Just based on pure force, which superhero is more likely to win? The Hulk (right), or Wolverine (left)? Explain.

Which force diagram best represents the movement of each superhero above?

*think which one looks like it represent the movment of each superhero the best?

Guided Notes: Simulation

Amplify Science
Unit 2: Force and Motion
Chapter 1: Force and Velocity
Lesson 5: Force Strength and Velocity Change
Activity: Simulation
You will conduct a series of Sim missions that will make objects reach their targets at the specified velocity. Your challenge is to complete each mission by exerting a force on the object only once. That force can be of any strength or direction.
  • Select the first mission, 1.5 Mission 1, from the menu bar in the top left, and read the mission task on the build screen.
  • Note the object's initial velocity in the data table and discuss with your partner how you might achieve the goal.
Initial Velocity: _________________m/s2
0

When you succeed at a mission, press ANALYZE. Record the strength of the force and the object’s change in velocity in the data table.

What is the relationship between changing force and velocity?
CFS:
  • Accurately identifies changes in the dependent variable by analyzing the movement of objects
  • Accurately describes the relationship between force strength and velocity

0

What is the relationship between direction of force and velocity?
CFS:
  • Accurately identifies changes in the dependent variable by analyzing the movement of objects
  • Accurately describes the relationship between force strength and velocity

Independent Practice:

0


How much force was applied to the moving object? Please show your work and circle your answer.
  • 10kg object
  • 5m/s2

0

How you could make the same object travel at a greater velocity to the right.
CFS:
  • Accurately identifies changes in the dependent variable by analyzing the movement of objects
  • Accurately describes the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration

0


What acceleration will the object experience? Please show your work and circle your answer.
  • 20N
  • 2kg

0

What element would you choose to change to cause the object above to accelerate faster?
CFS:
  • Accurately identifies changes in the dependent variable by analyzing the movement of objects
  • Accurately describes the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration

Exit Ticket:

Three objects that all appear the same size are struck by the SAME amount of force as seen in Image 1. After the force was applied their movement was recorded by Image 2.
2

Use your understanding of the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. Why do you think A travels so much faster than Object B and Object C?
CFS:
  • Accurately identifies changes in the dependent variable by analyzing the movement of objects
  • Accurately describes the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration

2

How would you recreate a similar result as in Image 2 using 3 objects with the same mass.

*Think, how would you get A to move the fastest and C to move the slowest if they weigh the same?
CFS:
  • Accurately identifies changes in the dependent variable by analyzing the movement of objects
  • Accurately describes the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration
