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.

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?

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.  

The movement of objects in our environment

Intro to physics

Mena Issa  

In our environment, there are many different types of objects, some that move and some that don't. Each object has it's own shape and size. In order for an objects to move, force has to be applied. The stronger the force or energy is, the further the object will go. Not only do we need force, but we also need gravity because without it, we would just be floating around. Humans and animals do all kinds of movement everyday, we can jump, skip, walk, run, move in different directions, and in different speed. We can move because we have a brain that allows us to control our movement, unlike stationary objects. Almost all living things move, and almost all things build by humans do not move, because they are not living, but if force is applied to them, then they could move. We can move them, but they don't have the option to move on their own. For us humans, we can move vertically, horizontally, fast, or slow because we have legs that we can control. Animals, for example a lion, also has the ability to move vertically, horizontally, fast, or slow because they also have legs. But you don't necessarily need legs to move, because for example, fishes can move any way or speed they want too. Although animals, humans, and other living things move, some things are stationary, like a book, or a lamp. The reason things like these don't move is because, they are not living, they are made by humans. A Car, for example, is a stationary objects, but if energy is applied to it, it can move. Same thing with airplanes, without its fans, energy, and the air, it would not move at all. Plants also move because when they start growing, they move vertically from the ground and up. Plants though, can't really move from one place to another because they are stuck to the ground in the dirt. Lastly, i think that movement can happen with anything and anywhere as long as there is some kind of force or energy applied.

Movement of Objects

- Sarah Imran

Objects moving is something we witness in our everyday lives. Movement is caused by the amount of force you put into moving the object. An example that we see in our everyday lives that moves are humans. Moving has become part of our daily lives. We walk, hop and jump everyday. We can move horizontally, vertically and diagonally. This all occurs because of the force and energy.  

      When we kick a ball into a goal or throw a ball for someone to catch it, it automatically send the energy from our body to the object and makes it move. The more energy you put into it, the farther the object moves. We use energy everyday.  A chair is an object that doesn't move unless we make it. A chair stays in its place because if it did move humans would fall off it very quickly. We give it the energy to move. It moves because of energy. 

     Gravity makes objects fall faster when they are going down. Have you ever wondered why it's harder to walk up a hill than down? It's all because of gravity. When you go down a hill the gravitational force pulls you down. Gravitational force is energy which makes you go down faster than go up. The amount of energy changes whether you're going up a hill or down. 

    So in conclusion I think that movement depends on how much energy or force you're putting into moving the object.

How Objects Move

By: Yasmeen Khazindar

Different objects move in different ways. But all the objects end up moving all because of the same reason: force and energy. Objects can move any direction the source of energy or the force pushes it to. An example of a force is a pebble is sitting on a sea shore. There are currently high waves crashing down onto the pebble, picking it up, and dropping it in a different place. The pebble is not moving on its own, but is being moved by another thing. It is being moved by a strong force. The amount of force might differ though, regarding on the object's weight. There are some objects that carry so much weight, that only very high force could move. For example, a high skyscraper. The skyscraper would be able to survive high winds. But if a tornado, hurricane, or other natural disasters appear, than the skyscraper then there is a chance of it getting knocked out. What also has a bring role is mass. If the mass is strong, then there's a very low chance the object will be moved. That is also why some objects are stationary or do not move at all.  

Some objects are moved faster than other because of the weight/mass of the object. A lot of force may be needed for the object to move. For example, a large pick-up truck, carrying 5 men, runs out of gas. The 5 men get out of the truck and started pushing it; they had a hard time. Eventually, it started moving and they get it to the nearest gas station. The truck was heavy and needed a strong force for it to move. In other words, there is not enough force for the mass to be moved. Objects that are moved vertically, are being moved by gravity that is pushing it to become vertically; It may be falling down, or is being pushed upward. Objects that are moved horizontally are being forced by gravity that is pushing it sideways.

Movement Of Objects

Angelika Tessmann

Objects in our world varies in shape and sizes. Some of these objects are smaller and most probably lighter than bigger and heavier objects. For an object to be moved force must be applied. This force may cause the object to move horizontally, vertically, or stay where it is (because of gravitational pull). The speed of the objects movement may depend on its size and weight, the heavier the object the more force it may take thus making it move slower. If a person is the one to apply the force on the object he/she may also affect the speed depending on their strength.

Airplanes for example are capable of flying because of its engine and propellers. These items exert force that pushes the plane forward/backward and eventually helping it to fly. Smaller and lighter objects don't need as much force as an airplane would so a push or a pull from a person would be enough to move it.

Movement Of Objects In Our Environment

In our environment objects move because force is applied to it and also by the help of gravity. For an example, in our environment an object like a football could only move if force is applied to it like kicking it. While People move by using their brains so it could communicate throughout their body to order that part of the body to move.

Objects move vertically or horizontally because it depends on the direction of the the force. While, some objects are stationary because no force is applied to the object. If the object weighs more then more force has to be applied to it. 

There are many types of objects, some move really fast and some move really slow. It depends on how much the object weighs. For an example, some cars are designed to move really fast and it's small. While, trucks move slower than most cars because it's much bigger and it's not designed to move fast like some cars.

Why are they moving?

By: Ryan Jahchan

Objects, what makes them move? Why do they move the way they do? Why do some not move at all. And why are some faster than others. Before we can answer these questions, we need to know why objects move. Objects that aren't living need one of two things to move. Either a secondary man made object such as an engine, or they need wind. Things such as cars need an engine to move their wheels to move forwards and things like leaves need wind to move forward. When you throw a rock, you give it thrust and it will keep going until the force runs out or it hits an object. The only time an object doesn't need anything to move is when it is elevated off the ground and gravity forces it down. Now that we have a solid understanding of why things move, we can answer the questions.

Objects in our environment move because they are either living and have muscles to move, are being blown by wind/gravity, or being thrusted by a throw. Things in our environment that are man made or they are either being thrown, thrusted, or wind/gravity is affecting them. Some examples of natural moving objects: Animals, tree branches, leaves, sand, dirt, seeds, water, etc.

Some examples of man made moving objects: Robots, machines, RC vehicles, cars, planes, any vehicle, escalators, elevators, anything made by man that is light enough to be pushed by air, etc.

All these items move either because they have an engine, are machines, or because they are light enough to be moved by air. Let's talk about which direction they're moving in, up down left right and why. Objects like cars usually move forwards because their engines are made to move the wheels in that direction. Objects like planes usually move forwards and up constantly then down and forwards when they need to land, because they are built like that. The reason some things don't move at all don't move are either because they don't need to or because they can't. A table only needs to move when it is being relocated, so it is only going to move then. Things only move if they can, are being pushed, or are living and are able to move.

Moving objects

Moving objects

How do things move? To start of for an object to move it needs a push so in other words some sort of force and space to which it will move. Objects can move in any direction given their location, their space is their limit. Some objects move fast because the amount of force given to an object is larger that the mass, it also depends on the friction or the surface. Objects move slowly because the mass is much larger than the amount of force causing the object to move slower and not very far, objects may move slow also because there may be something in the way like for example if you are running with wind behind you it sort of pushes you forward making you in a way faster, ok now imagine having the wind in front of you going against you in a way. Now that would slow you down because yes you have a force going toward the finish line but the wind has a force going against, so in order to stay running and keep your pace you would need I guess a stronger force of energy. Objects that move vertically do so because they are receiving a force vertically. The Objects that move horizontally do so because they are receiving a force horizontally I guess.  Some objects are stationary because there is no force being applied to the object so It can't move. To quote Newton's First Law of Motion "Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it."

How Do Objects Move In Our Environment?

There are a variety of different objects in the world; objects can be different in appearance, use, etc., but their movements and how they move can be different as well. Objects move because of gravity. Some objects are stationary (do not move at all), and that is usually because of their weight. For example, a table cannot move. The legs of the table hold the weight of the top of the table on the floor. The only way that a stationary object can actually move is if a person picks it up, but it also depends on the weight of the object, because some objects (moving and stationary) are too heavy for humans to just carry with their hands.

Objects that move can move in different directions: vertical, horizontal, diagonal, etc. Some objects can only move in one direction, and some can move several or all directions. I think this is because of how the object is shaped, and its weight. I think certain objects are shaped or designed to move in a direction or directions, which I think is because of the humans who made those particular objects.

Objects that move each have a certain speed. There are several objects that move fast, move slow, etc. I think that objects are light and small move fast, big and heavy objects move slow, etc. I think that the weight of the object depends on its speed. But I also think that this isn't entirely true because for example, a car is bigger and heavier than a scooter, even though the scooter is lighter and smaller than the car. The car is faster because it is designed to move fast, and they are also fast when they have fuel inside them.

Overall, I think that the weight of an object plays a huge factor in an object's movement, and I hope to learn other factors that play roles in an object's movement in the future.

Intro In Physics: What I Know

By: Sania Khan

Objects move in this world due to the gravitational force. Some of the things are meant to move vertically because of their shapes and sizes. If they are for example a table, due to it's shape it can only move horizontally and not vertically. But for something like a balloon, that can only move vertically because of the elements that make it, like helium only allows it to go up or vertically. Some of the objects stay stationary due to how they are, like if they are not able to move then maybe it's because of their weight and therefore they are very heavy to move. The movement speed matters since the speed of the object depends on the size and the weight. The weight is a big factor in the movement of the object and therefore because of the weight the objects are able to move up and down.

Intro To Physics: Christa's Perspective

Christa Abasola Smith's Perspective on Intro to Physics

Objects move in our environment with the aid of gravity. For example, in space since there is no gravity, objects can move freely without being yielded by the force of gravity. Its different here on earth, we have gravity over here and that force has ultimate control over whether an object should move or be stationary. We use stationary objects as a reference to tell when an object has moved besides actually witnessing the motion of a movement. As for why some objects move faster than others and vice versa, why do some objects move slower than others; I believe that the faster moving objects, have less weight and or are smaller, this allows them to move faster and as for slower moving objects because they have more weight and or are larger this hinders them from moving fast. This weight rule, in my mind, still applies to whether an object will be stationary or will move horizontally or vertically, the heavier an object is the chance of it staying put increases, I think this is a result of it's heavier weight hindering it from being able to move. I think weight play a big factor in the motion an object may be in but I think there is a bigger factor than this that plays a much more significant role than just weight but I can't really put my finger on it. There is a bigger picture to the science behind this and i'll admit that I don't really know all too much on the matter besides the minor factor of the weight and mass of the object.

How Objects Move And Why They Move

Some objects move faster than others depending on the energy that is surrounding the object. For example an airplane can move faster if there is more force put into the object, then the airplane will use it wheels to move faster and faster. Some object don't move because of the density making the object to heavy to move. It all depends on how the object is made, and how it is used. Some objects move horizontally because the charge of the object makes it move in that one direction. The movement of an object all depends on the charges, and atoms used to make the object, and the force used on the object. For example an airplane or a rock will not move until someone puts force and energy to move the object, it also could move because of the density, if it is too light or too heavy. Example: A piece of paper can move with very little force, it all depends on the density of the object. Things change depending on all of the functions made to make the object.
