    This document provides an introduction to physics concepts related to forces and motion. It begins by defining Newton's First Law about inertia and an object at rest staying at rest. It then discusses force as a vector quantity measured in Newtons. Newton's Second Law relating force, mass and acceleration is introduced. Examples of balanced and unbalanced forces are given. Newton's Third Law of equal and opposite reaction forces is also covered. Other topics discussed include gravity, friction, free body diagrams, conservation of energy and momentum, and elastic vs. inelastic collisions. Students are directed to online activities and simulations to practice these concepts.

    Introduction to Physics

    Forces and Motion


    Newton’s First Law

    An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an


    outside force
    Inertia
    Vectors and the Newton
    ● Force is a vector quantity
    ● Has both magnitude and direction
    Force is measured using the unit of a Newton.
    One Newton is the amount of force required to
    give a 1-kg mass an acceleration of 1 m/s/s. Thus,
    the following unit equivalency can be stated:
    1 Newton = 1 kg • m/s2
    Time to practice

    Go to GC to complete the assignment.


    Part 1 is Guided Notes
    Part 2 is Net Force Introduction with a simulation

    This activity is due by the end of class.


    Balanced and Unbalanced Forces
    Newton’s Second Law

    Force=Mass x Acceleration
    Definitions:
    Force: push or pull on an object
    Mass: amount of matter in an object
    Acceleration: rate of change of velocity
    Velocity is speed and direction, so changing either changes acceleration
    Newton’s Second Law

    Units:
    Force is in Newtons (N)
    Mass is in kilograms (kg)
    Acceleration is in meters per second per second
    (m/sec2)

    Newton’s Third Law

    For every action there is an equal and opposite


    reaction

    Equal in magnitude,
    opposite in direction

    Forces come in pairs!


    Newton’s Cradle
    Newton Laws Review
    Contact and Non-Contact Forces
    Gravity

    Do the activity in Google Classroom to explore


    the variables that influence gravity.

    For the last 15 minutes of class we will discuss


    our results and continue on with the exploration.
    g is a constant on Earth
    g=9.8 m/s2
    Friction
    Friction is a force that resists motion.
    Types:
    ● Static
    ● Sliding
    ● Rolling
    ● Fluid
    Free Body Diagrams
    Which of the following shows a balanced force?
    Which of the following shows an unbalanced force?
    Conservation of Energy and Momentum

    Energy can not be created nor destroyed- it only changes


    form
    Types of Energy:

    Kinetic Energy (KE)- energy of motion

    Potential Energy (PE)- stored energy due to position, shape or state
