1) A penny dropped into a wishing well reaches the bottom in 1.50 seconds. The question asks for the velocity at impact.
2) Superman fell from the top of the Eiffel Tower and hit the ground 7.8 seconds later. The question asks how fast Superman was traveling upon impact.
3) The document provides information about Newton's Laws of Motion, including definitions and examples of Newton's First, Second, and Third Laws.
1. Bellwork 2/2/2011 A penny dropped into a wishing well reaches the bottom in 1.50 seconds. What was the velocity at impact? In a bizarre but harmless accident, Superman fell from the top of the Eiffel Tower. How fast was Superman traveling when he hit the ground 7.8 seconds after falling?
2. 1. Who proposed the law of motion that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction? A. Albert Einstein B. Isaac Newton C. Galileo 2. Which branch of science deals with the study of motion, forces, & energy? A. Physics B. Chemistry C. Astronomy 3. Which law of motion states, “An object in motion will remain in motion and an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force?” A. 1st Law B. 2nd Law C. 3rd Law 4. Which is the correct way to calculate the speed of an object? A. Distance multiplied by time B. Distance divided by time C. Time divided by distance
4. What makes an object speed up, slow down or change directions? What determines how much an object speeds up or slows down
5. Newton’s first-Law of Inertia Inertia-the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion unless an outside force acts on the object In other words-things that are still want to stay still.
6. Everything resists changes in motion. Small things can accelerate with a small force Larger things take larger forces to move them.
7. Newton’s 1st An object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion maintains its velocity (speed in a particular direction) unless it experiences a net force (unbalanced force, outside force)
8. Newton’s 2nd The unbalanced force acting on an object equals the object’s mass times its acceleration F=ma Net force = mass * acceleration
9. More mass= smaller acceleration Less mass = bigger acceleration Force is measured in newtons 1N = 1 kg * 1 m/s2
12. Bellwork!!! 2/1/2011 Write down two examples of each of Newton’s three laws. Newton’s 1st Newton’s 2nd Newton’s 3rd Video
13. Gravity Force on an object due to gravity = weight On Earth, your weight is simply the amount of gravitational force exerted on you by the Earth. Weight = mass * free fall acceleration W=mg Weight is measured in Newton’s (because it is a force)
14. Free fall-when Earth’s gravity is the only force acting on an object Satellites and the space station are in constant free fall. When air resistance and weight are equal-objects meet terminal velocity. Projectile Motion=the curved path followed by an object that is thrown, launched, or otherwise projected near the surface of Earth.
