The Body in Motion: Core 2 test revisionWhat is Electric Force? Electric force is just one of many types of forces in the world of physics. Forces are how and why things move, and can be explained by Newton's Laws of Motion. On the smallest scale, electric force is the resulting interaction between two charged particles. These charges can be either positive or negative. Larger objects can be charged by having an abundance of either of these particles, and therefore can create an electric force on a larger scale. Electric force is the reason why hair will sometimes stand up on its own and is also why we have electricity, allowing us to live in the modern world with lights and technology. Even out in nature electric force is present, as electric force causes lightning to strike. Electric force is fundamental to our everyday way of living. Reviewing Newton's Laws of Motion Newton's Laws of motion are the basic principles or ground rules that are applied all across physics. They describe how objects move and can be used to describe the interaction of charges. They are the following: An object in motion will stay in motion unless an external force is applied The force exerted on an object is equal to the mass times the acceleration of the object. ( ) Every force has an equal and opposite force Newton's laws explain how and why charged particles move. Since there is a force involved (e.g. electric force), particles will move around, which is explained by the first law. The second law describes how acceleration of charges can be calculated once the electric force is known. The third law explains how attractive and repulsive forces between charged objects are equal and opposite. Electric Force Examples and Types of Charge As previously mentioned, there are only two types of charges; positive and negative. Two like charges will repel (or move away from) each other, and two opposite charges will attract (or move towards) each other. In other words, two positive or two negative charges will repel, while a positive and a negative charge will attract. Opposite charges will attract while like charges will repel. Attraction versus Repelling Forces Notice how the forces acting upon each other are equal and opposite, as Newton's third law states. Both charges are exerting forces onto each other. Charges in Atoms An atom is made up of three types of particles; protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have a negative charge. There are no positive or negative charges smaller than protons and electrons. Objects on a larger scale result in an overall positive or negative charged due to an uneven distribution of protons to electrons. An atom consisting of more protons than electrons would be considered positive, and an atom with more electrons than protons would be considered negative. Protons are held close to the nucleus and are tightly bound to an atom, so it's difficult for protons to escape an atom. Electrons, on the other hand, are much further away from the nucleus of an atom. This makes it much easier for them to be removed from an atom. Electrons can leave or join atoms, making them positive or negative depending on the amount of protons. Similarly, for the bigger picture, overall materials and objects with more electrons than protons would be considered negative, and vice versa. Electric Force Examples Hair standing up: When hair is brushed, the hairbrush can strip electrons from hair strands, resulting in the hair being positively charged. This addition of electrons to the hairbrush in turn makes the hairbrush negatively charged. Since the hair is now positively charged, and like forces repel, hair strands will move away from each other, resulting in the hair standing up. Current electricity: All of our everyday technology is powered through current electricity, which is the consistent flow of electrons through conductive materials. This flow is caused by the electric force, as the electrons flow from a negative source to a positive source. Lightning: During a storm, it is common for an abundance of electrons to build up on the bottom of a cloud, making that part of the cloud negatively charged. Positive charges in the ground start to gather on the surface or even on tall objects such as trees as they are attracted towards the negatively charged undersides of clouds. Lightning strikes as a result of these charges becoming extremely built up. Lightning is caused by electric force Lightning Electric Force Equation: Coulomb's Law The magnitude of the electric force, or the amount of force in which objects repel or attract, depends on the distance between the two charged objects and the amount of charge each object carries. The electric force is stronger the closer together the two charges are, and weaker as the two charges move apart. Electric force is also stronger with more charge, and weaker with less charge. This effect on electric force is predictable, and is known as Coulomb's Law. It can be calculated using a mathematical equation, and the resulting magnitude of electric force is measured in Newtons. Coulomb's Law Electric force can be calculated using the following equation known as Coulomb's Law: In this equation, F is the electric force measured in newtons, K is a constant known as the electrostatic constant, and are charges one and two measured in coulombs, and is the radial distance in meters between the two charges. Since the distance is squared and on the denominator, the electric force drops off exponentially as charges move away from each other. This means that the Electric force is inversely proportional to distance. As charges move away from each other, the electric force between them gets smaller and smaller, until the force is negligible. The amount of charges are in the numerator of this equation, making the magnitude of the force larger with more charge. This means that the force is directly proportional to the amount of charge. When the charges are smaller, the amount of force will be smaller. When there is a lot of charge, the force will be much greater. When calculating the electric force using Coulomb's law, the resulting answer only gives the magnitude of the force and not the direction. In order to know the direction, you must know the types of charges. Once again, like forces repel, and unlike forces attract. It helps to draw a visual representation, or a free-body diagram, of the charges and forces acting upon them in order to understand the resulting force direction. Electric Field versus Electric Force An electric field is a direct result of an electric force. Its pure definition is electric force per unit charge, and can be thought of as a mapping of the force vectors. An electric field is present anytime there is an electric force. Therefore, when there are two or more charged particles, there is a surrounding electric field. The direction of the electric field is the direction a positive charge would flow if it were placed within the field. The electric field moves out from a positive charge and goes into a negative charge. Particles with unlike charges move towards each other, and their corresponding electric field lines move out from the positive charge and into the negative charge. The strength of the force at any given point can be seen through the spacing of the electric field lines. The electric force is strongest where the electric field lines are closest together, and weaker as these lines move apart. Like Coulomb's law expresses, electric field lines show how the electric force is strongest with a minimum distance between the two charges. Unlike charges will result in a repelling force, and the resulting electric field is a visual representation of this effect. Electric fields of two positive charges have the electric field moving out away from both of them. As with two negative charges, the field lines move in towards each negative. Lesson Summary An electric force is created when there are two or more charged particles or objects. These charges can be either positive or negative. Like charges will attract (move towards each other) while unlike charges will repel (move away from each other). As Newton's third law suggests, the forces acting upon each other are both equal and opposite. Electrons and protons within an atom are the two smallest types of charges there are. Electrons carry a negative charge while protons carry a positive charge. Electrons can be easily removed or added to atoms, making the overall charge positive or negative. Objects with more electrons than protons are negatively charged. Electric force is strengthened with increased charge and a shorter distance between the charges. This effect is known as Coulomb's law and can be calculated with the Coulomb's law equation. The magnitude of the force is measured in Newtons, and the direction can be determined by knowing whether the charges are attracting or repelling each other. An electric field is present wherever there is an electric force. The direction of this electric field is the direction a positive charge would flow if it where to be dropped in the field, which is from the positive to the negative.Digestive System. Teeth help break down the food to small pieces. Tongue moves food to the back of the mouth and to the opening of the esophagus. Saliva is 99% water and enzymes that begin to chemical digestion. Small Intestine is a coiled tube like organ is 20feet long. This is when nutrients are taken up by the body. Villus is the spot that nutrients are pass out of the small intestine to the body. Liver is a large organ that produces bile to digest fat. Gallbladder produces bile as needed into the small intestine. Pancreas is an organ that produces enzymes and release directly into the small intestine. Colon or large intestine is an organ that absorbs most of the liquid from undigested food. Rectum is where solid waste is stored. Anus is the opening to the out side . The main function of the digestive system is to turn the food into simple sugars, amino acids, and carbohydrates. This is fuel for the human body. The first stage of the digestive system is the mouth and teeth. The teeth grid up the food. Which saliva is mix with the food to break the food down. The food is swallowed and wave like motion moves the food to the stomach. The second stage is the stomach breaks down the food. The stomach churns the food. Mixing the food with the gastric juices. This is done with the gastric juices are mix in the stomach. The glands in the stomach produce the juices. The gastric juices break down the proteins. Then the food is passed into the small intestine. In the small intestine which is about 20ft long. This is where the small intestine absorbs the nutrients from the food. Most digestion takes place in the duodenum of the small intestine. Small finger like projections called villus that collect the nutrients. These nutrients are passed into the bloodstream. The three organs that help in digesting the food. Liver, and gallbladder. Liver produces bile , a substance that aids in digestion of fats. Gallbladder holds and releases bile into the small intestine as needed. Pancreas lies across the back of the abdomen. The pancreas produces enzymes that are necessary to break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Cells in the pancreas are called Islet of Langerhans, which produce two hormones (glucagon, and insulin. These regulate sugar in the blood. Insulin is a hormone that stimulates the liver to convert glucose to glycogen. Glucagon is a hormone that stimulates the liver to convert glycogen to glucose. Rotations In a doubles game, the players have to take turns hitting the ball with their partner. After each shot, a player has to move out so that the partner can get into the best position for the next shot. It is very important that both players establish an effective rotation pattern and alternative rotation patterns. 1. Circular Rotations (Figure 16.1) Each player moves in a circular way behind the partner after each shot and should be ready to move up and hit. Both players move the same way and two left-handed or right-handed aggressive players can use this movement. 125 16.1 circular rotations 2. Up and Down Rotations (Figure 16.2) Each player moves toward table in a diagonal way to return a shot then back up the same way. One left-handed and one right-handed pair use this rotation. 16.2 up and down rotations 3. T-Rotations (Figure 16.3) The front person moves sideways and the back person moves back and forth. Mostly pairs of one fast style player (front) and one loop style player (back), or one close-table offensive player (front) and one slice style player (back) use this rotation. 16.3 âTâ rotations 4. Triangle Rotations (Figure 16.4) Each player using this rotation pattern moves to sides to return shot, then step back to the middle for the next shot in a triangle way. It is used often to return angles shots to sides and it is similar to the circular rotation. 126 16.4 triangle rotations Teamwork and Strategies 1. Establish a good rotation and movement patterns. 2. Create chances for your partner when returning a shot or serve. 3. Cover your partner's weaknesses. 4. Attack the weaker opponent. 5. Hit to the opponent who just finished the shot and is moving away. 6. Use your best serves and shots in games to ensure your best play and reduce mistakes. 7. Change serves and shots to keep opponents guessing what the next motion will be. 8. Change speed, power, lines and placement of the shots and serves to avoid opponents adapting to them. 9. Combine spin and flat serves to force opponent make more mistakes. 10. Attack opponentsâ weaknesses. 11. Avoid the strength of opponent. For example, hit to the backhand if opponent is strong at forehand, or use more short chop shots if opponent is very aggressive. 12. Hit to the openings, weak side, and an opponent's body.5-PS3-1. Use models to describe that energy in animalsâ food (used for body repair, growth, motion, and to maintain body warmth) was once energy from the sun.Cohesion and Adhesion Water molecules stick to each other as a result of hydrogen bond- ing. An attractive force that holds molecules of a single substance together is known as cohesion. Cohesion due to hydrogen bonding between water molecules contributes to the upward movement of water from plant roots to their leaves. Related to cohesion is the surface tension of water. The cohe- sive forces in water resulting from hydrogen bonds cause the mol- ecules at the surface of water to be pulled downward into the liquid. As a result, water acts as if it has a thin âskinâ on its sur- face. You can observe waterâs surface tension by slightly overfill- ing a drinking glass with water. The water will appear to bulge above the rim of the glass. Surface tension also enables small crea- tures such as spiders and water-striders to run on water without breaking the surface. Adhesion is the attractive force between two particles of differ- ent substances, such as water molecules and glass molecules. A related property is capillarity (KAP-uh-LER-i-tee), which is the attrac- tion between molecules that results in the rise of the surface of a liquid when in contact with a solid. Together, the forces of adhe- sion, cohesion, and capillarity help water rise through narrow tubes against the force of gravity. Figure 2-11 shows cohesion and adhesion in the water-conducting tubes in the stem of a flower. Temperature Moderation Water has a high heat capacity, which means that water can absorb or release relatively large amounts of energy in the form of heat with only a slight change in temperature. This property of water is related to hydrogen bonding. Energy must be absorbed to break hydrogen bonds, and energy is released as heat when hydrogen bonds form. The energy that water initially absorbs breaks hydro- gen bonds between molecules. Only after these hydrogen bonds are broken does the energy begin to increase the motion of the water molecules, which raises the temperature of the water. When the temperature of water drops, hydrogen bonds reform, which releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat. Therefore, during a hot summer day, water can absorb a large quantity of energy from the sun and can cool the air without a large increase in the waterâs temperature. At night, the gradually cooling water warms the air. In this way, the Earthâs oceans stabilize global temperatures enough to allow life to exist. Waterâs high heat capac- ity also allows organisms to keep cells at an even temperature despite temperature changes in the environment. As a liquid evaporates, the surface of the liquid that remains behind cools down. A relatively large amount of energy is absorbed by water during evaporation, which significantly cools the surface of the remaining liquid. Evaporative cooling prevents organisms that live on land from overheating. For example, the evaporation of sweat from a personâs skin releases body heat and prevents over- heating on a hot day or during strenuous activity. Adhesion Cohesion Hydrogen bonds Cohesion, adhesion, and capillarity contribute to the upward movement of water from the roots of plants.

This property is due to the shape of the water molecule and hydrogen bonding. The angle between the hydrogen atoms is quite wide. So, when water forms solid ice, the angles in the molecules cause ice crystals to have large amounts of open space, as shown in Figure 2-12. This open space lattice structure causes ice to have a low density. Because ice floats on water, bodies of water such as ponds and lakes freeze from the top down and not the bottom up. Ice insulates the water below from the cold air, which allows fish and other aquatic crea- tures to survive under the icy surface.Earthquake Hazards There are so many things that can happen during or after an earthquake. There are surface rupture and physical damage to buildings and other infrastructures, liquefaction, fire, landslide, and tsunami. Surface rupture and physical damage is the most obvious hazard of an earthquake the ground to break and buildings to collapse. Urban areas would experience more Earthquakes with higher energy create stronger ground motion, which can cause of this damage due to the presence of more infrastructures. Liquefaction occurs in areas where the soil becomes saturated with water. During an earthquake, the movement of the ground may loosen the soil and allow more water to seep in between the particles. This decreases the ability of the soil to support structures that are resting upon it. When it can no longer support a building, instead of being toppled over, the building starts to sink. Liquefaction mostly occur in reclaimed lands, which were once a part of a body of water. Fires can break out during or after an earthquake due to damaged or broken utility lines, substations, and power plants. It can also occur when ground rupture breaks gas tanks or pipes that lead to gas leaks. Tsunami or a harbor wave is an earthquake hazard that is generated when earthquakes occur on the seafloor. Tsunami displaces large volume of water from the sea to the land, causing damages in the cities and communities near the shore (figure 4-2).Earthquake Hazards There are so many things that can happen during or after an earthquake.
