What causes motion In our everyday life we observe that objects change their state of motion. In fact everything that happens in the Universe results from a change in motion. That is a static inert object does not contribute to any of the things we consider to be useful. The functioning of our body depends on continual change throughout our bodies. These changes are produced by forces and in our everyday life there are just two forces. Gravity acts on mass Electric charge F = Gm1m2/r2 F = kq1q2/r2 12/3/2018 12/3/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2014 2

Newtons Second and First Law
Second Law The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the magnitude of the imposed force and inversely proportional to the mass. The acceleration is in the same direction as the force F = ma F and a are vectors unit is a Newton (or pound) 1lb = 4.448N First Law An object remains at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless it is acted on by an external force. F = 0 a = 0 so v = constant (anim0003.mov) (anim0004.mov) 12/3/2018 12/3/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2014 3

Force at the earths surface
F = GMEm/rE2 But F = ma = mg so g = GME/rE2 Famous experiment by Cavendish Measured F = Gm1m2/r2 using two known masses in the laboratory and so measured G Then using g = GME/rE2 he determined the mass of the earth rE 12/3/2018 12/3/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2014 4

Mass and weight Newtons second law enables us to measure relative mass. If we apply the same force to two objects and measure the accelerations then. F = m1a1 and F = m2a2 so m1/m2 = a2/a1 We then need to have one mass as a calibration and a kilogram is the mass of a piece of platinum held in Paris. Since gravity acts proportional to mass then the force near the earths surface is F = mg this is the weight of an object so if we compare F1 = m1g and F2 = m2g then weight 1/weight 2 = m1/m2 12/3/2018 12/3/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2014 5

Inertia Inertia = tendency of an object to resist changes in its velocity. Since F = ma and a = Δv/t then Ft = mΔv So if a force acts for a time t the change in velocity will be smaller for larger masses so it is mass that determines inertia. In particular if t is very small and m is large then F can also be large but Δv can still be very small. 12/3/2018 12/3/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2014 6

How to remove the paper without toppling the rod ?
1F-04 Brass Rod (Inertia) How to remove the paper without toppling the rod ? One needs to remove the paper quickly so that the frictional force only lasts for a short time and the inertia of the rod prevents it from toppling over. 12/3/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2014

1F-05 Coin, Hoop & Milk Bottle (Inertia)
How can you get the coin into the bottle without touching it ? Don’t know WHY??!! This is actually a trick which depends on hitting the ring so that the top deflects down and the coin is free to drop 12/3/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2014

1F-06 Inertial Ball Case 1: Place the aluminum rod in the lower loop and pull SLOWLY downward. Case 2: Use the wooden mallet to strike a sharp blow to the aluminum rod. Which string breaks first ? IF IT IS DONE SLOWLY THE UPPER STRING BREAKS FIRST BECAUSE THE TENSION IN THAT STRING WILL BE THE WEIGHT OF THE BALL PLUS THE TENSION IN THE LOWER STRING. IF THE LOWER STRING IS STRETCHED SUFFICIENTLY RAPIDLY, IT WILL REACH ITS BREAKING POINT BEFORE THE BALL HAS A CHANCE TO MOVE APPRECIABLY. 12/3/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2014

Why does it work less well as the stack gets shorter ?
1F-02 Stack of Washers This is a demonstration of Inertia where a washer can be removed from a stack if the blow is fast. Why does it work less well as the stack gets shorter ? Strike the stack quickly. So the friction will be very short-lived and the stack will not gain speed before the force is gone. THIS TENDENCY TO RESIST CHANGES IN THEIR STATE OF MOTION IS DESCRIBED AS INERTIA. MASS IS A MEASURE OF THE AMOUNT OF INERTIA. SO FOR A FIXED FRICTIONAL FORCE ACTING FOR A SHORT TIME. THE BIGGER THE MASS, THE LESS IT WILL MOVE. 12/3/2018 12/3/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2014 10

1F-07 Table Cloth Jerk Can the table cloth be removed without breaking any dishes ? THERE IS A FORCE ACTING ON THE DISHES, BUT IT LASTS FOR A VERY SHORT TIME. COMBINED WITH THE RELATIVELY LARGE MASS OF THE DISHES, THIS FORCE IS OVER SO QUICKLY AND IS SO SMALL THAT THE DISHES HARDLY MOVE. 12/3/2018 12/3/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2014 11

Is it possible to get the eggs in the beakers without touching them ?
1F-03 Egg drop Is it possible to get the eggs in the beakers without touching them ? IF THE PAN IS HIT SHARPLY A FORCE WILL ACT ON THE EGGS FOR A VERY SHORT TIME AND THEY WILL NOT MOVE HORIZONTALLY. THE PAN HAS TO BE HIT HARD ENOUGH SO THAT HAS MOVED OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE THE EGGS DROP ANY APPRECIABLE DISTANCE 12/3/2018 12/3/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2014 12

Friction In our everyday world any object which is moving feels a force opposing the motion this is friction. An object which is sliding The air resistance on your car These types of friction result in energy being lost and minimizing friction is very important. But: Friction is also useful and essential since with no friction a car would not move but just spin it’s wheels a car would not be able to turn a corner we would not be able to walk objects would slide off surfaces unless perfectly horizontal 12/3/2018 12/3/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2014 13

Force diagrams When we are analyzing a particular object we
have to take into account all the forces acting on the body both in magnitude and direction. The acceleration of the object is equal to F/m in the direction of F where F is the net force acting. As in the example above we know that if we want to move an object that there is a force called friction which opposes what we want to do. In the case shown the 10N force is + and the 2N force - so the net force is 8N and 8 = 5a 12/3/2018 12/3/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2014 14
15
Terminal velocity Fair Ftire Freaction – Fair = ma Freaction v Ff
As an object moves through the atmosphere the air exerts a frictional retarding force which increases with velocity. So an object that is dropped from a great height first accelerates at 9.8m/s2 but this acceleration decreases until the retarding force = mg and at that point the acceleration is zero and the object has it’s terminal velocity. Could a penny dropped from the top of the Empire State building Kill you? How about a pen? When a car is moving at constant speed on the highway the forward force produced by the engine is balanced by the frictional force of the air. v mg Mg – Ff =ma Ftire Freaction Fair Freaction – Fair = ma 12/3/2018 12/3/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2014 15

Reaction action: Newtons Third Law
For every force that acts on a body there is an equal and opposite reaction force. You pull on the block the block pulls back on you The floor exerts a frictional force holding the block back The block exerts a frictional force on the floor trying to move the floor to the right. The block accelerates providing F > Ff F Ff 12/3/2018 12/3/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2014 16
17
Force analysis To analyze the motion of an object we need to draw a diagram and put in all the forces that are acting on the object. We will only deal with problems that have an acceleration along a single axis. The net force along an axis perpendicular to this axis is zero DRAW A FORCE DIAGRAM We normally choose + in the direction of the acceleration. We now can use the equations F = ma v = v0 + at d = v0t + ½ at2 v2 = v02 + 2ad F Ff 12/3/2018 12/3/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2014 17

Reaction action forces
mg N For the book Nt = mg DRAW A FORCE DIAGRAM For the table Nearth = mg + mtableg mg Ne mtableg For a stack of plates or a brick wall and even a mountain each layer has to support the weight of everything higher. So for a stack of 48 plates the force on the second plate from the top is mg. For the bottom plate it is 47mg but of course each plate has a net force of mg to balance it’s own weight. 12/3/2018 12/3/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2014 18

1H-02 Fan Cart (Action-Reaction)
Can a fan attached to a cart propel the cart? What if the sail is removed? Action Reaction In which direction will it move ? What if the sail is canted at an angle ? Someone is stranded in a boat but has a battery-operated fan. The stranded party decides to direct the fan toward the sail and propel the boat home. Will this work? What if the sail is canted at an angle so that the air strikes the sail at an angle rather than dead on? INTERNAL FORCES IN A SYSTEM CANCEL EACH OTHER WHEN THE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE IS CONSIDERED. SO IF THE SAIL IS PERPENDICULAR THE FAN DOES NOT MOVE. IF THE SAIL IS REMOVED THE FAN MOVES IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION TO WHICH IT BLOWS AIR. THE FAN WOULD NOT MOVE IN OUTER SPACE. 12/3/2018 12/3/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2014 19

1H-03 CO2 Rocket ROCKET PROPULSION !
Imagine that you are sitting in a cart with a pile of bricks. How could you use the bricks to get yourself and the cart to move ? What would happen if you throw a brick out of the cart ? Then you throw out another . What if you throw smaller bricks faster and more frequently ? Now, if the bricks were the size of molecules. . . What happens when the fire extinguisher rapidly “throws” out CO 2 molecules ? THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN THE FAN CART. CO2 IS EXPELLED AT HIGH VELOCITY AND IN TERMS OF FORCES THE REACTION FORCE CAUSES THE CART TO MOVE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. THE QUANTITY CALLED MOMENTUM IS CONSERVED AND THE MASS OF THE CO2 X AVERAGE SPEED = TOTAL MASS OF THE CART X AVERAGE VELOCITY. THIS IS HOW A ROCKET IS ACCELERATED AND IT WORKS IN OUTER SPACE. Because the repulse 12/3/2018 12/3/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2014 20

Reaction = Bulb Spins Action = Ejects Steam THE REACTION FORCE TO THE EJECTION OF MASS CAUSES THE OBJECT TO SPIN. THIS IS THE SAME AS THE CO2 ROCKET IN THAT MATERIAL IS EXPELLED AT HIGH VELOCITY 12/3/2018 12/3/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2014 21

THE SCALE MEASURES THE TENSION IN THE CORD. FOR EXAMPLE THE TENSION IN A ROPE IS THE SAME IF TWO PEOPLE PULL ON EACH END WITH FORCE F OR IF ONE PERSON PULLS WITH FORCE F TO A ROPE TIED TO A WALL. mg 12/3/2018 12/3/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2014 22

Connected objects T Both objects have the same acceleration
The coupling pulls back on the 4kg mass but accelerates the 2kg mass. 30 – 8 – T = 4a T – 6 = 2a Or 30 – 8 – 6 = 6a a = 16/6 m/s2 T = 68/6N If I have a freight train with 100 cars each of mass m then for the coupling between the engine and the first car T1 = 100ma And between the last two cars T99 = ma or 100 times less 12/3/2018 12/3/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2014 24
25
Connected objects 6mg 7mg F4 = 4ma F3 = 3ma F
In the example shown each brick has a net upward force = mg down. But each brick has to support all the bricks above it. So the 7th brick has a downward force on it’s top surface of 6mg and an upward force of 7mg on it’s bottom surface. In the example shown of 7 equal mass objects being accelerated F = 7ma. The tension in each coupling pulls back on the mass ahead and accelerates the mass behind. So F4 =4ma but the net force on block 4 is 4ma – 3ma = ma. So the net force on each block is ma but the tension in each coupling reduces by ma as one goes down the chain. 12/3/2018 12/3/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2014 25

Acceleration of a car Fair Freaction – Fair = ma Ftire Freaction
Generally Fair is proportional to v2 so the difference between 55mph and 80mph is a factor of This means you use 2.16 more gasoline to cover the same distance Travel from Indianapolis to Lafayette a distance of 60 miles Car does 30miles/gallon at 55mph gas costs $4/gallon At 55mph use 2 gallons cost 8$ time = minutes At 80 mph use 4.32 gallons cost $ time = 45 minutes Cost of saving minutes = $9.28 12/3/2018 12/3/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2014 26

Summary of Chapter 4 Forces are responsible for all physical phenomena
Gravitation and the electromagnetic force are responsible for all the phenomena we normally observe in our everyday life. Newton’s laws F = ma where F is net force v = v0 + at d = v0t + ½ at d = ½(v + v0)t v2 = v02 + 2ad Every force produces an equal and opposite reaction Weight = mg where g = 9.8m/s2 locally Apparent weight in an elevator depends on the acceleration a up weight is higher a down weight is lower If your weight becomes zero it’s time to worry because you are in free fall!! 12/3/2018 12/3/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2014 27

Sailing Up Wind The force on the sail
balances out the force on the keel and leaves a component of force “against the wind”. Then F = ma and the boat will increase speed until the component of the wind force equals the drag force The sail and keel forces are like lift forces on an airplane wing An example is when the boat is moving perpendicular to the wind the force of the winds on the sails remains constant. The sails are set at about 450 to the direction of motion and the wind. The boats equilibrium speed is determined by the resistance to the motion. If the resistance can be made small the boat speed can be very high. Sail iceboats have very little resistance and reach speeds in excess of 90mph with wind speeds of 30mph 12/3/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2014

It’s mass will not change but it’s weight wil be 6 times less Q22 The engine of a car is part of the car and cannot push directly on the car in order to accelerate it. What external force acting on the car is responsible for the acceleration of the car on a level road surface? Explain. Ftire Freaction Fair It’s the reaction force between the tires and the road Q23 It is difficult to stop a car on icy road surface. It is also difficult to accelerate a car on this same icy road? Explain. Because of a lack of friction the wheels will skid or spin 12/3/2018 12/3/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2014 30

Q25 When a magician performs the tablecloth trick, the objects on the table do not move very far. Is there a horizontal force acting on these objects while the tablecloth is being pulled off the table? Why do the objects not move very far? Explain. Yes but the force acts for a very short time and the objects start to move, then when the cloth is gone friction stops them. • m2 m1 Q30 Two masses, m1 and m2, connected by a string, are placed upon a fixed frictionless pulley as shown in the diagram.

They will accelerate F = ma B. The tension will be less 12/3/2018 12/3/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2014 32

Q33 If you get into an elevator on the top floor of a large building and the elevator begins to accelerate downward, will the normal force pushing up on your feet be greater than, equal to, or less than the force of gravity pulling downward on you? Explain. mg N g + a N – mg = ma but a is negative so N is smaller than mg The only force pulling you down is gravity so if you are accelerating down the force due to gravity must be larger than the reaction force N ( N is apparent weight) 12/3/2018 12/3/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2014 33
