What is a Force?How is a force described?
Force
Newton (N)
Net force
A force is described by its magnitude and by the direction in which it acts.
A push or a pull
The SI unit for the magnitude, or strength, of a force.
The combination of all forces acting on an object.
Chapter 10 Forces

Section 2: Friction, Gravity, and Elastic ForcesStandard 8.2.b Students know when an object is subject to two or more forces at once, the result is the cumulative effect of all the forces.
Standard 8.2.d Students know how to identify separately the two or more forces that are acting on a single static object, including gravity, elastic forces due to tension or compression in matter, and friction.
Chapter 10 Forces
Friction
What factors determine the strength of the friction force between two surfaces?
friction
The strength of the force of friction depends on the types of surfaces involved and on how hard the surfaces push together.
A force that two surfaces exert on each other when they rub against each other
Chapter 10 Forces
Types of Friction
Static Friction• Occurs with objects that
are not moving.• You must use extra force
to start the motion of stationary objects.
• Once the object is moving there is no longer any static friction.
Sliding Friction•Occurs when two solid surfaces slide over each other.•Examples:
• Sticky powder on the soles of ballet slippers.
• Rubber pads on bicycle brakes.
Chapter 10 Forces
Types of Friction
Rolling Friction•Occurs when an object rolls across a surface.•Rolling friction is less than sliding friction for similar materials.•Engineers use ball bearings to reduce friction in many products.
Fluid Friction•Occurs when a solid object moves through a fluid.•Fluid friction is usually less than sliding friction. Parts of machines are bathed in oil for this reason.•Fluid friction occurs between people and air.
Chapter 10 Forces
GravityWhat factors affect the gravitational force between two objects?
gravity
Law of Universal Gravitation
mass
The force of gravity between objects increases with greater mass and decreases with greater distance.
A force that pulls objects toward each other
The force of gravity acts between all objects in the universe.
The measure of the amount of matter in an object
The SI unit of mass is the kilogram (kg).
Chapter 10 Forces
Gravity Between Objects

Chapter 10 Forces
Mass and Weight
The gravitational force exerted on a person or object at the surface of a planet is known as weight.
Weight = Mass X Acceleration due to Gravity

Example:
Weight on Earth 1617 N Mass on Earth 165 kg
Weight on Moon 270 N Mass on Moon 165 kg
Chapter 10 Forces
Gravity and Motion
Why do objects accelerate during free fall?
In free fall, the force of gravity alone causes an object to accelerate in the downward direction.•All objects in free fall accelerate at the same rate regardless of their masses.•The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 meters per second for each second an object is falling. •An object’s velocity is 9.8 m/sec after 1 second•Its velocity is 19.6 m/sec after 2 seconds, etc.
Chapter 10 Forces

Falling objects with a greater surface area experience more air resistance. Air resistance is an upward force exerted on falling objects.
Chapter 10 Forces
Projectile Motion
• An object that is thrown is called a projectile. • The path of a projectile has horizontal motion due to
a lateral force and vertical motion due to gravitational force.
Chapter 10 Forces
Elastic Forces
When is matter considered to be elastic?
Two Types of Elastic Forces
Matter is considered elastic if it returns to its original shape after it is squeezed or stretched.
Compression•An elastic force that squeezes or pushes matter together.•Example: A cushion on a couch compresses due to a person’s weight until it comes close enough together to exert an equal compression force in the other direction.
Chapter 10 Forces

Newton’s First and Second Laws
Standard 8.2.e Students know that when the forces on an object are unbalanced, the object will change its velocity (that is, it will speed up, slow down, or change direction).
Standard 8.2.f Students know the greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to achieve the same rate of change in motion.
Chapter 10 Forces

What is Newton’s First Law of Motion?
An object will remain at rest or moving at a constant velocity unless it is acted upon by an unbalanced force.•Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion.•Another name for Newton’s First Law of Motion is the Law of Inertia.•The greater and object’s mass, the greater its inertia.
Chapter 10 Forces
The Second Law of Motion
What is Newton’s Second Law of Motion?
Acceleration depends on the net force acting on the object and on the object’s mass.

The above formula can also be written as:
Net Force = Mass X Acceleration

Rockets and Satellites
Standard 8.2.e Students know that when the forces on an object are unbalanced, the object will change its velocity (that is, it will speed up, slow down, or change direction).
Chapter 10 Forces
Rockets
How does a rocket lift off? • A rocket can rise into the air because the gases it expels with a downward action force exert an equal but opposite reaction force on the rocket.
• As long as the upward force, called thrust, is greater than the downward pull of gravity there is an unbalanced force, and the rocket will accelerate toward space.
