Speed vs. Velocity

Speed - SI unit m/s

distance traveled divided by the time interval during which the motion occurred

Velocity – SI unit m/s plus direction

speed of an object in a particular direction

Acceleration – pg. 514

rate at which velocity changes over time; an object accelerates if its speed, direction, or both change.

a = v2 – v1/ t

Force – SI unit N – pg. 517

a push or a pull exerted on an object in order to change the motion of the object; force has size and direction

net force – combination of all the forces acting on an object

balanced force – when the forces on an object produce a net force of 0 N

copy question & answer in notebook

1. How is velocity different from speed?

2. How does the direction of the net force on a object compare to the direction of its motion?

3. How does a net force of 0 N impact an object’s motion?

Friction – pg. 521

a force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in contact

kinetic friction – pg. 522 static friction – pg. 523

Gravity – pg. 527

a force of attraction between objects that is due to their masses

mass affects gravitational force – pg. 528

distance affects gravitational force – pg. 529

weight vs. mass

weight

measure of the gravitational force exerted on an object

mass

a measure of the amount of matter in an object

Newton’s 1st law of motion

An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at a constant speed and in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force.

Newton’s 2nd law

The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied.

F = m x a

a = F/m

Newton’s 3rd law

When one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first.

Momentum

p = m x va quantity defined as the product of the mass and velocity of an object

Science math equations to know

speed average speed = total distance / total time

s = d / t

Newton’s 2nd law Force = mass x acceleration

F = m x a

acceleration average acceleration = final velocity – initial velocity / time

a = v2 – v1 / t

momentum momentum = mass x velocity

p = m x v
