This ppt tells us about the balanced and unbalanced forces. When balanced forces have applied to an object, the speed of the object remains constant but when unbalanced forces are applied speed of the object changes.
1.
2. Learning Objectives • I can recognize forces that affect the motion of matter. • I can compare balanced and unbalanced forces. • I can determine the net force on an object.
3. What is a force? • A force is a push or pull that causes an object to move, stop, or change direction • In physics a force is anything that makes an object accelerate • If an object is stationary, it won’t start moving without a force.
4. Force • Forces come in pairs • Forces have a magnitude and a direction • Force is a vector quantity Magnitude: 5N 5N, north (up) Direction: north (up)
5. Force Measurement and Units • SI unit for force is the Newton • A Newton is a force that causes a 1kg mass to accelerate at a rate of 1m/s/s. • 1 N (Newton) = 1 kg * m/s/s • We use a spring scale to measure force.
6. Combining Forces • Net Force – The overall force acting on an object after all forces are combined. - Forces in the same direction we add them. 10N 10N Net Force = 10N + = - Forces in opposite directions you subtract them. 10N 7N Net Force = 3N - =
7. Forces in the Same Direction • When forces are applied in the same direction, they are added to determine the size of the net force.
8. Forces in Different Directions • When two forces act in opposite directions, you subtract the smaller force from the larger force to determine the net force. • The net force will be in the same direction as the larger force.
9. Combining Forces at Right Angles • Use the Pythagorean Theorem. - a2 + b2 = c2. - Can only use if adding only 2 vectors that make a right hy po c ten b us e a
10. Combining Forces at Right Angles • Use the Pythagorean Theorem - a2 + b2 = c2. - ex. What is the resultant force if you have a force 3N South and another force 4N West and show the diagram. a2 + b2 = c2 4N West c2 = 42 + 32 c2 = 16 + 9 3N c2 = 25 South = 5N South c = 5 N SW West
11. Balanced and Unbalanced Forces • Forces occur in pairs and they can be either balanced or unbalanced
12. Balanced Forces: The forces in each direction are “equal”. If more than one force is present, it does not have to cause an acceleration on an object. If another force “balances” the first out, there will be no acceleration at all. Think: If both guys (who weight the same) pull on a rope in opposite directions, with an equal amount of force, how much will they move?
13. Balanced Forces • Balanced forces do not cause a change in motion • They are equal in size and opposite in direction • The net force is 0
14. Example: Ground pushes up Gravity pulls down Gravity pulls down on you… The ground pushes back up… If these football players push THIS KEEPS YOU WHERE YOU ARE! on each other equally as hard, will either one move?
15. More Balanced Forces… 5N 5N 5N 5N Forces may cancel each other and produce no movement =No Acceleration!
16. “Unbalanced” Forces If the multiple forces acting at one time are not balanced out (equal), then acceleration can/will occur on the object! Kicking the ball causes it to move quickly in a different direction If one side of the scale has more mass, then gravity will accelerate it down!
17. Unbalanced Forces • An unbalanced force always causes a change in motion • The net force is greater than 0 • When unbalanced forces act in opposite directions you can find the net force – Net force • Magnitude – The difference between the two forces • Direction – Direction of the largest force
18. Unbalanced Forces 3 N, right – 6 N, left = 3N, left
19. Unbalanced Forces 4 N, left – 10 N, right = 6N, right
20. Unbalanced Forces 5 N, right + 10 N, right =15N, right
21. Multiple forces can combine to move an object Unbalanced Forces that has too much inertia for one force alone. The Cause Acceleration forces “add together”! Adding Forces: What you5Njust saw was like two people Random Object pushing on the same 5 N box. Notice that all the new forces are pointed in the same direction, and they add together! So, instead of only 5N of force pushing the object; now there are 10 N of force pushing! All by himself, one person might not be able to push a car. But with extra friends pushing, it becomes much easier! The forces add together.
22. Unbalanced Forces If forces are not equal and are acting in opposite directions, a negative acceleration can/will occur. The Cause Acceleration forces will subtract from each other! Subtracting Forces: 5N Object 5N 5N Notice that the forces are “unequal” and pointed in the opposite direction. So they are “unbalanced” and work against each other – or one partially cancels the other. The end result is that the forces on the left are slowed down by the single force on the right
23. Review Balanced Forces Balanced No 10N 10N Push Acceleration Net Force = i.e. Pushing a or change in 0 Car motion Balanced No Acceleration or Net Force = 10N 10N Pull change in 0 i.e. Tug-o-war motion
24. Review Un-Balanced Forces Add Together Un-Balanced 10N Faster Net Force > 10N Same 0 Acceleration Direction Subtract from each other Un-Balanced 10N Slower Net Force > 10N Opposite 0 Acceleration Direction
