Forces Flap Book

Hello 3Uers

Today you will continue to work on Free body diagrams (FBD) and relate it to the change in motion of the objects they represent.

We will each create a Forces Flap Book as a final product and today will be our first practice and draft.

To start the class use your lab booklets to create FBDs for each of the cases from yesterday in the following way:

1. define how the object is moving (remember this is found by looking in the past)
2. define how the object's motion is CHANGING (no changing, speeding up or slowing down)
3. create your FBD including labels, coordinate system and make sure that the force arrows are the appropriate length compared to the others and in the right direction.
4. write a brief description of the force and the things that define it.

On the white board are three examples for the flap book.

1. Me holding up the ball at rest.
2. The Beanie Baby during the crash into to wall
3. The Lorax during the crash into the wall

PLEASE TRY THESE FIRST BEFORE going up to compare them to my examples inside the flip. Please use my examples as a guide to create:

Four flap examples with a system diagram on the front and the FBD and information on the inside. You can use any of the examples from yesterday (except my examples) or any other situation you can think of. Please have at least one of:

• No moving
• moving in the same direction at the same speed
• speeding up or slowing down  

For now make your flaps the appropriate size so that you can paste them into your lab booklet.

Have a great day and keep thinking about it over the weekend.
