2. Net Force
Net force is the combination of all forces that change an object’s state of motion.
Net force is the of all the forces acting on an object.
𝐹 1
𝐹 𝐹 2 = 𝐹 𝑛𝑒𝑡
𝐹 2

3. The Force of Gravity – a.k.a.
Weight = mg
g = 10 m/s2
The direction of the weight is toward the centre of the earth.
Weight is measured in .
“The Earth exerts on the ball.”

4. Normal Force – a.k.a. Support Force
“The diving board exerts on the dog.”

5. The Force of Friction
depends on the kinds of material and how much they are pressed together.
is due to and to “stickiness” of the atoms on a material’s surface.
Example: Friction between a crate on a wooden floor is less than that on a floor.

6. Sliding Friction
“The ground exerts a on Suleyman.”

7. Static Friction
“The ground exerts a on the shoe.”

10. The Net Force A car is parked on flat, horizontal pavement.
The “net force” is the vector sum of all the forces on the car.
What is the direction of the net force on the car? Up
Down
The net force is zero

11. Mass and Weight 1 kilogram weighs (9.8 newtons to be precise).
Relationship between kilograms and pounds:
1 kg weighs lb = N at Earth’s surface
1 lb = N
4.54 kg weighs lbs

12. Mass Resists Acceleration
The same force applied to
Twice the mass produces half the acceleration.
3 times the mass, produces 1/3 the acceleration.
Acceleration is inversely proportional to mass.

13. 2
Newton’s Second Law
The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it, and inversely proportional to its mass.

14. A fan attached to a cart causes it to accelerate at 2 m/s2.
Suppose the same fan is attached to a second cart with smaller mass.
The mass of the second cart plus fan is half the mass of the first cart plus fan. The acceleration of the second cart is
16 m/s2.
8 m/s2.
4 m/s2.
2 m/s2.
1 m/s2.

15. Chapter 4, Problem 7
A rock band’s tour bus of mass M is accelerating away from a stop sign at a rate of 1.2 m/s2.
Suddenly a piece of heavy metal, mass M/6, falls onto the top of the bus and remains there.
What is the acceleration of the bus + metal?

16. Free Fall The greater the mass of the object…
the its force of attraction toward the Earth.
the its tendency to move i.e., the greater its inertia.
So, the acceleration is
It is equal to the acceleration due to gravity: m/s2
(precisely 9.8 m/s2).

17. Free Fall When acceleration is g—free fall
Newton’s second law provides an explanation for the accelerations of freely falling objects of various masses.
Acceleration is when air resistance is negligible.
Acceleration depends on (weight) and

The acceleration of the basketball is 10 times greater than the acceleration of the tennis ball
The acceleration of both balls is the same
The acceleration of the basketball is slightly larger than the acceleration of the tennis ball

20. Non-Free Fall
When an object falls downward through the air it experiences:
force of gravity pulling it
air drag force acting .
R depends on the of the object relative to the air, and the of the object

21. Terminal Speed R increases with
Net force goes to when the object is moving fast enough so that R = mg (air resistance = weight)
Then no net force
No acceleration
Velocity does not change

22. Non-Free Fall—Example
A skydiver jumps from plane.
Weight is the only force until acts.
As falling speed increases, air resistance on diver builds up, net force is reduced, and acceleration becomes .
When air resistance equals the diver’s weight, net force is and acceleration terminates.
Diver reaches terminal velocity, then continues the fall at .

Something to think about:
There are two seemingly identical mouse traps sitting on the floor. They have the same mass, size, colour, shape and smell.
One has been set by bending the spring back and hooking it, the other is not set.
