2. General Force Model Newton 0th Law Objects are dumb - They have no memory of the past and cannot predict the future. Objects only know what is acting directly on them right now Newton's 1st Law An object that is at rest will remain at rest and an object that is moving will continue to move in a straight line with constant speed, if and only if the sum of the forces acting on that object is zero. Newton's 3rd Law Recall that a force is an interaction between two objects. If object A exerts a force on object B then object B exerts a force on object that is in the opposite direction, equal in magnitude, and of the same type. Visualizations: Force Diagrams System Schema

3. Net Force Model Slide 4-19 Newton's 2nd Law acceleration of an object = sum of forces acting on that object / the mass of the object Note: Solve Newton’s 2nd Law equations in component form Visualizations: Force Diagram System Schema Motion visualizations as needed Remainder of week: Friction Model Apparent Weight

4. Static & Kinetic Friction - Part II Describe what is happening to the forces on the box and the effect of the forces on the motion of the box from the pictures. Slide 4-19

5. Static & Kinetic Friction - Part III Below is graph of the friction force exerted by the table on the box. A.Label times a-f that match the free-body diagrams in the previous problem. B.If the mass of the box is 3.0 kg, the maximum F fs is 10 N, and F fk has an average of 6.0 N, find the coefficients of static and kinetic friction. Slide 4-19

6. Brainstorm: What do we know about Friction Force? 1.Seems to relate to pushing force (Drag Force?) 2.- Increases with more contact surface - Not dependent on surface area, but surface type 3.Car needs friction for acceleration including steering 4.Can determine acceleration along with other forces 5.2 types static and kinetic, once object starts moving crosses from F fs to F fk / also rotational/rolling Friction is smallest friction 6.Caused by electron repulsion between two objects 7.- Friction opposes (in opposite direction of) applied force - Direction of Friction force is Opposite of direction of motion / acceleration - Parallel to motion / Resists force of acceleration 8.Friction Force is a contact force that acts on an object by its surface 9.Converts Kinetic Energy to Thermal Energy 10.Friction Force depends on what is in contact (involves a coefficient  ) 11.Friction is resistance between 2 surfaces in contact / resists change 12.Friction does not depend on mass / related to weight 13.It slows things down and makes them stop (can be small/negligible) 14.Can occur doing motion or without motion 15.It acts two ways 16.It usually accompanies a normal force / perpendicular to normal force 17.It is in the negative y direction, parallel to the surface of an object 18.F fs > F fk - initially starting object moving is harder than keeping it moving

7. Demonstrations: What do we know about Friction Force? 2 - Increases with more contact surface - Not dependent on surface area, but surface type Does our model of friction depend on area? Does real friction depend on area?

8. Demonstration: What do we know about Friction Force? 7 - Friction opposes (in opposite direction of) applied force - Direction of Friction force is Opposite of direction of motion / acceleration - Parallel to motion / Resists force of acceleration Does friction always oppose motion?

9. Brainstorm: What do we know about Friction Force? 18. F fs > F fk - initially starting object moving is harder than keeping it moving

13. Parking on a Hill Slide 4-19 A.If you park on a hill with a 10 degree slope with the car held by the parking brake, what is the magnitude of the frictional force that holds your car in place? B.The coefficient of static friction between your car's wheels and the road when wet is 0.30. What is the largest angle slope on which you can park your car in the rain so that it will not slide down the hill? C.The coefficient of kinetic friction between your wheels and the wet road surface is 0.25. If someone gave your your car a push on the wet hill and it started sliding down, what would its acceleration be?

14. A 50 kg student gets in a 1000 kg elevator at rest. As the elevator begins to move, she has an apparent weight of 600 N for the first 3 s. How far has the elevator moved, and in which direction, at the end of 3 s? Example Problem Slide 5-25

17. Scales and Elevators (Apparent Weight) Slide 4-19 Consider a person with a mass of 60 kg is in an elevator standing on a scale. The elevator is accelerating upward. Draw a system schema and 2 force diagrams: One for the person and one for the scale What does the scale read? Use Newton’s 2nd law to determine what the scale reads (This is apparent weight)

18. Scales and Elevators (Apparent Weight) Slide 4-19 Suppose a person with a mass of 60 kg is in an elevator standing on a scale. Use the system schema and force diagrams of the scale and the person to determine what the scale would read for the following situations: A. If the elevator is descending at 4.9 m/s. B. If the elevator has a downward acceleration of 4.9 m/s/s. C. If the elevator has an upward acceleration of 4.9 m/s/s.
