acceleration of the sled when two dogs are pulling it. 7. What would be the acceleration of the sled if two dogs were pulling it, but the mass was reduced to 25kg? Summary: Newton s second law of motion states that the of an object equals the net acting on the object divided by the object s.
18 Sections 9, 10, 11: Newton s Third Law and Momentum Action and Reaction: 1. What is Newton s Third Law of motion? 2. How does the diagram at right demonstrate Newton s Third Law? 3. Why don t action and reactions cancel each other out, like balanced forces? Explain using an example. 4. Draw two original examples of Newton s third law being observed. Momentum: 5. Write the formula to calculate momentum: 6. Calculate the momentum of the car and truck below:
19 Conservation of Momentum: 7. Explain the law of conservation of momentum. 8. How can you tell momentum has been conserved in the collision pictured below? Summary: Newton s third law of motion states that every has and equal and opposite. is a property of a moving object that makes it hard to. It equals the object s times its. When an action and reaction occur, may be transferred from one object to, but their combined remains the same. This is the law of of.
