Newton’s Laws and Forces What is force? What are they?

Force A push or a pull Symbol is F Unit is N (Newton) One newton is the force necessary to cause a one kilogram mass to accelerate at the rate of 1m/s2 1N=1 kg m/s2

FORCE A force is any influence that can change the velocity of a body. Forces can act either through the physical contact of two objects (contact forces: push or pull) or at a distance (field forces: magnetic force, gravitational force). Contact Forces Action-at-a-Distance Forces Frictional Force Gravitational Force Tensional Force Electrical Force Normal Force Magnetic Force Air Resistance Force Applied Force Spring Force

What do we mean by balanced and unbalanced forces? The forces on the book are unbalanced Balanced forces are EQUAL and OPPOSITE in direction Unbalanced forces have a greater force in one direction

If all the forces are balanced, we say the object is in EQUILIBRIUM

A net force is the vector sum of the forces acting on an object

What are the net forces? FNET = Σ forces ≠ 0 N These are free-body diagrams

Newton Three Laws of Motion His laws explain why objects move (or don’t move) as they do

Newton's 1st Law of Motion

Newton's First Law of Motion (Law of Inertia) or [Law of Balanced Forces] Newton's First Law of Motion says: an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless the object is acted on by an unbalanced force.

“Things keep doing what they are doing!” Constant Velocity It can be Zero or it can be greater than zero…..It just can’t change!!!!!!

What is required to change the constant velocity? An unbalanced force

Other Examples to Consider: Blood rushes from your head to your feet while quickly stopping when riding on a descending elevator. The head of a hammer can be tightened onto the wooden handle by banging the bottom of the handle against a hard surface.

Inertia and Mass Inertia: the resistance an object has to a change in its state of motion The more mass the more inertia As mass increases the more an object resists change in its motion Mass (kg) is the measurement of Inertia

Newton's 2nd Law of Motion

. Newton's Second Law of Motion (Law of Acceleration) [Law of Unbalanced Forces]

F = force applied to an object [N = Newtons = kg ∙m/s2] SECOND LAW OF MOTION   According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the net force acting on a body equals the product of the mass and the acceleration of the body. The direction of the force is the same as that of the acceleration. In equation form: F = ma F = force applied to an object [N = Newtons = kg ∙m/s2] m = object’s mass [kg] a = acceleration [m/s2]

Are weight and mass the same thing?

ForceWeight = mass x gravity WEIGHT (of a body or object) aka Force of Weight The gravitational force with which the Earth attracts the body. Causes it to accelerated downward with the acceleration of gravity g. Vector quantity Measured in Newtons Varies with its location near the Earth (or other astronomical body) ForceWeight = mass x gravity FW = m x g Newton = kg x m/s2 1 N = 1 kgm/s2

Mass A scalar quantity Same everywhere in the universe. It doesn’t change Measured in kg

Newton's 3rd Law of Motion

What is the third law of motion For every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force Two different objects and two different forces (equal but opposite) Forces always occur in pairs Also known as The Law of Force Pairs Are the effects of the force the same? NO They are not always acting on the same amount of mass Examples: Bug hitting windshield, recoil of shot gun, pushing off of on a raft

Third Law Mathmatically F = F Which can be written as: ma= ma

Forces occur is pairs…

What forces cause the swimmer to move forward? Her push on the wall? Or The wall’s push on her?

THIRD LAW OF MOTION  According to Newton's third law of motion, when one body exerts a force on another body, the second body exerts on the first an equal force in opposite direction. The Third Law of Motion applies to two different forces on two different objects: "The action force one object exerts on the other, and the equal but opposite reaction force the second object exerts on the first."

Ex D A 2500 kg car hits a 0.001 kg bug with a force of 500N. According to the third law of motion, the bug hits the car with how many Newton's of force? Why isn’t the car damaged? Calculate the acceleration of the bug due to the force. Calculate the acceleration of the car due to the force.

According to the third law of motion, the bug hits the car with how many Newton's of force? Why isn’t the car damaged? Calculate the acceleration of the bug due to the force. Calculate the acceleration of the car due to the force. acceleration of the bug due to impact: a = F/m a = 500N/.001 kg = 500,000 m/s2 ! acceleration of the car due to impact : a = 500N/2500kg = 0.2 m/s2

Review F=ma calculations

Net Force (Fnet ) Fnet in simple situations (only 1 force implied): Fnet = ma Fnet and acceleration are always in the same direction How is net force on an object determined with multiple? It is the sum of all forces Fnet = ΣF Remember force is a vector, therefore it has direction (+,-, N,S etc)

Net force (F) = ma The second law of motion is the key to understanding the behavior of moving bodies since it links cause (force) and effect (acceleration) in a definite way.

Example E A 2000 N net force (horizontally to the right) acts on a 50 kg object. Draw the free body diagram. Calculate the acceleration. If the object started from rest, how far would it move in 5 seconds?

Example E A 2000 N net force (horizontally to the right) acts on a 50 kg object. Draw the free body diagram. Calculate the acceleration. If the object started from rest, how far would it move in 5 seconds? d = vit + .5at2 d = (.5)(40 m/s2)(5sec)2 d = 500m Could we determine the velocity at 5 seconds? How? a = (vf – vi)/t vf = vi + at vf = 0 m/s + (40 m/s2)(5sec) = 200 m/s vf

a = (vf – vi)/t F = ma a = (20m/s-10 m/s) / 5s a = 2 m/s2 Ex F A 1000 kg car goes from 10 to 20 m/s in 5 s. What force is acting on it? m = 1000 kg vi = 10 m/s vf = 20 m/s t = 5 s a = (vf – vi)/t a = (20m/s-10 m/s) / 5s a = 2 m/s2 F = ma F = (1000 kg) (2 m/s2) = 2000 N

a = (vf – vi)/t F = ma a = (-20m/s-15 m/s) / 0.005s a = -7000 m/s2 Ex G A 60-g tennis ball approaches a racket at 15 m/s, is in contact with the racket for 0.005 s, and then rebounds at 20 m/s. Find the average force exerted by the racket. m = 0.06 kg vi = 15 m/s t = 0.005 s vf = - 20 m/s a = (vf – vi)/t a = (-20m/s-15 m/s) / 0.005s a = -7000 m/s2 F = ma F = (0.06 kg) (-7000 m/s2) = -420 N

= - 3 m/s2 = 10 s d = vit+ .5at2 = 30(10)+ .5 (-3)(10)2 = 150 m Ex H The brakes of a 1000-kg car exert 3000 N. a. How long will it take the car to come to a stop from a velocity of 30 m/s? m = 1000 kg F = -3000 N vi = 30 m/s vf = 0 m/s = - 3 m/s2 = 10 s b. How far will the car travel during this time? d = vit+ .5at2 = 30(10)+ .5 (-3)(10)2 = 150 m

= 1020.4 kg = 3.92 m/s2 vf = vi + at = 0 +3.92(8) = 3.14 m/s Ex I A net horizontal force of 4000 N is applied to a car at rest whose weight is 10,000 N. What will the car's speed be after 8 s? FA = 4000 N Fw = 10,000 N t = 8s = 1020.4 kg = 3.92 m/s2 vf = vi + at = 0 +3.92(8) = 3.14 m/s

Luke Autbeloe drops an approximately 5. 0 kg fat cat (weight = 50 Luke Autbeloe drops an approximately 5.0 kg fat cat (weight = 50.0 N) off the roof of his house into the swimming pool below. Upon encountering the pool, the cat encounters a 50.0 N upward resistance force (assumed to be constant). Use this description to answer the following questions.

Which one of the following dot diagrams best describes the motion of the falling cat from the time that they are dropped to the time that they hit the bottom of the pool? The arrows on the diagram represent the point at which the cat hits the water. Support your answer with sound reasoning.

Tape A is correct. The cat first accelerates with a negative (downward) acceleration until it hits the water. Upon hitting the water, the cat experience a balance of forces (50 N downwards due to gravity and 50 N upwards due to the water). Thus, the cat will finish its motion moving with a constant velocity. Diagram A depicts both the initial downward acceleration and the final constant velocity.

Several of Luke's friends were watching the motion of the falling cat Several of Luke's friends were watching the motion of the falling cat. Being "physics types", they began discussing the motion and made the following comments. Indicate whether each of the comments are correct or incorrect?

Once the cat hits the water, the forces are balanced and the cat will stop. Upon hitting the water, the cat will accelerate upwards because the water applies an upward force. Upon hitting the water, the cat will bounce upwards due to the upwards force.
