Force & Motion: Physics For Grade 7-Cute

This document provides information about force, motion, distance, displacement, speed, velocity, and acceleration in physics. It defines key terms like force, contact forces and non-contact forces. It explains the difference between distance and displacement and provides examples of calculating speed, velocity and acceleration using common formulas. Examples include calculating the speed of a runner and the acceleration of a cyclist from their changes in position over time.

Physics for Grade 7-Cute

FORCE & MOTION


FORCE
• push or pull
• change shape/size
• stop or start an object
• change direction/motion
• Spring Balance – used to measure force
• N or Newton (F=ma)
• 1 N is a force that will give 1 kg object an
𝑚
acceleration of 1 𝑠2 (10 N = 10 kg object
𝑚
accelerates at 1 𝑠2)
Kinds of Force
1. Contact – direct contact between 2 surfaces or object
• Friction (static, sliding, rolling)
2. Non-contact – forces acting at a distance
• Gravitational – attraction (weight)
• Magnetic – repulsive/attractive
• Electrical – attract/repel
• Nuclear – hold nucleus together
1. What is the position of the
dog?
2. What is the position of the
tree?
3. What is the position of the dog
with respect to the house?
4. What is the position of the tree
with respect to the dog?
5. What is the initial position
of the ball?
6. What is its final position?
7. What is the position of
the ball at 10 seconds?
8. At what time is the
position of the ball equal to
5 meters?
Motion
• Can be described as a change in position

• Reference point – something stationary


and fixed; use to compare whether an
object moves by comparing its position to
fixed point
Distance vs. Displacement
• Distance – total length
• Displacement – length and direction

A B C

• A man walks 20 steps forward from Point A to B and moves 5 more to point C, total distance – 25 steps,
while displacement is 25 steps forward
• If he walks 15 steps backward from Point C to D, then the man’s total distance is 40 steps (25 forward+15
backward) while the displacement is 10 steps forward. It will become 0 if he walks back to original position
Exercise
You run from your house to a friend's house that is 2 km
away. You then walk to come back home.

• a. What distance did you travel?


• b. What was the displacement for the entire trip?
Speed, Velocity, Acceleration
• Speed – how fast object is
moving (m/s)
➢Speed = distance/time
• Velocity – speed and direction

distance of 672 m at a speed of 96
m/s?

Given Unknown Equation Solution Answer

s (speed)= 5 m/s 𝑑=𝑠𝑥𝑡 𝑚


t (time) = 1 min. = 60 secs.
d (distance) d= 5 𝑠 (60 𝑠) 300 m
𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 = 𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑒𝑑 𝑥 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒
