Frames of Reference You don't always need to see something
move to know that motion has taken place A reference point is needed to determine the
position of an object Ever felt like you were slowly moving
backwards when a semi truck passed you on the highway?
22
Frames of Reference You have mistakenly made the truck your
frame of reference, measuring your motion relative to the truck
Both vehicles move forward relative to the stationary tree (the ground is the proper frame of reference)

Motion- a change in position, measured by distance and time
The SI unit of length or distance is the meter (m) Shorter distances are measured in centimeters (cm) Longer distances are measured in kilometers (km)
The following quantities are used to describe motion: Speed Velocity Acceleration
Describing One-Dimensional Motion
The fastest “thing” travels at ~670,000,000 mph…
What is it?Light44
Suppose a runner jogs to the 50-m mark and then turns around and runs back to the 20-m mark Distance- quantity that tells you how far something
has moved The runner travels 50 m in the original direction
(east) plus 30 m in the opposite direction (west), so the total distance she ran is 80 m
Change in Position
55
Sometimes you may want to know not only your distance but also your direction from a reference point, such as from the starting point Displacement- the distance AND direction of an
object’s position relative to a starting point Adding displacement: 50 m east, turn around and
run 30 m west = 20 m east total displacement
Change in Position
66
Speed Speed- the distance traveled
by a moving object over a period of time
Kilometers/sec, miles/hour, meters/min
77
Speed Formula
Example: A rifle bullet travels 1200 meters in 4 seconds.
What is the speed of the bullet?
S = D / TStep # 2 Step # 1 Step # 3
S = 1200m/4 sec.
S = 300 m/sec.
D = S X T
T = D/S
S = D/T
88
Constant Speed A moving object that doesn’t change its
speed travels at constant speed Constant speed- equal distances are
covered in an equal amount of time (i.e. 25 miles/hour)
This results in a linear position vs. time graph
99
Changing Speed Usually speed is not
constant Usually the speed
will change for any number of reasons (wind, stop lights, etc.)

Graphing Motion On a distance (or position)-
time graph, the distance,or position, is plotted on the vertical axis and the time on the horizontal axis Each axis must have a
scale that covers the range of number to be plotted
The slope on a distance-time graph is equal to speed

Velocity Velocity depends on direction as well as
speed, so the velocity of an object can change even if the speed of the object remains constant
The speed of this car might be constant, but its velocity is not because the direction of motion is always changing
2020
Velocity and Momentum
A moving object has a property called momentum that is related to how much force is needed to change its motion
Momentum (p) takes into consideration not only an object’s velocity AND mass
Mass- the amount of matter (atoms) in an object (kg)
2121
Velocity and Momentum Momentum is given the symbol p and
can be calculated with the following equation
p = mass (kg) X velocity (m/s)
The unit for momentum is kg · m/s. Notice that momentum has a direction because velocity has a direction.
2222
Velocity and Momentum When two objects have the same velocity, the one
with the larger mass has the larger momentum The 1,000-kg car traveling at 20 m/s east has a
momentum of 20,000 kg•m/s east. p = m X v = 1000kg X 20 m/s What about the truck?
Law of conservation of momentum- the total momentum of a system stays the same before and after an interaction

Change in Velocity Velocity rarely stays constant Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity
When the velocity of an object changes, the object is accelerating
A change in velocity can be either a change in how fast something is moving, or a change in the direction it is moving
Acceleration occurs when an object changes its speed, its direction, or both
Acceleration- the rate at which velocity changes in time (speed OR direction components)
2828
Change in Velocity
In a car we can change our velocity 3 ways: Speed up Slow down Change direction
All of these would be considered acceleration
2929
Change in Velocity
We say that this car is acceleratingbecause its velocity is increasing
We say that this car is acceleratingbecause its direction is changing as it
turns, which means its velocity is changingeven though its speed stays

The question is… why?
Why does everything in the universe move?
4646
The answer…
Big, huge, massive forces!
And little ones too.
4747
Forces
A force is a pull (an attraction)
Or, a push (a repulsion)
4848
Forces
All forces have two properties: Direction Size
A newton (N) is the unit that describes the sizeof a force and is equal to 1kg X m/s2
4949
Changing Motion A force can cause the motion of an object to
change If you have played pool, you know that you can
force a ball at rest to roll into a pocket by striking it with another ball
The force of the moving ball causes the ball at rest to move in the direction of the force
Force does not always change motion, though
5050
When all the forces acting on an object are considered together, you determine the net force on the object
An object with a net force of anything other than 0 N on it will change its state of motion
Net Force
5151
Forces in the Same Direction
When forces are applied in the same direction, they are added to determine the size of the net force
5252
5353
When two forces act in opposite directions, you subtract the smaller force from the larger force to determine the net force
The net force will be in the same direction as the larger force
Forces in Different Directions
5454
Balanced forces cancel each other out!They are forces that are equal in size and opposite in direction
Balanced Forces
5555
Types of Forces
1. Friction2. Gravity3. Electromagnetic4. Nuclear 5. Etc.
5656
1. Friction Friction- the force that opposes
the sliding motion of two surfaces that are touching each other i.e. skateboard stops rolling It always slows a moving object
down The amount of friction between two
surfaces depends on two factorsthe kinds of surfaces and the force pressing the surfaces together.
5757
1. Friction
Force on person by box
Force on floor by boxForce on box by floor
Force on box by person
Corrugations and imperfections in the surfaces grind when things slide.
How can we reduce friction?5858
Cause of Friction
•The larger the force pushing the two surfaces together is, the stronger these microwelds will be, because more of the surface bumps will come into contact
5959
Types of Friction Static-prevents two surfaces from sliding
past each other at all (move a box of books) Sliding- opposes sliding motion (box of
books that is sliding stops moving) Rolling- acts over the area where the wheel
and surface meet like traction (skateboard with box of books on it stops moving)
Fluid (Viscous)- opposes the motion of objects traveling through a fluid (air or water)
6060
2. Gravity Galileo-1600’s studied how things fell Gravity is an attractive force
between any two objects that depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them
Isaac Newton formulated the law of universal gravitation, which he published in 1687
6161
Law of Universal Gravitation
This law can be written as the following equation
F is the force of gravity, G is a constant called the universal gravitational constant, and d is the distance between the two masses, m1 and m2
The greater the mass of two objects, the greater the gravitational force (F) between them
The greater the distance between two objects, the less the gravitation force between them
6262
Gravitational Force
No matter how far apart two objects are, the gravitational force between them never completely goes to zero Because of this gravity is called a long-range
force The strength of the gravitational field is 9.8
N/kg near Earth’s surface and gets smaller as you move away from Earth
6363
Weight Because the weight of an object on Earth is equal to
the force of Earth’s gravity on the object, weight can be calculated from this equation:
Where Fg is the force of gravity on an object…..in other words, its weight…and g is 9.8 N/kg near Earth’s surface (9.8N/kg = 9.8 m/s2)
or (m/s2)
6464
Mass
Weight and mass are not the same Weight is a force and mass is a measure
of the amount of matter an object contains
Weight and mass are related. Weight increases as mass increases
or (m/s2)

Newton’s Laws of Motion
Newton lived from 1642–1727 #1 An object in motion stays in motion
and an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
#2 Force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma)
#3 For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
6868
Newton’s First Law
An object in motion
stays in motion and an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
6969
Newton’s First Law
What does this mean? AAn object will keep doing what it’s doing
UNLESS acted on by an unbalanced force like friction If it is moving at a constant velocity it will
continue If it is at rest, it stays at rest
In outer space, away from gravity and any sources of friction, a rocket ship launched with a certain speed and direction would keep going in that same direction and same speed forever
7070
Newton’s First Law Called the Law of Inertia- the tendency of
an object to resist changes in its state of motion Recall that mass is the amount of matter
(atoms) in an object Newton’s First Law states that all objects have
inertia The more mass an object has, the more inertia
it has (and the harder it is to change its motion)
7171
Then why don’t moving objects keep moving forever?
Things don’t keep moving forever because there’s almost always an unbalanced force
acting upon it
A book sliding across a table slows down and stops because of the force of friction
If you throw a ball upwards it will eventually slow down and fall because of the force of gravity 7272
Newton’s Second Law
Force equals mass times acceleration
F = ma
7373
Newton’s Second Law What Does F = ma Mean?
The force of an object comes from its mass and its acceleration so that the acceleration of an object is in the same direction as the net force on the object
A massive glacier that’s changing speed very slowly (low acceleration) can still have great force due to its mass
Something very small (low mass)like a bullet that’s changing speed very quickly (high acceleration) can still have a great force
7474
Force = Mass X Acceleration
Force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration First ball: has a certain mass, m,
moving at a certain acceleration, a, and therefore a certain force, f.
Second ball: has double the mass of the first ball, 2m, and the same acceleration, a, therefore has twice the force of the first ball, 2f
Third ball: has mass m moving at twice the first ball’s acceleration, 2a, would have a force of 2f.

Newton’s First Law with Air Bags
Air bags also reduce injuries in car crashes by providing a cushion that reduces the force on the car's occupants
When impact occurs, a chemical reaction occurs in the air bag that produces nitrogen gas
The air bag expands rapidly and then deflates just as quickly as the nitrogen gas escapes out of tiny holes in the bag

Newton’s First Law and Centripetal Force
According to Newton, as a car tries to make a
turn, the car would continue in a straight line unless there was a force acting on the car to turn it
This force of friction acting upon the turned wheels provides centripetal force required for circular motion

Acceleration Due to Gravity
Gravity causes objects to accelerate at the SAME rate, 9.8 m/s/s (~10 m/s/s)
WITHOUT air resistance, a friction-like force, all objects would fall at the same speed

friction) will increase as object falls faster causing an upward force on the object Eventually gravity will
