3 Properties of Linear Motion
- Speed
- Acceleration
- Velocity
-
Define Motion
A process of changing position relative to some position or object
-
Define Inertia
- tendency of an object to resist a change in motion; must have a force to
- oppose inertia
-
Define Force
push or a pull; apply that force to a mass it causes that object to accelerate
-
Define Rotation
spinning motion that takes place when an object rotates about an axis located within an object
-
Define Revolution
motion of an object turning around an axis outside the object (i.e. Earth in its orbit around the Sun)
-
Define Acceleration
- A change in motion where there can be an increase or decrease in speed or a change in direction; the rate at which the velocity of an object changes; change in velocity/time
- speed of a car changes from 15 m/s to 25 m/s in 20 secs.
(25-15 m/s)/20 sec = 10/20 = 0.5 m/s2
-
Define Speed
A change in position over a period of time
-
Define Velocity
A change in position over a period of time and the direction it is traveling in
-
Define Centripetal Force
Any force that causes an object to follow a circular path
-
Define Friction
Force that works against motion; one object rubs against another
-
Define Friction
Force that works against motion; one object rubs against another
-
Define Air Resistance
Friction with the air; collisions with the invisible air
-
Scalar Quantity
Described by magnitude (how large it is) only
-
Vector Quantity
Need both magnitude and direction
-
Rotational Inertia
The reluctance of an object to change its state of rotation
-
3 Controls that Change Velocity
- 1. Acceleration (gas pedal)
- 2. Change in Direction (steering)
- 3. Deceleration (brakes)
-
Newton’s 3 Laws of Motion
- Law of Inertia: if there is no force on an object then the velocity is constant
- Second Law: the acceleration of a mass is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass - F=ma
- Third Law: every force has an equal and opposite force; these two forces act on two different objects at the same time; force always occurs in pairs; used in rocket launches
-
Inertia Activities - pg. 43 & 44
Demonstrates the concept of inertia, which is the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion; must have a force to oppose inertia
-
Spinning Egg Puzzle - pg. 45
The insides of the raw egg are more difficult to spin than when cooked. The spinning force is exerted to the shell and not the contents. The coupling between the shell and the liquid is weak. Controlling the shell controls the contents of the cooked egg but not the raw egg. When you stopped the eggs and then let go, the liquid in the raw egg was still moving. This movement started the egg spinning again. If you spin the hard boiled egg hard enough, it will stand on the end converting some of its kinetic energy into potential energy. Research shows that the friction of the egg with the table provides the force required to raise the egg's center of gravity.
-
Rotational Inertia, Motion Activity - pg. 47
- (roll the 2 cans down the ramp, one with solid contents one with liquid)
- The rotational inertia depends not only upon the mass but also upon the manner in which the mass is distributed about the rotational axis. The gravity pulls down the ramp depends on the mass; therefore it's the distribution of the mass that matters.
-
Why is force of gravity on the moon less than on Earth?
The moon is smaller than the Earth therefore has less of a gravitational pull
-
Why do planets end up as balls?
Gravity
-
What is gravity?
Gravity is a force.
-
What does the force of gravity between 2 objects depend on?
- 1) mass of the objects
- 2) distance between the objects
-
Law of Universal Gravitation
The attractive force between two masses is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the distance squared.
2m between objects = 2 squared = 4 = 4/1 = 1/4
-
Center of Gravity
the point at which the mass of the object seems to be concentrated
-
Center of Mass
the mean location of the gravitational force acting on a body
-
Geometric Center
middle of a uniform object; the balance point
-
Balance
equity of distribution
-
Why were females able to pick up the chair and males couldn't?
Females have a lower center of gravity because they are smaller in the shoulders and larger in the pelvic area so their center of gravity is nearer the hips.
-
What is a support base?
The region bounded by body parts in contact with a support surface or surfaces, such as the ground, that exerts a counterforce against the body's applied force. The outline of a foot is the base of support when standing on one leg.

2 Kinds of Vestibular Organs
- Semicircular canals - 3 structures that detect rotational motion of the head
- Otolith - detects linear motion of the head; contains small sensory areas called macula that contain hair cells (receptors) with sillia on them and are imbedded in the otolith membrane (gelatinous). On top of the membrane are small piles of calcium carbonate that are the actual otoliths, more dense than surrounding area they have greater inertia detecting linear motion when acceleration occurs, sillia bend and sends messages to the brain.

Law of Conservation of Mass
Mass cannot be created/destroyed, although it may be rearranged in space, and changed into different types of particles. This implies that for any chemical process in a closed system, the mass of the reactants must equal the mass of the products
-
Conservation of Mass Activity - pg. 83
When determining whether the mass of an object is affected when it is cut or the shape is changed, and measuring the mass on a scale we find, the law of conservation of mass states that matter is neither created nor destroyed. Objects weigh the same whole, cut up, or shaped differently.
-
Conservation of Mass Alka-seltzer Activity - pg. 84
When determining what happens to the mass of an alkaseltzer tablet as it dissolves we find that the mass was the same for both the separate and combined parts because mass is always conserved. The states of the parts may change but the mass is fixed. When the lid is put on the jar, it makes a closed system. The gas does not escape so the mass is conserved.
-
Gas Takes Up Space Activity - pg. 85
(blowing up a balloon with alkaseltzer)
When demonstrating the alkaseltzer and water make a colorless gas, carbon dioxide, and that gases take up space we find that the alkaseltzer dissolves and produces a gal that blows up the balloon.
-
Properties of Carbon Dioxide Activity - pg. 86
(Heavier than Air, Colorless and Puts out Fires)
When demonstrating that carbon dioxide is colorless, heavier than air and does not support combustion we find that the carbon dioxide extinguished the match because it cannot support combustion. This was proved when the gas was poured into the small cup and the candle went out. As carbon dioxide is poured from one container to another, the level in each container changes. The large container now has less, and the small cup has more carbon dioxide than when we started. The level of gas in each container can be observed by lighting a match and lowering it into the container. Carbon dioxide is heavier than air and can be poured from one container to another. It will not support combustion, the candle will go out when it comes in contact with the gas.

Boiling Water in a Paper Cup Activity - pg. 104
- Results: The cup will not burn on the bottom where there is water. The top of the cup will still catch fire, but will burn only to water level.
- Conclusion: The cup is kept cool enough by the water to keep it from catching fire, therefore keeping it below it kindling point. The boiling T of water is 212 degrees F, but paper burns at 454 degrees F.
-
Temperature Scales Activity - pg. 105
Most thermometers depend upon the expansion of a fluid as the temperature increases.

-
What makes the Egg in a Bottle activity work? - pg. 82
- Result: The egg will bob up and down, then slowly descend into the bottle and finally pop into the bottle.
- Conclusion: The bobbing up and down of the egg is from the escaping air. The heat expanded and drove out part of the air trapped inside the bottle. When the paper stops burning, the air within the bottle cools and the inside pressure is reduced. The higher pressure outside forced the egg inside.
