Force- push or pull • Contact- • Example: • Field- • Example:
Agent- whatever is causing the force • Example: • System- object that the force acts upon • Example:
Free Body Diagram • Draw the system/agent • Label the forces • Choose a direction to be positive • Draw arrows to represent the magnitude of the force
A football is moving upwards towards its peak after having been booted by the punter. Diagram the forces acting upon the football as it rises upward towards its peak
Newton’s 1st Law • An object 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 net force acting on that object is zero
Inertia- tendency of an object to resist change • Examples: • Demos: 1 point Extra Credit! • Must be done in class as a presentation! • Cannot be any that Mrs. Sturgeon has shown in class!
Combining Forces • Net Force- Overall Force of a system • Forces can be combined/subtracted like other vectors
Equilibrium- Net force equals zero • What will the velocity be at equilibrium?____
Deriving a=F/m • If you keep the length of the rubber band the same over time the cart will accelerate w/ a constant rate
The more carts the more force needed to keep the same acceleration • Slope=1/mass so we see a=Force/mass
4.2 • Newton’s 2nd Law • Force=acceleration x mass • In Freefall: Fg=mg • On a Scale: Fsp=FgNet Force=zero • Weight’s unit is _________
Apparent Weight- the force an object experiences as a result of all the forces acting on it, giving the object acceleration • What would happen to your weight if you were on an elevator • Going up? • Going down?
Weightlessness- does not mean an object’s weight is zero, but there are no contact forces
Drag Forces- force exerted by a fluid (air) on an object, the properties of the object, and the properties of the fluid that the object is moving through • Speed • Viscosity • Temperature
Terminal Velocity- constant velocity that is reached when drag force equals the force of gravity
4.3- Interaction Forces • Force is the result of an interaction between two objects • Forces always come in pairs
Interaction pair- 2 forces that are in opposite directions and have equal magnitude • AKA- action-reaction pairs of forces
Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion • All forces come in pairs and they are equal in strength and opposite in direction • Examples:
Forces of Ropes and Strings • Tension- specific name for the force exerted by a string or rope • The tension of the rope is the weight of all objects below it
Tug of War • If both sides are pulling with 500 N: • What is the Net Force? • What is the tension of the rope?
Normal Force • Normal force- the perpendicular contact force exerted by a surface on another object • FN=Fg
