Objectives Investigate the relationship between mass, force, and acceleration. State Newton’s second law and give examples to illustrate the law. Draw an accurate free body diagram locating each of the forces acting on an object or a system of objects. Use free body diagrams and Newton's laws of motion to solve word problems.

Newton’s Second Law of Motion The relation between acceleration and force. Acceleration is proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass. Force is vector Acceleration is a vector “sigma” symbol means summation If there is only one force present, then you can leave it out.

Newton’s Second law F net = ma (N) = (kg) (m/s 2 ) Force problems always must use these units! If you prefer triangles “net” means “the total sum” or you can use the symbol Σ a F net m

Newton’s Second Law Force = Mass x Acceleration Force is measured in Newtons ACCELERATION of GRAVITY(Earth) = 9.8 m/s 2 Weight (force) = mass x gravity (Earth) Moon’s gravity is 1/6 of the Earth’s If you weigh 420 Newtons on earth, what will you weigh on the Moon? 70 Newtons If your mass is 41.5Kg on Earth what is your mass on the Moon?

Newton’s Second Law WEIGHT is a measure of the force of ________ on the mass of an object measured in __________ gravity Newtons

Newton’s Second Law One rock weighs 5 Newtons. The other rock weighs 0.5 Newtons. How much more force will be required to accelerate the first rock at the same rate as the second rock? Ten times as much

Net Force & the 2 nd Law For a while, we’ll only deal with forces that are horizontal or vertical. When forces act in the same line, we can just add or subtract their magnitudes to find the net force. 2 kg 15 N 32 N F net = 27 N to the right a = 13.5 m/s 2 10 N

Units F net = m a 1 N = 1 kg m/s 2 The SI unit of force is the Newton. A Newton is about a quarter pound. 1 lb = 4.45 N

Graph of F vs. a In the lab various known forces are applied—one at a time, to the same mass— and the corresponding accelerations are measured. The data are plotted. Since F and a are directly proportional, the relationship is linear. F a

Slope F a Since slope = rise / run =  F /  a, the slope is equal to the mass. Or, think of y = m x + b, like in algebra class. y corresponds to force, m to mass, x to acceleration, and b (the y-intercept) is zero. FF aa

W = mg Weight = mass  acceleration due to gravity. This follows directly from F = m a. Weight is the force of gravity on a body. Near the surface of the Earth, g = 9.8 m/s 2.

A scalar is simply a number, a magnitude alone. A force is usually shown as a vector, which includes both magnitude and a direction. Force (or free-body) diagrams show the relative magnitude and direction of all forces acting upon an object. The object must be isolated and “free” of its surroundings.

This is a free-body diagram of the Statue of Liberty. She is represented by a simple box. The forces acting on her are labeled with a magnitude and the arrow shows direction. Notice the surrounding objects are stripped away and the forces acting on the object are shown. 495,704 lb

W W here represents the force of the weight of the statue. N N is the normal force, which represents the force Liberty Island is pushing back up on the statue. The island has a great resistance to compression. The ground is exerting a force upward on the statue perpendicular, or normal, to the surface. 495,704 lb N = W =

Think of the diagram on an XY plane. If “up” is assumed to be the positive direction, then N is positive and W is negative. lb 495,704 lb N = N = W = W = (Positive y-direction) +y +x (Positive x-direction)

The first line of this calculation reads, The sum of the Forcesin the positive y direction WN “The sum of the Forces in the positive y direction is W + N” (  is the Greek symbol for “sum” ) +   F y WN +   F y = W + N - lb+ lb  F y = ( lb) + ( lb )  F y = 0 lb 495,704 lb N = N = W = W = (Positive y-direction) +y +x (Positive x-direction) The sum of the forces in the y is zero. The forces acting on the object cancel each other out.

aWe know F = m * a, where “a” is acceleration. a000If a = 0, then F = m * 0 = 0. When  F = 0, the object is not accelerating. We we can then say that the forces acting on the object cancel each other out and it is in a state of static equilibrium.
