III. Unit Objectives for Motion
1. Given the following list of terms, identify each term's correct definition.
Conversely, given the definition, identify the correct term.
acceleration, constant acceleration, force, inertia, kinetic energy, linear motion,
mass, momentum, speed, time, velocity, weight,
2. Describe how forces (pushes or pulls) are needed to speed up, slow down, stop,
or change the direction of a moving object by:
3. Describe and compare motion in two dimensions. Given the distance (x), the
time (t) and the formula v = x / t, calculate the speed (v) of any object moving in a
straight line with constant velocity. (Newton's First Law)
4. Relate motion of objects to unbalanced forces in two dimensions. (Newton’s
Second Law)
a. Given the formula f = m x a, calculate the force acting on an
object with a mass (m), moving with a constant acceleration (a).
b. Given the formula a = (vfinal - vinitial) / time, compute the acceleration
of an object moving in a straight line with constant acceleration.
5. Relate motion of objects to balanced forces in two dimensions. Given an object
at rest or in motion identify the forces acting on the object. (Newton's third Law of
Motion.)

Finding The Forces Activities
1. Have someone hold a 500-gram hooked mass (HM) in their
outstretched hand. Use the arrows so indicate all the forces
acting on the HM.
2. Hang the hooked mass from a rubber band. Use the arrows
to indicate the forces acting on the HM.
3. Hang the hooked mass from a string. Release the string to
drop the HM. (Please catch it.’)
4. Place the HM on a platform spring scale.
5. Place the hooked mass on a soft sponge or piece of foam rubber. The sponge
should be soft and about the size of the HM. Push the HM with a horizontal force.
The force you apply should be large enough to affect the sponge, but not so large
as to make the sponge or the HM slide.
6. Place a coin at the edge of the table. Give it a flick with your finger so it hits the
floor some distance away. Make a free-body diagram showing the forces acting
on the coin (1) setting on the table, (2) while your finger is in the process of
flicking it and (3) while it is moving through the air.
7. Out of a 3 x 5 card, make a device that allows you to flick one coin at the same
time that you simply drop a second coin.

Types of Forces
A force is defined as any push or pull that results in accelerating motion
Circular - When objects move in circles, a force acts with a direction that is toward the
center of the circle. We call this direction CENTRIPETAL
Circular
Gravitational - All objects attract all other objects with a force called gravitational force.
Electromagnetic - Electric forces act on objects when the object carries a net electric
Gravitational
charge or a non-uniform distribution of charge. Magnetic force is also observed
around a moving electric charge and act on those charges. Physicists believe that all
magnetic forces are produced by moving charges.
Electromagnetic
Frictional - Frictional forces are often classified as sliding, rolling, static and fluid.
Sliding and rolling frictional forces result when solids in contact pass by each other.
Static frictional force results when solids are in contact, at rest and when a force or
forces are trying to cause them to move with respect to each other. Fluid frictional
force results when a solid is moving through a gas or a liquid.
Frictional
Normal
Normal - “Normal” means “perpendicular
to”. Whenever an object is placed on a
surface, a force acts normal to the surfaces in contact. This causes the supporting
surface to sag. Since this sagging is slight, it often goes unnoticed. However, it is
always there and the resulting force of the surface attempting to return to its original
position is perpendicular to the surface.
Tension
Tension - Tension force is the force exerted by a string, spring, beam or other object
which is being stretched compressed. The electric forces among the molecules give
rise to the force.

Newton’s First Law
An object stays at rest or continues to
move in a straight line at a constant
speed unless acted on by a force.

What is Inertia?
Answer:
The tendency of matter to remain at rest if it
is at rest or, if moving, the tendency to keep
moving in the same direction unless acted
upon by some outside force.

Newton’s Second Law
When a force acts on a moving object, it will
accelerate in the direction of the force dependent
on its mass and the force.
