                 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 ).

                               floating on the sea and a box placed on a table and below each pic explain

         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.

    - If you have enough more time do a powerpoint presentation telling about Hooke’s Law, what it is, what it represents, what it talks about springs, about the Hooke’s law graph, and talking something about who Robert Hooke was. A general presentation about the Hooke’s law issue.

7th GRADE SCIENCE : Article 14 : Escalar and vectorial magnitudes. Forces and directions.

                                      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.

     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 :

                   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.

          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.
