BELL WORK On a sheet of notebook paper, write at the top Bell Work Then write Wednesday and answer the following questions. 1. Describe the force that pulls an object down. Gravity pulls an object down. 8/19/2020 2. What are three ways to accelerate (change velocity)? Speed up, Slow down, or Change direction 3. If I roll a ball down the road, why does it eventually stop? Friction between the ball and the road slows it down and causes it to stop.
FORCES I. Nature of Forces A.What is Acceleration? Acceleration is the rate at which velocity (speed and direction) changes 3 ways to accelerate: 1.Speed up (positive acceleration) 2.Slow down (negative acceleration) 3.Change direction (neutral acceleration)
FORCES To calculate acceleration, Acceleration =(Final speed Initial Speed) Time Use the unit: m/s2 Example: A roller coaster s velocity at the top of a hill is 10 m/s. Two seconds later it reaches the bottom of the hill with a velocity of 26 m/s. What was the acceleration of the coaster?

Two seconds later it reaches the bottom of the hill with a velocity of 26 m/s. What was the acceleration of the coaster? a = (26 m/s 10 m/s) 2 s =8 m/s/s or m/s2 =16 m/s 2 s
BELL WORK Get out your bell work paper. Write Friday and answer the following questions. 1. Which of these statements are true? a. When you press on the gas, the car accelerates. b. When you press on the brake, the car accelerates. c. When you change lanes, the car accelerates. 2. Explain your answer to question #1. 8/21/20 3. Describe the force it would take for the 8th graders to win a tug of war against the 7th graders.

When you press on the brake, the car accelerates. c. When you change lanes, the car accelerates. 2. Explain your answer to question #1. Acceleration depends on velocity and direction. 8/21/20 (+) (-) (neutral) 3. Describe the force it would take for the 8th graders to win a tug of war against the 7th graders. More force than the 7th graders
B. How are Forces Described? A force is a push or pull measured in Newtons (N). Represented using an arrow The head of the arrow is the direction. The length of the arrow is the strength.

C.How Do Forces Affect Motion? Net force is the combination of all forces on an object. It determines the motion! If net force is zero, there is no motion; it is balanced. (sitting in chair) If net force is not zero, it will move in the direction of the largest force; it is unbalanced. (driving a car)
To determine net force, add or subtract all the net forces acting on an object. If the forces are going in the same direction, add. If the forces are going in opposite directions, subtract. 1. 2.
