1. C H A P T E R 4 Forces and Newton's Laws of Motion

2. 4.6 Types of Forces:
In nature there are two general types of forces, fundamental and non-fundamental.
Fundamental forces:
Gravitational force
Strong nuclear force
Weak nuclear force-----|
Electromagnetic force--!—Electroweak force
Non-fundamental forces:
Pushing, Pulling, Kicking, Grabbing, etc….
These are related to the electromagnetic force. They arise from the interactions between the electrically charged particles that comprise atoms and molecules.

4. Unification of Fundamental Forces

5. Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation
Every body in the universe attracts every other body with a force that is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the bodies and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the bodies.

6. Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation
Every body in the universe attracts every other body with a force that is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the bodies and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the bodies.

7. Universal Gravitational Constant

8. Universal Gravitational Constant
The proportionality constant, G is called the universal gravitational constant. Its value in the SI system of units is, G = 6.67  10-11N.m2/Kg2.

9. Universal Gravitational Constant
The proportionality constant, G is called the universal gravitational constant. Its value in the SI system of units is, G = 6.67  10-11N.m2/Kg2.
The law of gravitation is universal and very fundamental. It can be used to understand the motions of planets and moons, determine the surface gravity of planets, and the orbital motion of artificial satellites around the Earth.

13. Acceleration Due to Gravity
Calculate g for planet Earth at sea level.

14. Weight Weight = Mass x Gravity
The weight of an object is the gravitational force that the planet exerts on the object. The weight always acts downward, toward the center of the planet.
SI Unit of Weight: : newton (N)

15. The Hubble Space Telescope

16. Example 6
The mass of the Hubble Space Telescope is kg. Determine the weight of the telescope (a) when it was resting on the earth and (b) as it is in its orbit 598 km above the earth's surface.

17. 4.8 The Normal Force
The normal force FN is one component of the force that a surface exerts on an object with which it is in contact, namely, the component that is perpendicular to the surface.

18. Normal Force Is Not Always Equal to the Weight
