1. Forces Forces You will be able to: Identify and describe the changes in position, direction, and speed of an object when acted upon by unbalanced forces. Identify balanced and unbalanced forces. Adapted from a PowerPoint by Kathleen Ingram, Lamar Middle School
2. What are some common forces? What are some common forces? Gravity the force with which the earth, moon, or another massive object attracts another object towards itself. Gravity the force with which the earth, moon, or another massive object attracts another object towards itself.
3. What are some common forces? What are some common forces? Normal force a support force exerted upon an object in contact to another object. Normal force a support force exerted upon an object in contact to another object.
4. Net Force Net Force The net force is the combined effect of all forces acting on an object. The net force is the combined effect of all forces acting on an object.
5. Force Force Balanced Forces Balanced Forces forces acting on an object that are opposite in direction and equal in size no change in speed
6. Force Force Unbalanced forces Unbalanced forces unbalanced forces that are not opposite and equal unbalanced forces that are not opposite and equal velocity changes (object accelerates) velocity changes (object accelerates) F friction W F pull F net N N
7. Are there different forces acting on the figure skaters? What direction are the forces acting? Are the forces balanced or unbalanced ? How do you know?
8. Balanced and unbalanced forces Balanced and unbalanced forces http://www.engineeringinteract.org/resourc es/parkworldplot/flash/concepts/balanced andun.htm http://www.engineeringinteract.org/resourc es/parkworldplot/flash/concepts/balanced andun.htm
9. Today we will demonstrate Today we will demonstrate (A) basic relationships between force and motion using simple machines including pulleys and levers (A) basic relationships between force and motion using simple machines including pulleys and levers (A) that an object will remain at rest or move at a constant speed and in a straight line if it is not being subjected to an unbalanced force (A) that an object will remain at rest or move at a constant speed and in a straight line if it is not being subjected to an unbalanced force (B) how unbalanced forces cause changes in the speed or direction of an object's motion (B) how unbalanced forces cause changes in the speed or direction of an object's motion
