• Motion• Motion can be described as change in position of

a body.• Average velocity (speed) is the change of distance

of an object over time .• Velocity Graphs •

V = distance time

• Velocity (v) is the slope (rise over run) of a distance (d) vs. time (t) graph.

• 1.The speed of sound in human tissue is

about 1600 m/s. If an ultrasound

pulse takes 1.5 x 10-5s to travel

through a tissue, what is the thickness

of the tissue?

A 2.4 km

B 2.4 m

C 23 cm

D 24 mm

Given:

speed= 1600m/s

Time = 1.5 x 10-5 s

Distance = speed x time

1600m/s x 1.5x 10 -5 s

=.024 m

= 24 mm

Definition of a Force

• A Force is a push or a pull

The unit of force is Newton.

Balanced Force

• A force that produces no change in an object’s motion because it is balanced by an equal, opposite force.

Unbalanced Forces

Are forces that results in an object’s motion being changed.

+ =

Friction

A force that acts in a direction opposite to the motion of two surfaces in contact with each other.

Friction

Friction causes an object to slow down and stop.

Since the amount of energy stays constant, the energy becomes heat.

Answer –A . More force exerted less time it will take .

• Newton’s 1st Law-

Inertia or Newtons 1st Law

• Tendency for an object to stay at rest or moving in a straight line at a constant speed.

• The mass (symbol is “m”, measured in kg) of an object determines its inertia

Newton’s Second LawAcceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The

greater the mass (of the object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force needed (to accelerate the object).

F = ma So, if the mass (m) is 1000 kg and the acceleration (a)

is .05 m/s2 then:

F = 1000 kg x .05 m/s2 = 50 N

• Weight (pull of gravity) is a commonly measured force (measured in N), calculated by F=mg, g is the acceleration due to gravity 9.8 m/s2

http://www.starbaseca.org/images/CAIR027.CMX

1. If the weight of an object is 60 N on earth what is its mass?

• Weight = mg

• Mass = weight / acceleration due to gravity

What is the net force exerted on a 90.0 kg

race-car driver while the race car is

accelerating from 0 to 44.7 m/s in 4.50 s?

A 9.8 N

B 20 N

C 201 N

D 894 N

Force = m x a

a = 44.7 m/s- 0 m/s = 9.93 m/s2

4.5 s

m = 90.0 kg

F = 90.0 kg x 9.93 m/s2 = 894 N

Why use a machine?

• In an ideal (perfect) machine the work put into the machine equals the work put out by that machine (Win = Wout)

• Why is this impossible?

• No real machine is 100% efficient… They do not put out the same amount of work that is put in.

• Efficiency of a machine is work output / work input x 100 %

• Efficiency = Wout x 100%

Win

Machines make work easier

• The ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) of a machine is the number of times the output force is larger than the input force IMA=Fout/Fin

• A machine can only make this happen by moving the input force through a farther distance than the output force

• Fin • din = Fout • dout

48 The diagram shows an electric motor lifting a 6 N block a distance of 3 m. The total amount of electrical energy used by the motor is 30 J. How much energy does the motor convert to heat?

F 9 J

G 12 J

H 18 J

J 21 J

Total work out put = 6N X 3m = 18 J

Work input = 30 J

Work converted to heat = 30 J -18J = 12 J

18a. An Automobile engine produces 15J of work for every 100J of energy consumed. What is the engine’s efficiency?

% Efficiency = work input x 100%

work out put

= 15 J x 100%

100 J

= 15 %

18b. If a machine is 36% efficient and can provide 75J of work output, how much work must be put in the machine?

Efficiency = Wout x 100% Win

36% = 75 J X 100% Win

Work input = 75 J X 100%

36%

= 208 J

• Simple machines make our work easier by enabling us to use less mechanical effort to move an object. Often several simple machines are combined in complex machines.

• Remember, the ideal mechanical advantage of a

machine (IMA) is the number of times the output force is larger than the input force IMA = Fout/Fin

• A machine can only make this happen by moving the input force through a further distance than the output force

We use machines to reduce the amount of force applied, but at the sake of more TOTAL work required.

6 Types of simple machines

• Some Simple Machines:

• Inclined planes

• Screws

• Pulleys

• Wheel and axle

• Levers

• Wedge

Work• Work: using a force

for a distance

• W = F x d

• The work done by forces on an object = changes in energy for that object.

• Work and Energy are measured in Joules

• 1 Joule = 1 Newton • meter

When you push a wall and the wall does not move, the distance moved is zero, so the work done is zero too.

A accelerated rapidly

B remained motionless

C decreased its velocity

D gained momentum

45 If a force of 100 newtons was exerted on an object and no work was done, the object must have —

Work = Force x Distance

Work = 0 Force = 100 N so

0 J = 100 N x d

distance must be 0

It did not move!

Energy

Is defined as the Ability to do Work

Energy has Two

Types: Kinetic (Energy of Motion) Kinetic (Energy of Motion) and and Potential (Stored Energy)Potential (Stored Energy)

Kinetic Energy

KE = ½ m v 2 Ex: A moving car has the ability to

do work on the light pole if it hits it.

A 1-kilogram ball has a kinetic energy of 50 joules. The velocity of the ball is ---

A 5 m/s

B 10 m/s

C 25 m/s

D 50 m/s

K.E. = ½ mv2

50 J= ½ (1 kg) v2

100= V2

V= 10 m/s

Circle the one that has more kinetic energy

• A 25 kg mass or a 30 kg mass going 5 m/s.

• Two 10 kg masses, one going 75 m/s, one going 45 m/s.

• A car at rest or a car rolling down a hill.

• A heavy bike or a light bike.

Potential Energy 2 possibilities

Potential energy (PE) is stored energy

1. Gravitational PEEx: Object lifted to some height

2. Elastic PE Ex: A stretched or compressed object (spring or rubber band )

Gravitational Potential Energy or “Will it fall?”

GPE = m g h

- m is the mass of the

object in kg,

- g is the acceleration

due to gravity which is

9.8 m/s2 on earth

- h is the height in meters

Law of Conservation of Energy

• Energy can change forms, but is never created nor destroyed

• Loss in one form = gain in an another form

• A falling object speeds up as it falls to the ground; PE decreases as KE increases. The KE it has at impact = the PE it had before it fell.

Example: A falling object speeds up as it falls to the ground;

PE decreases as KE increases, the KE it has at impact with the ground is equal to the PE it had before it fell

Energy can be conserved in Non-Mechanical forms

The chemical energy in a battery transforms into electrical energy

What is the approximate difference in gravitational potential energy of the two shaded boxes?

A. 19JB. 39JC. 59JD. 79J

GPE =m x g x h

2.0kg x 9.8m/s2 x 3.0 m =58.8 J

2.0kg x 9.8 m/s2 x 1 m =19.6 J

59.8-19.6= 39.2 J

What is the potential energy of the rock?

A. 59,000 joulesB. 64,600 joulesC. 93,100 joulesD. 121,600 joules

G.P.E = m x g x h = 95kg x 9.8m/s2 x 100m

= 93100 J

Power

• Power: the rate at which WORK IS DONE.• P = Work/time• Power is measured in WATTS• 1 watt = 1 Joule 1 sec• Power can be increased by DECREASING

the amount of time needed to do the same amount of work.

What was the power output of the lift?

A 489 W

B 1815 W

C 4796 W

D 30,294 W

Power = work / time

Work = force x distance

= 22.8 J

P= work / time

P= 22.8 J / .60s

= 38 W
