Transcript of GRAVITY, MAGNETISM, AND ELECTRICITY UNIT FORCES AND INTERACTIONS.
GRAVITY
A plane falls from the sky, an apple falls from the tree these events take place because gravity.
Gravity is a force that pulls objects toward each other.
Issac Newton concluded that a force acts to pull objects straight toward the center of the earth.
UNIVERSAL GRAVITATION
Newton realized that gravity acts everywhere in the universe, not just on Earth.
It is the force that keeps all the planets in our solar system orbiting around the sun.
UNIVERSAL GRAVITATION
The law of universal gravitation state that the force of gravity acts between all objects in the universe.
This means that any two objects in the universe, without exception attract each other.
FACTORS AFFECTING GRAVITY
Two factors affect the gravitational attraction between objects: mass and distance
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. Mass is measured in kilograms
FACTORS AFFECTING GRAVITY
The more mass an object has, the greater its gravitational force.
In addition to mass, gravitational force depends on the distance between the objects. The farther apart two objects are, the lesser the gravitational force.
WEIGHT AND MASS
Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object
Weight is the amount of gravitational force exerted on an object
DON’T GET THESE TWO CONFUSED!!!!!!!!!!!
WEIGHT AND MASS
The force of gravity on a person or object at the surface of a planet is known as weight
Weight varies with the strength of the gravitational force but mass does not.
Astronaut in Space
Weight on Moon 270 N
Weight on Earth 1,617 N
Mass on Moon 165 kg
Mass on Earth 165 kg
GRAVITY AND MOTION
When you hold a book, you exert a force that balances the force of gravity.
When you let go of the book, gravity becomes an unbalanced force and the book falls
FREE FALL
When the only force acting on an object is gravity, the object is said to be in free fall.
Objects in free fall is accelerating
In free fall the forces of gravity is an unbalanced force, which causes an object to accelerate.
FREE FALL
Near the surface of the earth the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s²
This means that for every second an object is falling, its velocity increases by 9.8 m/s
In the absence of air, two objects with different masses fall at exactly the same rate.
AIR RESISTANCE
Theoretically, all objects are supposed to fall at the same rate but we know that this is not always the case.
Objects falling through air experiences a type of fluid friction called air resistance
Friction is the direct opposite to motion, so air resistance is an upward force exerted on falling objects
Not all objects have the same air resistance
Objects with more surface area has more air resistance
AIR RESISTANCE
Air resistance increases with velocity, or speed in a given direction.
As the object falling speeds up, the force of air resistance increases
At one point, an object falling will fall fast enough that the upward force of air resistance becomes equal to the downward force of gravity on the object.
AIR RESISTANCE
The object continues to fall, but its velocity remains constant.
The greatest velocity a falling object reaches is called its terminal velocity
Force of air resistance = weight of the object

ELECTRICITY
e- movement
negatively charged area positively charged area
The movement of electrons from one place to another
ATOMS AND CHARGE
All matter is composed of small particles called atoms
Atoms are composed of even smaller particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons
Electrons = negative charge
Protons = positive charge
Neutrons = no charge
CHARGES CAN EXERT FORCES
A charge is a physical property that describes how charged objects interact with one another.
A charge exerts a force----a push or a pull
There are two types of charges Positive Negative
Forces depend on weather the forces are the same type or opposite
CHARGES CAN EXERT FORCES
The law of electric charges states that like charges repel and opposite charges attract
THE ELECTRIC FORCE AND THE ELECTRIC FIELD The force between charged objects is an electric force
The strength of the electric force is determined by two factors: Size of the charges –greater the charge the greater the force Distance –closer together the charges are the greater the force
THE ELECTRIC FORCE AND THE ELECTRIC FIELD The electric force exists because charged particles have
electric fields around them.
An electric field is a region around a charged particle that can exert a force on another charged particle.
ELECTRIC FIELDS
Electrical field
two charges are separated
vectors (lines of force) point towards negative charges and away from positive charges
strength of field (magnitude)= distance between two charges
closer particles = stronger field
A force field that fills the space around electrical charges
STATIC ELECTRICITY
e- displaced & builds charge(not moving through a conductor)
Eventually electrons “jump” to a positively charged object
Examples
Plastic sheet & hair
Walking on carpet &
Touching a metal doorknob
Electrons are displaced WITHOUT moving througha conductor

MAGNETS
Elements that can be magnetic
1. Fe: Ironsoft iron loses magnetism easily
2. Co: Cobaltused to harden tools
3. Ni: Nickelused to make jewelry
Other magnets:
4. Compass
5. Earth
Materials whose atoms can be aligned
PROPERTIES OF MAGNETS
Any material that attracts iron, nickel, or cobalt is called a magnet.
All magnets have the following properties: Two poles Create a magnetic field Exert force
The parts of the magnet where the magnetic effects are the strongest are called the poles
If you attach a string to a magnet and let it hang there is one end that will always point itself to the north.
The part of the magnet that orients itself north is called the north pole of the magnet
The part of the magnet that orients itself south is called the south pole of the magnet
MAGNETIC POLES
The force of repulsion or attraction between the poles of magnets is called the magnetic force.
The magnetic force between magnets depend on how the magnets line up
MAGNETIC FORCES
A magnetic field exists in the region around a magnet in which magnetic forces can act.
MAGNETIC FIELDS
MAGNETIC FIELDS
Magnetic field lines
1. Leaves north pole & enters south pole
2. Lines closer together = stronger field
NOTICE
3. Strongest at the poles
4. Field lines start at the NORTH pole and travel towards the SOUTH pole
An area where the force exists; area where force is felt
WHAT MAKES A MATERIAL MAGNETIC?
ATOMS AND DOMAINS
All matter is made of atoms with moving electrons.
Moving electrons create a magnetic field.
In metal objects atoms are grouped together in tiny regions called domains
The arrangement of the domains in an object determines whether the object is magnetic
EARTH AS A MAGNET
Recall that if a magnet is allowed to hang freely it will point to the north .
In fact, every time you use a compass you take advantage of this property, because a compass contains a freely rotating magnet.
The real question is why do magnets point north?
In 1600 an English scientist named William Gilbert suggested that magnets point to the north because Earth itself is one giant magnet.
Each does behave as if it has a bar magnet running through its core.
ONE GIANT MAGNET
Why does the needle of a compass point north?
The magnetic pole of Earth that is closest to the geographic north pole is actually the magnetic south pole.
NORTH IS SOUTH
THE CORE OF THE MATTER
Scientists think that the Earth’s magnetic field is produced by the movement of electrons in the Earth’s core.
The inner core is a solid iron and nickel
The outer core is liquid metal because there is less pressure.
As earth rotates the liquid in the core flows and causes electric charges to move creating a magnetic field.
A MAGNETIC LIGHT SHOW One of the most spectacular effects caused by the Earth’s magnetic fields is
a curtain of light called and aurora.
An aurora is formed when charged particles from the sun interact gases in the atmosphere.
When the charged particles hit the gases they emit light.
Earth’s magnetic fields at like a barrier so you really only see an aurora near the north and the south pole
The lights seen near the northern magnetic pole is called aurora borealis or the northern lights

THE DISCOVERY OF ELECTROMAGNETISM
In 1820 Danish scientist Hans Christian Oersted discovered the relationship between electricity and magnetism.
Oersted concluded that an electric current produces a magnetic field
The direction of the magnetic field depends on the direction of the current.
Electromagnetism is the interaction between electricity and magnetism
ELECTRICITY MAGNETISM
How can you tell?Compass needle moves when near electrical current - creating an magnetic field
Electric currents cause magnetism
ELECTROMAGNET
Electromagnetisma moving charge (electricity) produces a magnetic field
More coils of wire= more current = stronger magnet
Bigger battery = stronger magnet
A magnet with a field produced by an electric current
ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION
1831 – Michael Faraday (England) and Joseph Henry (US) independently discovered that electric current could be produced by moving a magnet in and out of a coil wire

MAGNETISM ELECTRICITY
How can you tell?
Electromagnetic induction
moving a magnet in and out of a coiled wire created an electrical current without a battery
Moving magnet can generate electricity
• Both can cause each other
• Likes repel
• Opposites attract
SUMMARY OF E & M
