Assignment #2 Car CrashesLO: I can model the sum of forces acting on an object using observational descriptions (down, up) and symbols (arrows). EQ: How do you describe speed? Why do things bounce back when they collide?
• Force of gravity is pushing down on cup
• Friction of the cup on the table cloth is pulling the cup in direction of the tablecloth pull
•Normal force: the support force exerted upon an object in contact with another stable surface
• Friction keeps the cup on the table cloth and will go in the direction of the tablecloth pull
• The tablecloth must be pulled fast enough to overcome friction
• The cup must be heavy enough to stay in the same place

•Notes side
•Car Quickwrite: Write a claim about what you think will happen to the cars.
•Task Description: To investigate laws of motion by observing 3 car scenarios and to model forces acting on an object. To calculate speed.
•How to use the speed formula
•Task Card: Exploring Motion and Forces
•You will be filling out the data handout
•Discuss Class Data:
•What did you notice?
•What are you unclear about still?
•What information could be gathered at each set-up?

Notes on Forces
• Force – a push or pull exerted by an object on another object
• EX: hand exerts force on bow
• Contact force: force that is exerted when two objects are touching
Force- a push or pull
• Noncontact force: force that one object exerts on another when they are not touching
• Examples: • Jump in the air, pulled down
• Gravitational force exerted by Earth
• Magnetic force
• Electric force
Force is a vector• Force has a magnitude (size) and
direction
• Unit for force is the newton
• Newton = N
• Represented by an arrow in the direction of motion
• Length represents size (speed)
• You use 20 N of force to lift a 2 L bottle of water
Combining Forces – same direction
• When forces are acting on an object in the same direction, ADD them to get the net force
• Force 1 + Force 2 = NET FORCE
**forces are vectors so you must specify the direction
Combining Forces – opposite directions
• When two forces are in opposite direction acting on the same object:
• Choose a positive and negative direction, then add the forces
1. Choose a positive direction (ex: right, +150 N)
2. The other direction is a negative number (Ex: left, -100 N)
3. Add them together (Ex: 150 N + (-100 N) = 50 N )
Unbalanced and balanced forces
• Unbalanced forces: an object moves when the net forces on an object is not zero
• Balanced forces: when the net forces on an object is zero, it doesn’t move
Unbalanced forces and Motion
• Kick a ball the net force moves the ball
• Unbalanced forces on objects cause them to move
• Unbalanced forces on an object cause them to accelerate
Balanced Forces and Motion
• When the forces on an object are balanced, the object does not move
Types of Forces
1. Gravity - Attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass• The attractive force depends on mass of the objects and distance between
them
2. Friction – force that opposes movement between two surfaces in contact
3. Elastic Forces – force exerted by a material when it is stretched or compressed• Normal force (compression) – force exerted by an object that is perpendicular
to the surface of the object
Normal force
• Normal force- force exerted by an object that is perpendicular to the surface
• Normal Force: the force that the ground pushes back up with, if there is no normal force, a person would sink into the ground
• A type of elastic force because the two objects push against each other
