what is Force =
push or pull; described by
strength (N) and direction
what is Unit of Force
Newton (N); where 1N 100 g
what is Force Instrument
force meter/spring scale (N)
Force is represented as an arrow (with direction)
longer arrow ~ greater force
what is Net Force
= combining forces
if forces are in the same direction, you
add together to produce a net force.if forces are in opposite directions, you
subtract to produce a net force in the
direction of the larger force.
if opposing forces are of equal strength,
there is no (zero) net force.
Unbalanced forces occurs when a net force is
present causing a change in the object’s
motion.
if two unbalanced forces are in the same
direction, the net force is the sum (+) of the
forces.
if two unbalanced forces are in the opposite
directions, the net force is the difference (-)
between the forces.
what is OBJ
Given notes and activity sheet SWBAT explain
the factors affecting friction and gravity and why
acceleration during free fall with 80% accuracy.
what is DN:
Distribute Friction and Gravity Packet
what is ACT:
Introduction to Friction (Define, Factors Affecting
Friction, Types, Beneficial vs Harmful).
what is Friction
: the force that two surfaces exert
on each other when they rub against each
other.
what is Factors Affecting Friction:
1) weight
2) rough versus smooth surfaces
3) lubricants (oils, grease); ball bearings
4) surface area
what is Friction
: a force that acts in a direction opposite to
the direction of the object’s motion. Four (4) types:
