Moving Objects

By: Mohammed Al-Ahmary

This is a question that a lot of people have different answers for, the question is how do objects move. This question caused a lot of arguing on our world. People all have different answers and opinions on the topic. But let's get in depth on the question, how do objects move. Lets think about the question a bit. How do objects move. Not only objects and items, but everything around you, even yourself. Lets think about it. What is moving. Moving is transfer of an object moving from one location to another. Sometimes you push the object, other times another object pushes the object and sometimes, the object grows legs and moves itself from location to location. But surely there is a correct answer to this question, well it's complicated. I personally think there isn't a right or wrong answer to this question. But that's just my opinion. But there are scientific answers to this question. The scientific answer is probably the law of motion. What I think it means is that 

How do objects move in our environment? Why do some objects move vertically, horizontally while some are stationary (do not move at all)? Why do some objects move fast while some move very slow?

Objects in our universe move in many different ways, some are stationary (don't move at all unless moved by force) and are not (such as humans and living organisms). We (humans) move with our feet, our feet use a force so that it can make us move, if your body is big you will move slowly and if your body is smaller then your body will move faster. For example take a water bottle and a feather, since the water bottle is heavier and doesn't have a flat surface, then it will drop down quickly onto the floor. The feather has a flat surface, which makes it fall down slowly because of the resistance of the air is strong towards the feather.

In real life objects need a force to be moved, when you push something you are giving it a force, when you walk a force from your legs pushes you forward, when you play sports like basketball and football you give a force to the ball for it to go in the desired direction.

The most significant example of force in my life is probably basketball, you have to decide how hard you shoot the ball, depending on the speed that you are moving at, and also the angle that your body is in at the time of the shot, but the most important factor is when deciding how far to throw the ball is distance, you can be taking a layup which requires very little force from your arms, or you can take a three pointer which requires force from you arms and legs because you jump to help get the ball further, all of these factors have to be considered when taking a shot, all while playing a high speed game with 10 people on the same court.

The ball moves in the way that you push it, if you want to throw it straight up you apply an amount of force underneath the ball so that it goes up, if you want the ball to move horizontally you push the ball that way, the ball moves in the direction you apply force.

The amount of force also comes into play because that determines the distance and the speed the ball will have, the more force you apply the faster the ball will go and the further it will move, if no force is applied than the ball will not move at all in any direction making it stationary.

Stationary objects are what make movement possible, we would not be able to detect movement if there was not something that was still because for example; if you are playing basketball and you are running with the ball, if the floor is moving at the same speed it will look like you are not moving because you are staying at the same pace

as your environment, that's why you need a still environment for movement to be visible.

How much Do YOU know about Physics

In our environment most objects move. They may move for different reasons such as another force pushing against the object and setting it in motion. Let's think about space. In 7th grade we learned that an object in space will continue to move straight forward unless stopped by an object for force or get "pulled" to another object because of the greater mass attraction the smaller mass. 

 <---- Gravitational Pull

  

   Another question may be why do some objects move horizontally and some move vertically? To answer that questions let me give an example. When you let go of balloon filled with helium it goes up vertically because of its density and it floats up. Let's say you are driving you go horizontally because of the strong force of gravity.

Let's talk little more about space. Some objects that go in motion in space may be considered slow and some may be considered fast. This is because the force that set the object moving in the first place may set it in motion with a greater strength.

During this quarter I am sure my idea and understanding of physics will change dramatically.

Movement of Objects

In the universe many objects can move, or there are object that is stationary. Its cause of gravity, energy, and friction. First the gravity is something that make objects heavy, like in the earth you have more weight than you have in the moon, its cause of the amount of the gravity, also the gravity grab the objects to the core, like newton's apple. Second the energy. All the living things have energy, its like machine use oil or other source to active. Most of the moving things move by energy, but not at all, because some of them move by natural sources, such as water, and wind. Third friction, if there is no friction in the universe the objects will just slip everywhere, there will be no building , like stationary objects, because friction is something that helps to make objects stick together.

Movement of Objects

Objects moving is something that occurs in our everyday lives. Different objects can move in many ways. Objects move because of gravity, but some objects don't move at all, stationary objects. An example of a stationary object would be a table. A table is stationary, because the weight of the top is held by the legs which are on the floor. Objects can also move in different directions, including horizontal, vertical, etc. Certain objects can move in different directions, because they are shaped and designed to do so. I think movement is also caused by the amount of force that is put into moving an object. The way an object moves is caused by force and energy. The more energy put into moving an object, the further the object goes. Objects also can move fast and slow. I think the speed of an object moving is due to its weight. A lighter object may move fast, while a heavier object might move slow. Overall I think weight has a big part in the way objects move. I also think that objects move with the help of the gravitational force.

How Objects Move In The Environment Around Us

- By Kiarha Rubbinunan

Things around us and in our environment move due to the gravity and the amount of force is applied onto the object. Like for example in space when astronauts are there they have almost no control of where they go they are kinda just drifting off, but they have cords and other technologies that keep them where they are needed. Unlike space earth has gravity which is why what goes up must come down. But that doesn't mean that everything on earth sticks to the group due to gravity. Like for example when helium is put in a balloon the helium cause the balloon to float because it is lighter than the air around it. An example of how a force might move something is how the wind can blow leaves and when the wind calms down there is nothing to push the leaves around anymore so than gravity sends it backs to the ground.Well this is just what I knew from the top of my head about movement, but I am really excited to learn more about this topic in science.
