Look at pro- and jacere and predict the meaning of projectile.Revise your definition as needed as you read the chapter.Look for words with these Latin origins as you read the chapter.
Sample: I see that pro- means “forward” and that jacere means “to throw.”By combining the two I get the definition of projectile.

Chapter 10 Forces
Section 1:The Nature of Force
How is a force described?How do balanced and unbalanced forces affect an object’s velocity?
Chapter 10 Forces
Combining Force VectorsThe strength and direction of the individual forces determine the net force.
Chapter 10 Forces
Unbalanced ForcesUnbalanced forces acting on an object result in a net force and cause a change in the object’s velocity.
Chapter 10 Forces
Balanced ForcesBalanced forces acting on an object do not change the object’s velocity.

Section 2:Friction, Gravity, and
Elastic ForcesWhat factors determine the strength of the friction force between two surfaces?What factors affect the gravitational force between two objects?Why do objects accelerate during free fall?When is matter considered to be elastic?
Chapter 10 Forces
Gravity Between ObjectsThe force of gravity between objects increases with greater mass and decreases with greater distance.
Chapter 10 Forces
Mass and WeightThe gravitational force exerted on a person or object at the surface of a planet is known as weight.

Free Fall
The graph shows how the speed of an object in free fall changes with time. Use the graph to answer the following questions.
Chapter 10 Forces
Free Fall
9.8 m/s; 29.4 m/s.
Interpreting Graphs:
What is the speed of the object at 1 second? At 3 seconds?
Chapter 10 Forces
Free Fall
The slope is 9.8. The speed increases by 9.8 m/s each second.
Calculating:
Calculate the slope of the graph. What does this number represent?
Chapter 10 Forces
Free Fall
58.8 m/s
Predicting:
Use the slope that you calculated in Step 2 to predict the object’s speed at 6 seconds.
Chapter 10 Forces
Free Fall
The object’s speed increases at a constant rate.
Drawing Conclusions:
The graph has a constant slope. What does the slope tell you about the object’s motion?
Chapter 10 Forces
Air ResistanceFalling objects with a greater surface area experience more air resistance.

Second LawsWhat is Newton’s first law of motion?What is Newton’s second law of motion?
Chapter 10 Forces
Calculating ForceA speedboat pulls a 55-kg water-skier. The skier to accelerates at 2.0 m/s2. Calculate the net force that causes this acceleration.
Read and Understand
What information have you been given?Mass of the water-skier (m) = 55 kgAcceleration of the water-skier (a) = 2.0 m/s2
Chapter 10 Forces
Calculating ForceA speedboat pulls a 55-kg water-skier. The skier accelerates at 2.0 m/s2. Calculate the net force that causes this acceleration.Plan and SolveWhat quantity are you trying to calculate?
The net force (Fnet) = __What formula contains the given quantities and the unknown quantity?
a = Fnet/m or Fnet = m x aPerform the calculation.
Fnet = m x a = 55 kg x 2.0 m/s2
F = 110 kg • m/s2
F = 110 N
Chapter 10 Forces
Calculating ForceA speedboat pulls a 55-kg water-skier. The skier accelerates at 2.0 m/s2. Calculate the net force that causes this acceleration.
Look Back and Check
Does your answer make sense?A net force of 110 N is required. This does not include the force that overcomes friction.

Section 4:Newton’s Third Law
What is Newton’s third law of motion?How can you calculate the momentum of an object?What is the law of conservation of momentum?
Chapter 10 Forces
Newton’s Third Law of MotionNewton’s third law of motion states that if one object exerts a force on another object, then the second object exerts a force of equal strength in the opposite direction on the first object.

Calculating MomentumWhich has more momentum: a 3.0-kg sledgehammer swung at 1.5 m/s, or a 4.0-kg sledgehammer swung at 0.9 m/s?
Read and Understand
What information are you given?Mass of smaller sledgehammer = 3.0 kgVelocity of smaller sledgehammer = 1.5 m/sMass of larger sledgehammer = 4.0 kgVelocity of larger sledgehammer = 0.9 m/s

Calculating MomentumWhich has more momentum: a 3.0-kg sledgehammer swung at 1.5 m/s or a 4.0-kg sledgehammer swung at 0.9 m/s?Plan and SolveWhat quantities are you trying to calculate?
The momentum of each sledgehammer = __What formula contains the given quantities and the unknown quantity?
Momentum = Mass x VelocityPerform the calculation.
Smaller sledgehammer = 3.0 km x 1.5 m/s = 4.5 kg•m/sLarger sledgehammer = 4.0 km x 0.9 m/s = 3.6 kg•m/s
Chapter 10 Forces
Calculating MomentumWhich has more momentum: a 3.0-kg sledgehammer swung at 1.5 m/s or a 4.0-kg sledgehammer swung at 0.9 m/s?
Look Back and Check
Does your answer make sense?It is possible for the 3.0-kg hammer to have more momentum than the 4.0-kg one because it has a greater velocity.

Calculating MomentumPractice Problem
A golf ball travels at 16 m/s, while a baseball moves at 7 m/s. The mass of the golf ball is 0.045 kg and the mass of the baseball is 0.14 kg. Which has greater momentum?
Golf ball: 0.045 kg x 16 m/s = 0.72 kg•m/sBaseball: 0.14 kg x 7 m/s = 0.98 kg•m/sThe baseball has greater momentum.

Section 5:Rockets and Satellites
How does a rocket lift off the ground?What keeps a satellite in orbit?
Chapter 10 Forces
What Is a Satellite?A projectile follows a curved path. The horizontal and vertical motions act independently.
Chapter 10 Forces
What Is a Satellite?The faster a projectile is thrown, the father it travels before it hits the ground. A projectile with enough velocity moves in a circular orbit.
