Motion



Motion is a change in position over time.
Motion depends on a reference point which is
an object used for comparison with the object
in motion. Stationary objects are good
reference points.
Position is an object’s location in relation to a
reference point.

Speed = 60 miles/hour
Velocity = 60 miles/hour north
Distance is how far the object traveled.
Time measures how long it took the object to
travel the distance.
SPEED
Speed is the distance that an object travels in a period of time.
Units are meters and seconds
However, sometimes km/hr is
more sensible.

Motion on Earth




Theory of Plate Tectonics states that Earth’s
plates move slowly in various directions through
convection energy transfer in the mantle. (some
push away; some push together)
Tectonic plates are large pieces of the
lithosphere that are in constant motion.
Some move cm each year; others just mm
Distance=5cm/year x 1000 years=5000cm (50m)
Motion on Earth

Lithosphere is the rocky outer shell of Earth that
includes the crust and upper mantle. (brittle and
rigid) more solid



Continental Crust: composed of sedimentary, igneous,
and metamorphic rocks and make up the continents
Oceanic Crust: more dense, thinner mafic rock layer
that makes up ocean basins
The asthenosphere lies just below the
lithosphere. It is much hotter with a low density
and very ductile. (plastic and flowing) more liquid
Motion on Earth




Plate Boundary: Region where two tectonic
plates meet
Transform (fault) boundary: Plates slide side
by side.
Convergent boundary: Plates move towards
each other.
Divergent boundary: Plates move away from
each other.
Oceanic-Continental Convergent: Oceanic
plate is more dense and subducts the continental
plate creating an ocean trench and a chain of
volcanoes.
Continental-Continental Convergent: The
two plates collide creating a mountain range.
Oceanic-Oceanic Convergent: collide to
create volcanoes and islands in between.
Oceanic-Oceanic Divergent: Forms midoceanic ridges leading to underwater volcanoes
that give rise to volcanic islands.
Continental-Continental Divergent:
Produce rift valleys eventually creating oceanic
plates.
Motion on Earth
Acceleration



Acceleration is the rate of change in speed,
direction, or both.
Riding your bike at 2 km/h, you slow down to
1 km/h, and then increase speed to 1.5 km/h.
(Each time you are accelerating)
acceleration = velocity final - velocityinitial
time
ACCELERATION
Acceleration is the change in speed in an object in a period of
time.

It takes a cyclist 20 seconds to go from
a standing start to 14m/s.

a = Δv/Δt a = 14m/s / 20s
What is 14m/s in km/hr?
= 14 × 60s × 60min  1000m
a = 0.7ms2
= 50.4km/hr
SPEED/TIME GRAPHS
A runner travels at 4m/s for 10 seconds, then stops suddenly for 5
seconds, then accelerates for 5 seconds to get to 8m/s and
continues for 10 seconds.

is the runner going the
fastest?

FORCES
Forces are pushes or pulls (a combination is a
twist).
Objects are stationary when forces are
balanced
gravity is always acting but we don’t keep
falling due to a support force
Forces can be measured using a Newton meter.
BALANCED FORCES
An unbalanced forces cause changes to objects motion (speed or
direction), or shape.
If a force acts on a stationary object and causes motion, the object
has gained kinetic (movement) energy.
Friction will stop the object moving.
Types of force:
Gravity
Friction – the force that opposes motion
Magnetism
Tension – the force in rope, etc
Electrostatic
Support
Lift – in the air (planes/birds)
Buoyancy – in the water
FORCE PAIRS
Forces act in pairs (e.g.
thrust and friction, gravity
and support).
Force diagrams show the
forces acting on an object
and whether they are
balanced or unbalanced.
Force pairs
What are the
missing terms?
 Buoyancy

st
1
Law of Motion
An object at rest will remain at rest unless
acted on by an unbalanced force. An object
in motion continues in motion with the same
speed and in the same direction unless acted
upon by an unbalanced force.
Newton’s

nd

Law of Motion
Acceleration is produced when a force
acts on a mass. The greater the mass (of
the object being accelerated) the greater
the amount of force needed (to accelerate
the object).

Law of Motion
EX: Mike's car, which weighs 1,000 kg, is
out of gas. Mike is trying to push the car to
a gas station, and he makes the car
accelerate at 0.05 m/s/s. Using Newton's
Second Law, compute how much force
Mike is applying to the car.
FORCE AND MOTION
What happens when you apply a small constant force to a
trolley and time it over a set distance?
Small constant
force
Set distance
The trolley should accelerate because…
An unbalanced force causes acceleration.
FORCE AND MOTION
What happens when you apply a small constant force to a
trolley carrying a 1kg mass and time it over a set distance?
Small constant
force
1Kg
Set distance
The trolley should accelerate but slower than previously
because…
The larger the mass the slower the
acceleration

4. A bike accelerates at 10ms-2 using a force of 6000N. The
rider is 70kg. What is the mass of the bike?
WEIGHT FORCE
Weight is a force. It is therefore measured in… Newtons (N)
An object’s weight depends on two things…
Gravity
• varies depending where you are
• 10ms-2 or 10N/Kg on Earth
Mass
• does not vary
• measured in Kg
•A man with mass of 75Kg on earth weighs 750N
BUT on the moon he weighs 125N
The Source of Friction



Friction- A force that opposes motion
between 2 surfaces that are touching
Friction occurs because the surface of any
object is rough.
The amount of friction depends upon many
factors like:


Roughness of the surfaces
Force pushing the surfaces together
FRICTION
Friction can be reduced by…
lubrication,
streamlining (aerodynamics),
slowing down,
smoothing surfaces

Waves


Waves: a disturbance that travels through a
medium from one location to another often
transferring energy
Transverse: causes vibration in the medium
in a perpendicular direction to its own motion.


Example: Light, Electromagnetic spectrum
Longitudinal: have vibrations along or parallel
to their direction of travel.

Example: Sound
Waves




Wavelength: the distance between adjacent
crests, measured in meters.
Period: the time it takes for one complete wave
to pass a given point, measured in seconds.
Frequency: the number of complete waves that
pass a point in one second, measured in inverse
seconds, or Hertz (Hz).
As frequency increases, Wavelength decreases
Waves




Refraction: the change in
direction of a wave due to
a change in its speed.
Wave speed varies in different media.
Sound waves travel faster in water than air.
(Sonar)
Light waves travel faster in air than water.
Electromagnetic Spectrum


Visible Light: ROY G BIV (Red has longer
wavelength.)
The range of all possible electromagnetic
radiation.




What kind of electromagnetic radiation has the shortest
wavelength? The longest?
What kind of electromagnetic radiation could be used to
"see" molecules? A cold virus?
Why can't you use visible light to "see" molecules?
Some insects, like bees, can see light of shorter
wavelengths than humans can see. What kind of radiation
do you think a bee sees?
Science of Light

Translucent: light can travel through
Transparent : some light can travel through
Opaque : no light can travel through
Earthquakes Making Waves

Seismic waves carry energy from an
earthquake away from the focus, through
Earth’s interior and across the surface.
Seismic Waves



Primary (P waves): can travel through all states of
matter through compressions and rarefactions much
like an accordion.
Secondary (S waves): cannot move through liquids;
move back and forth and up and down (transverse
wave)
Surface waves: when P and S waves reach the
surface


Love wave: rolls like a

Rayleigh wave: shakes
