Gravity and motion
- 1. GRAVITY AND MOTION MADE BY KABIR JAGGI
- 2. QUICK WRITE 1. WATCH THE VIDEO ABOUT THE ‘WEIGHTLESSNESS’ OF ASTRONAUTS IN SPACE 2. WRITE A PARAGRAPH EXPLAINING HOW YOU WOULD CARRY OUT DAILY ACTIVITIES WHILE WEIGHTLESS. DESCRIBE EATING, SLEEPING, GOING TO SCHOOL, WORKING IN CLASS, AND ANY OTHER ACTIVITY YOU WOULD LIKE TO INCLUDE. • CONTINUE TO WRITE UNTIL TOLD TO STOP!!
- 3. EFFECTS OF GRAVITY ON MOTION • GRAVITY IS A FORCE OF ATTRACTION BETWEEN OBJECTS THAT IS DUE TO THEIR MASSES. • ALL MATTER HAS MASS. GRAVITY IS A RESULT OF MASS. THEREFORE, ALL MATTER IS AFFECTED BY GRAVITY. • GRAVITY BETWEEN THE OBJECTS OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM HOLDS THE SOLAR SYSTEM TOGETHER.
- 4. •COMPARED WITH ALL OBJECTS AROUND YOU, EARTH HAS A HUGE MASS. THE GRAVITATIONAL ATTRACTION OF EARTH IS THUS AN IMPORTANT FORCE THAT YOU EXPERIENCE ALL THE TIME. •THE GRAVITATIONAL FORCE OF THE EARTH PULLS ALL THINGS TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE EARTH. •BECAUSE OF THIS, DROPPED OBJECTS FALL TO THE GROUND, INSTEAD OF FLOATING AROUND •YOU MUST APPLY FORCES TO OVERCOME EARTH’S GRAVITATIONAL FORCE EVERY TIME YOU LIFT OBJECTS.
- 5. ISAAC NEWTON AND GRAVITY
- 6. THE LAW OF UNIVERSAL GRAVITATION • THE LAW OF UNIVERSAL GRAVITATION STATES THAT ALL OBJECTS IN THE UNIVERSE ATTRACT EACH OTHER THROUGH GRAVITATIONAL FORCE. • THE LAW DEPENDS ON TWO THINGS: MASS AND DISTANCE
- 7. • MASS: THE GRAVITATIONAL FORCE BETWEEN OBJECTS DEPENDS ON THE PRODUCT OF THE MASSES OF THE OBJECTS. SO, THE GRAVITY BETWEEN OBJECTS INCREASES AS THE MASSES OF THE OBJECTS INCREASES.
- 8. • DISTANCE: THE FORCE OF GRAVITY DEPENDS ON THE DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO OBJECTS. • AS THE DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO OBJECTS GETS LARGER, THE FORCE OF GRAVITY GETS MUCH SMALLER.
- 9. WHERE IS THE MOST GRAVITATIONAL ATTRACTION? 1. BETWEEN THE TWO TEXTBOOKS ON YOUR TABLE OR A TEXTBOOK ON THE TABLE AND THE ONE IN YOUR HOUSE? 2. BETWEEN TWO FOOTBALL PLAYERS OR A FOOTBALL PLAYER AND A TODDLER 3. BETWEEN THE TWO TEXTBOOKS ON THE TABLE OR ONE TEXTBOOK AND THE DESK 4. WHY CANT WE SEE THE ATTRACTION BETWEEN THESE OBJECTS?
- 10. WEIGHT AND THE GRAVITATIONAL FORCE • WEIGHT IS RELATED TO MASS, BUT THEY ARE NOT THE SAME. WEIGHT IS A MEASURE OF THE GRAVITATIONAL FORCE ON AN OBJECT. • WEIGHT IS EXPRESSED IN THE SI UNIT OF FORCE, THE NEWTON (N). • THE VALUE OF AN OBJECT’S WEIGHT CAN CHANGE WITH THE LOCATION OF THE OBJECT IN THE UNIVERSE.
- 12. GRAVITY AND STATIC OBJECTS • GRAVITY ALSO ACTS ON NONMOVING, OR STATIC, OBJECTS. • GRAVITY IS OFTEN BALANCED BY ELASTIC FORCES DUE TO TENSION OR COMPRESSION. EXAMPLE: BIRD FEEDER, PICTURE ON A NAIL
- 13. 1. THE GRAVITATIONAL PULL IS GREATER BETWEEN TWO OBJECTS THAT: a. HAVE GREATER MASSES C. HAVE ROUGHER SURFACE b. ARE FARTHER APART D. ARE MOVING AT GREATER SPEED 2. WHAT HAPPENS TO THE GRAVITATIONAL FORCE BETWEEN TWO OBJECTS AS THE OBJECTS MOVE CLOSER TOGETHER? a. IT INCREASES C. IT DOES NOT CHANGE b. IT DECREASES D. IT HAS NO PATTERN 3. BETWEEN WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS THE GRAVITATIONAL FORCE THE GREATEST? a. A CAT AND AN ELEPHANT C. A CAT AND THE EARTH b. AN ELEPHANT AND THE EARTH D. TWO ELEPHANTS
- 14. 4. The force of gravity a. is not related to the mass of objects. b. is only related to the mass of large objects. c. is only related to the mass of small objects. d. is related to the mass of objects. 5. Which of the following does NOT describe weight? a. changes as gravitational force changes b. is constant everywhere in the universe c. is a measure of gravitational force d. can be measured in Newtons 6. Which of the following is a common unbalanced force acting on objects in motion? a. inertia c. friction b. acceleration d. speed
- 15. HOW DOES GRAVITY AFFECT FALLING OBJECTS – WARM -UP 1. WATCH THE DEMONSTRATIONS 2. ON YOUR PAPER PREDICT WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE PING PONG AND GOLF BALLS ARE DROPPED AT THE SAME TIME 3. PREDICT WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN BOOK AND THE PAPER ARE DROPPED FROM THE SAME HEIGHT 4. WHAT DIFFERENCES DID YOU OBSERVE IN DEMONSTRATIONS? 5. COULD YOU MAKE THE BOOK AND THE PAPER FALL AT THE SAME TIME? HOW?
- 16. GRAVITY AND FALLING OBJECTS•DO TWO OBJECTS WITH DIFFERENT MASSES FALL AT THE SAME RATE? •WHAT ABOUT TWO OBJECTS WITH DIFFERENT SHAPES? • ALL OBJECTS FALL TO THE GROUND AT THE SAME RATE BECAUSE THE ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY IS THE SAME FOR ALL OBJECTS NEAR EARTH’S SURFACE. • ACCELERATION FROM GRAVITY IS 9.8 M/S2 •WHICH MEANS THAT ALL OBJECTS FALL TOWARDS THE EARTH WITH A SPEED THAT INCREASES BY 9.8 METERS PER SECOND EVERY SECOND THEY FALL.
- 18. AIR RESISTANCE AND FALLING OBJECTS •SOMETIMES OBJECTS DO NOT FALL AT THE SAME RATE – THIS GOES AGAINST WHAT WE JUST LEARNED – WHY DOES IT HAPPEN? •AIR RESISTANCE IS THE FORCE THAT OPPOSES THE MOTION OF OBJECTS THROUGH AIR. AIR RESISTANCE SLOWS THE ACCELERATION OF FALLING OBJECTS. •THE AMOUNT OF AIR RESISTANCE ACTING ON A FALLING OBJECT DEPENDS ON THE SIZE, SHAPE, AND SPEED OF THE OBJECT.
- 19. TERMINAL VELOCITY = WHEN THE FORCE OF AIR RESISTANCE IS EQUAL TO THE FORCE OF GRAVITY, BALANCING THE FORCES
- 20. • FREE FALL IS WHEN AN OBJECT IS FALLING DUE TO GRAVITY WITH NO AIR RESISTANCE (THIS CANNOT HAPPEN ON EARTH) • A VACUUM IS A PLACE WHERE THERE ARE NO AIR MOLECULES. IN A VACUUM OBJECTS CAN BE IN FREE FALL
- 21. QUICK LAB: FALLING OBJECTS 1. TAKE OUT 2 NEW SHEETS OF PAPER. 2. HOLD ONE OUT FLAT AND DROP IT AT THE SAME TIME AS A TEXTBOOK FROM SHOULDER HEIGHT. 3. BALL UP ONE OF THE PAPERS. DROP THAT AT THE SAME TIME AS THE BOOK. DROP THE BALLED UP PAPER THE SAME TIME AS THE FLAT PAPER QUESTIONS: DO THEY FALL AT THE SAME RATE? 1.WHAT HAPPENED WHEN YOU DROP THE BOOK AND FLAT PAPER? 2.WHAT ABOUT THE BOOK AND BALLED PAPER? 3.WHAT ABOUT THE TWO PAPERS?
- 22. OPEN BOOK TO PAGE 378 ADD TO QUICK LAB 1. COPY THE APPLE AND THE FORCES IN FIGURE 3 2. LABEL THE FORCES 3. CALCULATE THE NET FORCE ON THE APPLE IF GRAVITY IS PUSHING DOWN WITH A FORCE OF 15 N AND AIR RESISTANCE IS PUSHING UP WITH A FORCE OF 5 N. 4. WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE APPLE? 5. WHAT IS THE ACCELERATION OF THE APPLE?
- 23. PROJECTILE MOTION AND GRAVITY • PROJECTILE MOTION IS THE CURVED PATH THAT AN OBJECT FOLLOWS WHEN THROWN, LAUNCHED, OR OTHERWISE PROJECTED NEAR THE SURFACE OF EARTH. • HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT IS MOVEMENT PARALLEL TO THE GROUND CAUSED BY THE APPLIED FORCE • VERTICAL MOVEMENT IS MOVEMENT PERPENDICULAR TO THE GROUND CAUSED BY GRAVITY PULLING THE OBJECT TO THE EARTH • GRAVITY AFFECTS THE VERTICAL MOVEMENT OF AN OBJECT IN PROJECTILE MOTION BY PULLING THE OBJECT DOWN AT AN ACCELERATION OF 9.8 M/S2 Happens in Two Directions
- 25. ANGRY BIRDS = PROJECTILE MOTION
- 26. ORBITING AND GRAVITY •AN OBJECT IS ORBITING WHEN IT IS MOVING AROUND ANOTHER OBJECT IN SPACE. •THE TWO MOVEMENTS THAT COME TOGETHER TO FORM AN ORBIT ARE SIMILAR TO THE HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL MOVEMENTS IN PROJECTILE MOTION.
- 28. • WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING DOES NOT DESCRIBE MASS? A. REMAINS CONSTANT C. A MEASURE OF GRAVITATIONAL FORCE b. A MEASURE OF MATTER D. MEASURED IN KILOGRAMS • IF A BASEBALL AND A CANNONBALL ARE DROPPED FROM THE SAME HEIGHT AT THE SAME TIME, AND THERE IS NO AIR RESISTANCE, WHICH BALL WILL HIT THE GROUND FIRST? • A. THE CANNONBALL WILL LAND FIRST. • B. THE BASEBALL WILL LAND FIRST. • C. THE BALLS WILL LAND AT THE SAME TIME. • D. THE BALL WITH THE LARGER VOLUME WILL LAND FIRST.
- 29. • WHAT FEATURE OF AN OBJECT DOES NOT AFFECT AIR RESISTANCE? A. ITS SIZE C. ITS SHAPE B. ITS CHEMICAL PROPERTIES D. ITS SPEED • IN WHAT DIRECTION(S) DOES GRAVITY ACCELERATE A PROJECTILE? A. BOTH VERTICALLY AND HORIZONTALLY C. VERTICALLY UPWARD b. VERTICALLY DOWNWARD D. HORIZONTALLY FORWARD • WHAT FORCE AFFECTS ALL MATTER, INCLUDING ALL OBJECTS IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM, BASED ON MASS? A.
