LIVE INTERACTIVE LEARNING @ YOUR DESKTOP NSTA Web Seminar: Force and Motion: Stop Faking It! Thursday, December 11, 2008 Force and Motion Speed and velocity Inertia and acceleration Newton’s second law Mass and weight Speed and velocity Which animal had the greatest average speed for the entire race? Tortoise Hare Which animal had the greatest instantaneous speed during the race? Tortoise Hare Definitions Average Instantaneous speed = speed calculated over an infinitesimally small time period Which of the following is true? All the balls moved exactly alike. All the balls moved with the same speed. All the balls were the same color. They weren’t really balls, it’s a computer simulation. Let’s Pause for Two Questions from the Audience Inertia and Acceleration Inertia = the tendency of an object to keep on doing whatever it is doing, whether in motion at a constant speed or at rest Acceleration = any change in speed and/or direction Let’s Pause for Two Questions from the Audience Newton’s second law Mass is a measure of inertia. It’s just a number used to compare inertias. Newton’s second law ΣF = ma ΣF represents the net force acting on an object. m represents the mass of an object, which is a numerical measure of its inertia. a represents the acceleration of the object. Let’s Pause for Two Questions from the Audience 24 Mass and Weight 25 Mass is: Something you go to if you are Catholic. The amount of “stuff” in an object. A measure of an object’s inertia. A force that resists motion. Weight is: The gravitational force the Earth exerts on an object. The gravitational force any object exerts on another object. The same as mass, but with different units. A good song by The Band • Mass is a measure of inertia. It is the m that goes into F = ma. • Weight is the force that gravity exerts on something. Weight is the F in F = ma. The accelerations of the two objects are the same For the large object: F = ma Weight of large object = (mass of large object)(acceleration of large object) W = mg For the small object: F = ma Weight of small object = (mass of small object)(acceleration of small object) w = mg Fgrav Gm1m2 2 r 31 For an object near the surface of the Earth: F = ma GmEarth mobject rEarth 2 GmEarth mobject 2 Earth r mobject aobject mobject aobject GmEarth a object 2 rEarth Thank you!
