General Definition A force is any influence that causes an object to undergo a change in speed, a change in direction, or a change in shape. The units of force are newtons, named after Isaac Newton. As the unit of force, the newton is equal to a kilogram-meter per second squared. Don’t hate.

Types of Forces Contact Force any force applied on an object through direct contact with that object. Field Force Any force applied on an object through a “field”, acting at a distance without direct contact. Gravity Magnetism

Newton’s Laws of Motion Isaac Newton: Arguably the most important scientist in human history. Wealthy Nobleman. Came up with three basic laws that governed motion. First law: The velocity of a body remains constant unless the body is acted upon by an unbalanced external force. Second law: The acceleration a of a body is parallel and directly proportional to the net force F and inversely proportional to the mass m, i.e., F = ma. Third law: The mutual forces of action and reaction between two bodies are equal, opposite and collinear. - Philanthropist. - International ladies man. - Brew-master of fine ales. - Inventor of the spork. - Criminal Mastermind.

Quick Quiz: TRUE TRUE True or False: If an object is at rest, it will stay at rest until something causes it to move. If an object is moving, it will continue to move in the same way until sometime causes a change in the motion of that object. TRUE TRUE

Inertia and Newton’s First Law The velocity of a body remains constant unless the body is acted upon by an unbalanced external force. This resistance to a change in motion is called inertia. This is an object. It is at rest. The blue arrow represent forces, does the motion of the object change?

Newton’s Second Law Second law: This is an object. The acceleration a of a body is parallel and directly proportional to the net force F and inversely proportional to the mass m, (i.e.: F = ma). It is very important to conceptualize Net force as the sum of all forces applied on an object. This is an object. It has 1.00kg of mass. Since the sum of no forces is zero, there is no acceleration.

Divide both sides by mass. Newton’s Second Law Divide both sides by mass. Insert values. In which direction is the acceleration?

Bell-Ringer 2/2 1. Is the giant, anniversary, sock-monkey at rest? Answer the questions regarding the giant, anniversary, sock-monkey on the front bench. 1. Is the giant, anniversary, sock-monkey at rest? 2. Is the net force zero or non-zero? 3. What are the external forces on the giant, anniversary, sock-monkey , if any at all?

Normal Force The bunny is at rest because the force of gravity is balanced by a force coming up from the front bench. Any force applied to an object from a surface is called a normal force. All normal forces are exerted on an object from a surface with which the object is in contact. All normal forces are directed perpendicularly from the contact surface.

Free-Body Diagrams When doing Physics problems involving forces, it is advantageous, and sometimes absolutely necessary to draw a free-body diagram. I was going to make a power-point on making a free-body diagram, but I found something better online. Everybody, get into groups and go back to the computer tables.

Newton’s Third Law Third law: Third law: The mutual forces of action and reaction between two bodies are equal, opposite and collinear. This has been paraphrased into: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The orange object exerts a 10.0N force on the white object. This is an object. The white object will exert an equal and opposite force on the orange object.
