1. Using the FORCE

2. Sir Isaac Newton January 4 th, 1643 – March 31 st, 1727 Newton was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, and theologian and one of the most influential men in human history. Among many other things, he is credited with describing the Universal Law of Gravitation and the Three Laws of Motion. A 2005 survey of the British Royal Society ranked Newton ahead of even Einstein as having a greater influence on the history of science.

3. Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica Latin for "mathematical principles of natural philosophy" A three-volume work by Isaac Newton published on 5 July 1687 that contains the statement of Newton's laws of motion forming the foundation of classical mechanics, as well as his law of universal gravitation and a derivation of Kepler's laws for the motion of the planets (which were first obtained empirically). The Principia is widely regarded as one of the most important scientific works ever written.

4. The physical law describing the gravitational attraction between bodies with mass It states the following: F is the magnitude of the gravitational force between the two point masses, G is the gravitational constant, m 1 is the mass of the first point mass, m 2 is the mass of the second point mass, r is the distance between the two point masses. Every point mass attracts every other point mass by a force pointing along the line intersecting both points. The force is proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the point masses: where: Newton's law of universal gravitation F 1 = F 2 = G m1m2r2m1m2r2 Got it?

5. Force? A force is a push or pull upon an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object. Forces only exist as a result of an interaction. Force has both direction and magnitude

6. Inertia “The vis insita, or innate force of matter is a power of resisting, by which every body, as much as in it lies, endeavors to preserve in its present state, whether it be of rest, or of moving uniformly forward in a straight line.” In English, please! Inertia is the resistance of an object to a change in its state of motion. A bowling ball has more inertia than a soccer ball. Don’t believe me? Kick the bowling ball, then kick the soccer ball. More mass = More inertia More inertiaLess inertia

7. Balanced vs. Unbalanced forces A soccer ball sits alone on the field, quiet and still… Gravity pulling down Ground pushing up Forces are balanced so ball does not move

8. Balanced vs. Unbalanced forces Suddenly…. An unbalanced force is exerted on the ball in the direction of the arrow, causing it to move in that direction until…

9. Balanced vs. Unbalanced forces …its motion is stopped by an interaction with another force! Once again, the forces are balanced and all is well in the universe.

10. Balanced Forces If the forces acting on an object are balanced, the object is at rest. We say the “Net Force” = 0 Net force = sum of all forces acting on an object

11. If the forces acting on an object become unbalanced, the object moves in the direction of the greatest net force. Unbalanced Forces In this case, the “Net Force” = 5 Newtons to the left Force applied in this direction

12. The newton is a unit of force that is defined as the amount of force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second per second. Algebraically: Mmmm, Newtons! Oh, sorry, wrong Newtons 1 N = 1 kg ● m s 2

13. Diagramming Forces If you were paying attention, you would have noticed that forces were illustrated using arrows. The size and direction of the arrow represents the relative strength and direction of the force. Balance forces - arrows equal in length Unbalanced forces - arrows not equal, Movement is to the right

14. Calculating Net Forces To calculate net forces, add all forces exerted on the object. In this example, the net force up the ramp is greater than gravity, and the piano is moved forward and up the ramp into the truck. A B C For this example Net force = (force A + force B) – force C

15. Calculating Net Forces 21 For this example Net force = force 1 - force 2 The force due to gravity in this example is negligible What other forces can you identify in this picture?

16. Calculating Net Forces 21 The dogs exert a force on the toy as they bite down on it

17. Feeling the Force Pow! Which ram seems to have the advantage? Why?

18. Newton’s First Law of Motion “An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.” AKA - The Law of Inertia “Every body perseveres in its state of being at rest or of moving uniformly straight forward, except insofar as it is compelled to change its state by force impressed.” Not again! One more time… English, please!

19. Newton’s First Law of Motion Said another way, Newton’s First Law of Motion states that a moving object moves in a straight line with constant speed unless a force acts on it.  An object will not start moving unless a force acts on it  An object will not stop moving unless a force acts on it  An object will not change speed unless a force acts on it  An object will not change direction unless a force acts on it

20. Friction A force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are touching Even surfaces that seem to be extremely smooth have microscopic hills and valleys, and when two surfaces are in contact, the hills and valleys of one stick to the hills and valleys of the other, causing friction to resist the force of motion

21. Static friction The friction that exists between two objects in contact Friction

22. Sliding friction When force is applied that is strong enough to break the bonds of static friction and movement starts, sliding friction acts to slow that object down Friction

23. Rolling friction The resistance that occurs when a round object such as a ball or tire rolls on a flat surface Friction

24. Fluid friction Fluid friction occurs when a solid object travels through a liquid or gas. Friction Wake turbulence and wingtip vortices from jet airliner passing through a layer of clouds, showing the fluid nature of air

25. Friction Friction always acts in the opposite direction of movement, and always acts to slow object down. Static friction Sliding friction Rolling friction Fluid friction Movement starts Force required to overcome friction More Less

26. Newton’s Second Law of Motion Force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma) The net force on an object is equal to the mass (m) of the object multiplied by its acceleration (a) Units of Force Mass = kilograms (kg) Acceleration = (m/s 2 ) Therefore…. F = kg ● m/s 2 Force is measured in (Newtons, that is)

27. What are the forces acting on this bicycle and rider, coasting along at 25 km/h on this flat, wet, Alaskan road?

28. B A D C E A = force of gravity B = force of the road C = rolling frictional force D = force of momentum* E = fluid frictional force (air or wind resistance) *Momentum = mass (kg) ● velocity (m/s) Is the net force balanced? Write out the formula…

29. B A D C E A = force of gravity B = force of the road C = rolling frictional force D = force of momentum* E = fluid frictional force (air or wind resistance) Is the net force balanced? Write out the formula… Net force = (A-B) + D - (E+C)

30. Gravity Gravity is a force that always attracts or pulls objects toward each other without direct contact or impact. Gravitational attraction depends on the mass of the two objects and the distance they are apart. Objects on Earth are pulled toward the center of Earth. The force of gravity, like all other forces, can cause changes in the speed of objects. As an object falls, its speed will continually increase as Earth’s gravity continually pulls it downward. When air resistance is ignored, all objects will speed up at the same rate as they fall. Gravity can also cause an object that is thrown into the air to change its upward motion, slow down, and fall back toward Earth’s surface. The pull of Earth’s gravity keeps the Moon in orbit; the moon is constantly changing direction because of gravity.

31. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/sec 2 When air resistance is ignored, all objects will speed up at the same rate as they fall. When the ball is dropped off the cliff, the ball will accelerate by 9.8 meters/second each second. At the end of 1 second, the ball is traveling at 9.8 m/sec At the end of 2 seconds, the ball’s velocity is 19.6 m/sec (9.8 m/sec X 2) Etc…..

32. Gravity Factoring in air resistance (fluid friction) will cause an object to reach a limit to its acceleration. This concept is known as terminal velocity. For an average skydiver, terminal velocity is approximately 195 km/sec (55 m/sec). Terminal velocity is reached when the net force between gravity ( F g ) and fluid friction, or drag ( F d ) reaches zero.

33. Gravity Acceleration due to gravity 9.8 m/s 2 F = mass X (9.8 m/s 2 ) This dude is nuts! F = ma

34. Newton’s Third Law of Motion Whenever a particle (A) exerts a force on another particle (B), (B) simultaneously exerts a force on (A) with the same magnitude in the opposite direction. This law is often simplified into the sentence, "To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." Lex III: Actioni contrariam semper et æqualem esse reactionem: sive corporum duorum actiones in se mutuo semper esse æquales et in partes contrarias dirigi.

35. Third Law in Action

37. Quick Review A paratrooper has a mass of 100 kg. He jumps from his C-17 at an altitude of 10,000 feet and accelerates toward the ground at 9.8 m/sec 2. What is the force on the paratrooper?

40. Self-check questions 1)Think about our happy cyclist from earlier in the discussion 2)Your weight will decrease as you get farther from Earth because the gravitational pull of Earth is decreasing 3)Greater the speed, greater the air resistance, up to the point of terminal velocity 4)Net force will push diagonally at some angle on the car and to the right 5)The motion of the box will not change until the forces become unbalanced

F = ma F = 100 kg ● 9.8 m/sec 2 F = 980 kg ● m/sec 2 (1 Newton = 1 kg ● m/sec 2 ) Answer = 980 Newtons (or 980 N) This is Newton’s Second Law of Motion

Calculate the average acceleration. Explain how you got your answer. Average acceleration = (Final velocity – Initial velocity) / Time = (27 m/sec – 15 m/sec) / 3 seconds = (12 m/sec) / 3 seconds = 4 m/sec 2
