MASS AND INERTIA
Mass is the amount of matter in an object
Weight is the effect GRAVITY has on the amount of matter
in an object
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its
state of motion

and in the same direction unless acted upon by an
unbalanced force.

A force is a push or a pull.
When an object pushes or pulls another object, you
say that the first object exerts a force on the second
object.

A force is a push or a pull.
When an object pushes or pulls another object, you
say that the first object exerts a force on the second
object.
Like velocity and acceleration, force is a vector. Its
described by its strength and by the direction in which it
acts.

NET FORCE

NET FORCE
Often, many forces will act on an
object at a time.

NET FORCE
Often, many forces will act on an
object at a time.
The combination of all the forces
acting on an object is called the
NET FORCE

NET FORCE
Often, many forces will act on an
object at a time.
The combination of all the forces
acting on an object is called the
NET FORCE
The net force determines
whether an object moves and
also what direction it will
move.

FORCES AND SKYDIVING
The force of gravity is always trying to pull us toward Earth.
BEFORE THE JUMP:
The floor of the plane balances the force of gravity.
Monday, September 29, 14
FORCES AND SKYDIVING
DURING THE JUMP:
She initially accelerates due to the force of gravity.
The force of gravity is greater than the force of air resistance.
The faster she falls, the greater the air resistance.
Monday, September 29, 14
FORCES AND SKYDIVING
Eventually, the two forces will balance and she falls at a
constant speed.
Constant speed = no acceleration
Monday, September 29, 14
FORCES AND SKYDIVING
DURING THE JUMP - PARACHUTE TIME!
Parachute causes forces to be unbalanced.
The force of air resistance is greater than
the force of gravity.
The skydiver experiences negative
acceleration and air resistance decreases.
The forces will be balanced again and she
will fall at a constant speed.

BALANCED FORCES

BALANCED FORCES
A BALANCED FORCE is when EQUAL
forces are acting on an object in
OPPOSITE directions.
Monday, September 29, 14
BALANCED FORCES
A BALANCED FORCE is when EQUAL
forces are acting on an object in
OPPOSITE directions.
If forces are BALANCED, the object will
NOT accelerate.

BALANCED FORCES
A BALANCED FORCE is when EQUAL
forces are acting on an object in
OPPOSITE directions.
If forces are BALANCED, the object will
NOT accelerate.
If the forces are BALANCED, the net
force is ZERO.
