1. Dynamics What changes the motion of bodies? Forces.
Why things move?
Describing forces
What changes the motion of bodies? Forces.
What keeps bodies moving? No need of forces.
Aristotle ( B.C.) Galileo Galilei ( ) Isaac Newton ( )
Proposed a theory to explain the motion of all objects (celestial or not). Most important in PHY101: Newton’s 3 laws of motion and his law of gravitation.
More an observer than an experimenter.
Performed several careful experiments with falling objects, and published a lot. He challenged Aristotle’s views.
was first demonstrated by Galileo.

2. Types of forces Contact Forces Field Forces Frictional Force
Gravitational Force

Magnetic Force
Air Resistance Force

3. The bigger the mass, more resistance to changes in the motion.
Accidents
Inertia
Inertia is an object tendency to continue in its motion, in the absence of a force.
It is related to mass.
The bigger the mass, more resistance to changes in the motion.

4. Also known as law of inertia or law of equilibrium.
Newton’s First Law
An object remains at rest, or in uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change by an externally imposed force.
Also known as law of inertia or law of equilibrium.
If Fnet = 0 (no net force acting on the body)
and the body is a rest
and the body is moving with constant velocity
then the body remains with v = 0.
then the body remains moving with constant velocity. v
Even today people still believe that a force is required to keep an object moving.

5. Balanced forces is the case described by the 1st Law of Newton.
What does “balanced forces” mean??

6. The forces on the person are balanced.
The floor pushes upward on the person
The forces on the book are balanced.
The table pushes upward on the book
Gravity pulls downward on the book
Gravity pulls downwards on the person

7. Newton’s Second Law
The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the magnitude of the imposed force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. The acceleration is in the same direction as that of the imposed force.
UNIT of force:
1 newton= 1N = 1 kg m/s2 F a m1 m2
The smaller-mass object experiences a larger acceleration than the larger-mass object when identical forces are applied to the two objects.

8. Unbalanced forces is the case described by the 2nd Law of Newton.

9. Just like acceleration, velocity and position.
FORCE IS A VECTOR !!!!
Just like acceleration, velocity and position. + + =

10. Two equal-magnitude horizontal forces act on a box
Two equal-magnitude horizontal forces act on a box. Is the object accelerated horizontally?
Since the two forces are equal in size, and are in opposite directions, they cancel each other out and there is no acceleration.
Yes.
No.
You can’t tell from
this diagram.

11. Is it possible that the box is moving, since the forces are equal in size but opposite in direction?
Even though there is no acceleration, it is possible the object is moving at constant speed.
Yes, it is possible for
the object to be moving.
No, it is impossible for

12. Two equal forces act on an object in the directions shown
Two equal forces act on an object in the directions shown. If these are the only forces involved, will the object be accelerated?
Yes.
No.
It is impossible to determine
from this figure.
The vector sum of the two forces results in a force directed toward the upper right corner. The object will be accelerated toward the upper right corner.

13. A ball hangs from a string attached to the ceiling
A ball hangs from a string attached to the ceiling. What is the net force acting on the ball?
The net force is downward.
The net force is upward.
The net force is zero.
Since the ball is hanging from the ceiling at rest, it is not accelerating so the net force is zero. There are two forces acting on the ball: tension from the string and force due to gravitation. They cancel each other.

14. Two masses connected by a string are placed on a fixed frictionless pulley. If m2 is larger than m1, will the two masses accelerate?
Yes.
No.
You can’t tell
from this diagram.
The acceleration of the two masses will be equal and will cause m2 to fall and m1 to rise.

4) If an object accelerates, a force is acting on it. F
5) If an object isn’t accelerating, no external force is acting on it. F
6) If the net force acting on an object is in the positive x-direction, the object moves only in the positive x-direction.

16. Quick Quiz
Consider the two situations shown in the figure below, in which there is no acceleration. In both cases the men pull with a force of magnitude F. How does the reading on the scale in part (i) of the figure relate to the reading on the scale in part (ii)?
The scale in situation (i) gives the greater reading.
The scale in situation (ii) gives the greater reading.
The scales in both situations give identical readings.

equal to the total weight of the woman plus the toboggan.
greater than the total weight.

possibly greater than or less than the total weight, depending on the size of the weight relative to the tension in the rope.

there is an equal but opposite reaction

28. Two types of friction forces:
Static friction, or also called starting friction: when the object is about to start moving.
Kinetic friction, or also called sliding friction: when the object is MOVING.

Kinetic or peak static friction force?
KINETIC FRICTION

32. Rolling motion of a wheel as a combination of purely rotational motion and purely translational motion.
ROTATIONAL
LINEAR
COMBINATION
The purely rotational motion: all points on the wheel move with the same angular speed ω. Points on the outside edge of the wheel all move with the same linear speed v = vcm.
The purely translational motion: all points on the wheel move to the right with the same linear velocity v as the center of the wheel.
The rolling motion of the wheel is the combination of (a) and (b).
