* Activity 1.28   :   Balanced forces.                                                            ( 10/13/17   Friday )


                 1.28.a    Copy these paragraphes at the paper given to you today :

                             1.   " Balanced forces are a consequence of the third Newton’s law or also called
                                  action-reaction law of motion. This law is used to explain how forces act when
                                  an objecte is in balance or EQUILIBRIUM and then the object remains in its place
                                  due to the action of several forces acting upon it. Like a lamp hanging from the 
                                  roof or a piece of wood floating on the sea ".

                              2.   " When two or even more forces acting on an object are equal in size but act in
                                    opposite directions, we say that they are balanced forces.
                                    If the forces on an object are balanced ( or if there are no forces acting on it ) 
                                    this is what happens " .  :

                                                     * An object that is not moving stays still.

                                                     * An object that is moving continues to move at the same speed
                                                        in the same direction.


                                                                                     ( 5 points ). 

 


                 1.28.b    Balance force is a consequence of the third Newton’s law, the action-reaction
                               force. Look the following link up and copy the definition in the paper given to you:


                                                                     Balance force.      ( 5 points ).


                                                       Once you have finished it all you write your 10 points at your score.



                           

                 1.28.c    Go to the following WEB and look it up. Next open a google doc file and
                               paste a picture about a lamp hanging from the roof , a piece of Wood
                               floating on the sea and a box placed on a table and below each pic explain
                               how each object does not move or is in equilibrium. Use vectors and forces
                               in order to explain how the balanced force act upon them.

                                                                                     ( 10 points ). 

     



                1.28.d     Look the following WEB up and explain in a piece of paper how the game
                               of tug of war can be a nice example about BALANCED FORCES.

               1.13.a   Measuring forces with a dynamometer :     ( 10 points ).


         MALIEK’S WORK ( Click here and download a pdf with your work for today Monday ).


      You already know that forces are measured in NEWTONS. But today we are using the appropriate device to measure forces, like weight, using the DYNAMOMETER. It is like a spring with a scale given in newtons in which we can measure different objects’ weights. The more the object weights the more the spring inside stretches and more newtons are given onto the scale.



                                                         1.13.a.1  Data table for dynamometers. ( 10 points ).

   

                  Students use different kinds of dynamometers to weight several different amount of objects with different weights. They have dynamometers in grams, in newtons and in kilograms at their reach. Once they weight the same objects as much in grams as in newtons they take notes about them at the paper given. They get used to read the different scales dynamometers show.

                            

                                                Dynamometer’s outline using rule, bag, etc.

                                      VECTORIAL AND ESCALAR MAGNITUDES.



* Activity 1.11  :  Vectorial and scalar magnitudes.                  ( 9/8/17   Friday )


1.11.a   Studying scalar and vectorial magnitudes  :     ( 10 points ).

        Magnitude is every property that can be messured, like speed, weight, acceleration, mass, density, electrical conductivity, velocity, force, capacity, volum, etc.

                             - Some magnitude only need a number or quantity to be defined like the capacity and volum a bottle has, like 30 oz, or 2 liters, etc.

                             - Another magnitudes, like forces, velocity, etc, need both a number and a direction or vector, because they need to be determined by a direction. We must indicate in which direction, using an arrow, it goes. For instance the velocity and acceleracion a car is having need a vector, but the speed does not because speed is only a number.

                                                                                MAGNITUDE

                                                                   Vectorial magnitude example.




1.11.b    Speed and velocity     ( 5 points ) :                                                  ( 9/11/17   Monday )


                 1.11.b.1  Reviewing test about vectorial and scalar magnitudes.  ( 5 points ).

     1.11.b.3 -  Difference between speed ( scalar magnitude ) and velocity , force ( vectorial magnitudes ).


                         Copy the following outline in your workbook in order to check the difference between the scalar variable of speed and the vectorial one of velocity :


                                Outline picture from whiteboard about speed and velocity.


                   1.11.b.3.1  Reviewing activity 1 about drawing vectors and forces.  ( 5 points ).
                                 
                                    Reviewing activity 2 about drawing vectors and forces.  ( 5 points ).


          Speed has no direction while velocity does. For example, if I say that I’m running at 10 mph, I have given you my speed. If I say that I’m running 10 mph north, then I have given you my velocity.

           The short answer is that velocity is the speed with a direction, while speed does not have a direction. Speed is a scalar quantity -- it is the magnitude of the velocity. Speed is measured in units of distance divided by time, e.g. miles per hour, feet per second, meters per second, etc.



                                                                                                                             ( 9/14/17   Thursday )

                   1.11.b.3.2   Make the following drawings at your workbook and indicate the forces the cars are doing, their vectors, directions, speed and velocities’ vectors : ( 10 points ).

 1.11.c    Forces, vectorial magnitude. Parts of a force   ( 10 points ).              


          1.11.c.1  Therefore we can say that velocity is a vectorial magnitude and speed is a scalar magnitude. The same about forces, when a force is indicated a vector (arrow) is needed as well as the number or value, so a force is a vectorial magnitude.

               * Activity 1.2  ( 20 points ):   Supporting structures.      ( 8/23/17   Wednesday )



   - ACTIVITY 1.2 : Forces are very important in every facets of our life. But today we’re going to analyze what they have to do with the structures that surround us.



     1.2.0    Review concepts from activity 1.1
                 At the following crossword look for five word-concepts we learnt at the last activity 1.1
 

                                                                      CROSSWORD

                                                                      ( Force’s effects )



     1.2.a   To understand what we’re going to do today we watch a very nice video first :
    

                                      VIDEO FOR BUILGING  A STRUCTURE’S STABILIZER.




 - Supporting structures.      ( 8/24/17   Thursday )


      1.2.b   Build that triangle structure in order to support a pile of books.
                 Use the materials given by your teacher to build it.




       1.2.c   After building the structure you have made and checked, talk in pairs about the reason why it is necessary to have a bunch of these triangle strucutures in order to support an object.  What is happening with the forces around these triangles?.
              
                        Write your answer at your notebook and show it and give it to your teacher.


 - Make a report of what you have done in class about building your stiffen structure.

                                                                LESSON 1

           FORCES AND INTERACTIONS.


   - Pre-task (5 points) : 

  Level test to assign current course students level.

                                          Test 




    - First of all, we should check what science is and what is used for, because we are studying forces and forces are just a part of the big branch of Physics (science).




  * Activiti 1.0 (5 points) :      WHAT SCIENCE IS.  ( 8/17/17 Thursday )

      1.0.a   Sit in groups of four and write in a sheet the answers you think are appropiate for the following questions :   (discussion in groups).

         - Copy the following questions in your notebook :
What science is? , what is it for? , How many parts does it have? , Which ones are we going to study? , do we use it in our daily life?...


                           Template to fill out :  WHAT SCIENCE IS.


       1.0.b  Watch this video and after check again the answers you gave to the previous questions and change the answers if needed.

                                  VIDEO 1

                                  VIDEO 2






          * Activiti 1.1 (10 points) :    Force’s effects.    ( 8/22/17  Tuesday )


1. In order to learn what a Force is and the effects Forces can produce we develope the ACTIVITY 1.1.
   
      1.1.a  In this activity you are going to follow your teacher instructions in order to manipulate the following materials : Two pieces of paper, a pen, marble, your own hands.
      
                 In pairs, with those objects, ask your partner what you must do to get the following effects :  

                       - Folding.
                       - Deformation, loss of shape.
                       - Breaking.
                       - Heating.
                       - Change of velocity, turn, spin, motion.






       1.1.b  Draw a chart at your notebook in which you write the effects a force can do.
                 Besides the effect write a little description of an example of you have done in order to get that effect.

                 Draw a chart like this :    CHART.






        1.1.c  We should try now to explain what a force is, what it is not an easy task.
                  Talk in a voice level 2 with your classmate about how to explain what a force is. Try to explain to each other without using the Word FORCE.
 




         1.1.d  Once you have talked for a while, and when your teacher tells you, watch the following video and after watching it, talk with your partner again trying to explain now with other words what you thing a force is.

                                         VIDEO 1.1.d  Forces and its effects.


                     After watching the video and talking with your classmate, write a proper definition at your notebook about what you think a force is. You can use an example (situation) in order to explain it.

           1.1.e    > Once you have written your own definition about what a force is, copy the following description of a force :

 

           A Force is :
 
                      a) A force is a push or pull upon an object resulting from the object’s interaction with another object.

   b) Whenever there is an interaction between two objects, there is a force upon each of the objects.

   c) When the interaction ceases, the two objects no longer experience the force. Forces only exist as a result of an interaction.
