 MYTH BUSTER

Students will decide

whether each
presented Physics
statement is a “Myth”
(False) or a “Fact”
(True).
 Statement #1
"Heavy objects fall faster
than light objects."
 Statement #1
"Heavy objects fall faster
than light objects."
All objects fall at the
same rate in a
vacuum (9.8 m/s²),
regardless of mass.
 Statement #2
"There is no gravity in
space."
 Statement #2
"There is no gravity in
space."
Gravity exists in
space — it's what
keeps planets and
satellites in orbit!
 Statement #3
"You need force to keep an
object moving."
 Statement #3
"You need force to keep an
object moving."
According to
Newton’s 1st law,
objects in motion
stay in motion unless
acted on by a force.
 Statement #4
"Friction always slows
things down."
 Statement #4
"Friction always slows
things down."
Friction opposes
motion and
generally reduces
speed or brings
things to a stop.
 Statement #5
"Sound can travel through
space."
 Statement #5
"Sound can travel through
space."
Sound needs a
medium (like air) to
travel; space is a
vacuum.
 Statement #6
"The moon does not fall to
Earth because there is no
gravity acting on it."
 Statement #6
"The moon does not fall to
Earth because there is no
gravity acting onThe
it."moon stays in
orbit because of
Earth’s gravity pulling
on it.
 Statement #7
"You feel lighter in an elevator
going down because gravity is
weaker there."
 Statement #7
"You feel lighter in an elevator
going down because gravity is
weaker there." Gravity doesn’t
change — the
sensation is due to
reduced normal force,
not gravity itself.
 Statement #8
"Electricity moves instantly
through wires."
 Statement #8
"Electricity moves instantly
through wires."

The signal moves fast,

but electrons drift
slowly.
 Statement #9
"Objects float in water because
they are light."
 Statement #8
"Objects float in water because
they are light."

Floating depends on
density, not weight.
Even heavy ships float!
 Statement #10
"Hot air rises because it is
lighter."
 Statement #10
"Hot air rises because it is
lighter."
Hot air expands,
becomes less dense,
and rises above
cooler, denser air.

 What is life
without Physics?
What is Physics?
Physics
• Physics is a field of study that
examines matter, including its
composition, nature, and
properties.
• Deals with the structure of matter
and the interactions between the
fundamental constituents of the
observable universe.
Physics
• It explains why the world behaves
the way it does.
• Physics = How and Why
things move, work, and
happen.
Physics is everywhere.
It is part of our daily
living.
Sound
• A vibration that propagates as an
audible wave of pressure, through
a medium such as a gas, liquid or
solid.
• Sound is something that you
cannot see but can hear or feel.
 Sound
• When an alarm clock rings, the
molecules present nearby vibrate. The
vibration causes the other molecules
to vibrate as well. An alarm clock
releases a wave of energy that
triggers the human brain.
 Heat
• Heat is the thermal energy transfer
between systems or bodies due to
a temperature difference.
• Heat occurs spontaneously from a
hotter body to a colder one. It is
important to note that heat is
energy in transit; it is not stored as
an internal property of an object.
Friction
• Force that resists the sliding or
rolling of one solid object over
another.
• The force that resists an object’s
motion on a surface. The object
can either be stationary or in
motion relative to the surface.
Static Kinetic
Static Friction
• Static friction arises when the
object is stationary relative to the
surface. If a force tries to displace
it, the friction is strong enough to
hold the object in its position.
• Once the applied force exceeds
this value, the object starts to
move, and static friction ceases to
exist.
Kinetic Friction
• Kinetic friction arises when the
object moves relative to the surface
after the applied force overcomes
the static friction.
• Kinetic friction can be of two types. If
the object is sliding over the surface,
then it experiences sliding friction. If
the object rolls over the surface,
then it is called rolling friction.
Gravity
• the universal force of attraction
acting between all bodies of matter.
• Gravity is a force that attracts a
body towards the centre of the earth
or any other physical body having
mass.
• Anything that has mass also has
gravity. Objects with more mass
have more gravity.
Gravity is very important to us. It
wouldn’t have been possible for
us to live on earth if it weren’t for
gravity. The sun’s gravity keeps
the earth revolving around it,
keeping us at a comfortable
distance to enjoy the sun’s
warmth and light. Ultimately,
gravity is the glue that holds the
cosmos together!
PHYSICS HUGOT
 "Para tayong magnet...
Magkaibang pole kaya kahit
gaano kalakas ang attraction, lagi
tayong nagtutulakan."
 "Hindi ka magnet, pero bakit ako
ang laging naa-attract kahit alam
kong hindi mo ko gusto?"
"Inertia ang dahilan kung bakit
hindi ako makamove on — kasi
walang external force na
nagtutulak palayo sa’yo."
"Akala ko sapat na ang effort ko...
Pero kulang pala yung force ko
para mapalapit ka sa’kin."
 "Kailangan ko ng unbalanced
force...
Para tuluyan nang mawala ang
feelings ko sa'yo."
Magnetism
• Magnetism is the force exerted by
magnets when they attract or repel
each other.
• Magnetism, phenomenon
associated with magnetic fields,
which arise from the motion of
electric charges.
Magnetism
• All magnets have north and south
poles. Opposite poles are attracted
to each other, while the same poles
repel each other.
Magnetism
• Earth is a magnet. Scientists do not
fully understand why, but they think
the movement of molten metal in
Earth’s outer core generates electric
currents. The currents create a
magnetic field with invisible lines of
force flowing between Earth’s
magnetic poles.
Inertia
• The tendency of an object to resist a
change in its motion.
• Acts as a resistance to any change
in the velocity of any physical
object.
Inertia
• Force which keeps stationary
objects to stay still (remain at rest)
or moving objects in motion at the
same speed and in the same
direction unless it is stopped by an
external force.
Inertia at Rest
• Inertia of Rest can be defined as the
inability of an object or body to change its
state of rest by itself. For example, when a
car is suddenly started, the passengers in
it fall backward. Ever wondered why that
happens? Well, the lower part, which is in
contact with the car, comes in motion,
whereas the upper part remains in rest
due to inertia of rest.
Inertia at Motion
• Inertia of motion can be defined as the
inability of an object or body to change its
state of motion by itself. For example, if we
reverse the first example, we will
understand the inertia of motion. Let’s say
that you are in a moving car, and when it
suddenly stops, all the passengers fall
forward. That’s because the lower part of
the body, which is in contact with the car
is at rest, whereas the upper part tends to
remain in motion due to inertia of motion.
Inertia of Direction
• Inertia of direction can be defined as the
inability of any physical object to change
its direction of motion by itself. For
example, when a car moves along a
round curve, the passengers sitting inside
are thrown outwards. It happens due to
the inertia of direction in order to
maintain the direction of motion.
Force
• Force is a primary cause in the
physics leads to a change in the
motion of an object.
• When a force acts on an object, its
velocity changes, i.e., the object
accelerates.
Force
• Push and pull are the forces that are
used to put an object into motion.
Both the forces can be differentiated
on the basis of the direction of
motion of the object. A pull force
tends to move an object towards
the person applying the force, while
a push force moves the object away
from the person.
Types of Force
• Balanced Force: When an equal
amount of force is applied to the
body but in opposite direction then
this type of force is termed as
Balanced Force.
• Unbalanced Force: When an
unequal amount of force is applied
to the body, in the same or opposite
direction then this type of force is
termed as Unbalanced Force.
Electricity
• Electricity, phenomenon associated
with stationary or moving electric
charges. Electric charge is a
fundamental property of matter and
is borne by elementary particles.
Electricity
• In electricity the particle involved is
the electron, which carries a charge
designated, by convention, as
negative. Thus, the various
manifestations of electricity are the
result of the accumulation or motion
of numbers of electrons.
Static Electricity
• Static electricity occurs when
electric charges accumulate on an
object’s surface, remaining there
until they are discharged.
Static Electricity
• When two objects rub against each
other, electrons can move from one
object to another. When an object
loses electrons, it acquires a positive
charge, whereas an object that
gains electrons becomes negatively
charged. Since opposite charges
attract, these charged objects can
create sparks or attract small
particles.
Current Electricity
• Current electricity refers to the
continuous flow of electric charge
through a conductor, such as a wire.
It is the type of electricity that
powers our homes, appliances, and
electronic devices.
Current Electricity
• Direct Current: The electric charge
flows in one direction only. Batteries
and solar panels produce DC
electricity.
• Alternating Current: The direction of
electric charge flow alternates
periodically. Homes and businesses
receive electricity in the form of
alternating current (AC).
Light
• Light is a form of energy that causes
the sensation of vision.
• Light, visible light, or visible radiation
is electromagnetic radiation that
can be perceived by the human eye.
Properties of Light
• Light travels in a straight line.
• The speed of light is faster than
sound. Light travels at a speed of 3 x
108 m/s.
• Reflection: Reflection happens when
light bounces off an object.
• Refraction: Refraction occurs when
light passes through an object, it
bends towards the normal.
What is the smallest
unit of atom?
Atom
• An atom is the smallest unit of
matter that forms a chemical
element and cannot be divided
using any chemical means.
• An atom is fundamental building
block of matter.
Atom
• It consists of protons, neutrons, and
electrons.
• While it is not the smallest particle of
matter, it is the smallest unit that
cannot be broken by any chemical
means.
