Moving in Straight Line at Constant Speed.: Overview

The document discusses forces and motion. It introduces Newton's Three Laws of Motion, which describe how forces affect the motion of objects. It provides examples of how pushing or pulling on an object (a force) can make it start moving, speed up, slow down, change direction, or stop. However, it questions whether forces always cause motion, asking if there are conditions where forces do not change an object's state of motion.

Overview:

In Grade 7, you described an object's motion in terms of:


 displacement
 speed or velocity
 acceleration
.... performed activities wherein you interpreted or created visual representations of the
motion of objects such as tape charts and motion graphs.
.... the concepts were arrived at by studying examples of Uniform Motion or objects
moving in straight line at constant speed.
....introduced to Non-Uniform Motion where the object covers unequal distances or
displacements at equal intervals of time.
When a jeepney starts moving - speeds up,
When a jeepney nears a stop sign - slows down

The jeepney is covering different displacements at


equal time intervals and hence: It is moving at a
uniform velocity. - The jeepney is accelerating.
Most of the motions we come across in our daily
life are Non- Uniform and the primary cause of
changes in motion is FORCE.
In this Module, you will learn about:
--- the effects of force on motion

Newton's Three Laws of Motion - the central


organizing principle of classical mechanics - will
be presented and applied to real-life situations.
At the end of Module - I, you will be able to answer the following
key questions:
1. Do forces always result in motions?
2. What are the conditions for an object to stay at rest, to keep
moving at constant velocity, or to move with increasing velocity?
3. How is force related to acceleration?
Motive Questions:
1. What makes objects move the way they do?
2. Why do objects move in different ways?
Why are some objects faster than the others?
3. What makes objects stay in place?
Effects of Force on an Object

A ball on top of the table.


Questions
Will this object move by itself?
How can we make this object move?
While it is moving, how can we make the object speed up
or slow down?
How can we make it stop?
How can we make it change its direction?
Effects of Force on an Object
An object can be moved by pushing or pulling.
In Physics, This push and pull is referred to as Force (F).
A ball on top of the table.
--If someone pushes the ball, it will move or roll across the
surface of the table.
--And when it is again pushed in the direction of its motion, it
moves farther and even faster.
--But when you push it on the other side instead, opposite to
the direction of its motion, the ball may slow down abd
eventually stop.
Effects of Force on an Object

Lastly, when you push in a direction different from its


original direction of motion, the ball also changes its
direction.

FORCE, therefore, can make objects move, move faster, stop,


or change their direction of motion.

But is this always the case? Can Force always bring about
change in the state of motion of an object?
