  1. Newton’s Second Law The Mathematical One

  2. What is the relationship? Think of a race car! Force is generated by the engine Acceleration is how fast it increases it’s speed off the line

  3. Student Race… • Let’s hit the hall!

  4. What are the relationships? • Force is proportional to acceleration • If F  then a  (Mass constant) • Force is proportional to mass • If F  then m  (Acceleration constant) • Acceleration is inversely proportional to mass • If a  then m  (Force constant)

  5. Scenario 1: • Talk to your partner about how these relationships apply to: You are late for school and your mom pulls up behind a transport truck. What would the impact be if it was: Empty? Full?

  6. Scenario 2: • Talk to your partner about how these relationships apply to: You have 2 cars that have the same mass – one car has the engine of a Ford Focus, the other has the engine of a Ford Mustang. Assume both overall masses are the same

  7. Newton’s Second Law • When a net force acts on an object, the object accelerates in the direction of the net force. FNET = ma Unit Analysis: 1N = 1 kg۰m/s2

  8. Example # 1: • A student is bowling with her friends. She gives a 7.0 kg bowling ball an acceleration of 5.0 m/s2 [forward]. Calculate the net force she exerted on the ball. ā = 5.0 m/s2 m = 7.0 kg Fnet = mā = (7.0 kg)(5.0 m/s2 [forward]) = 35 N [forward]

  9. Example 2: A motorcycle and driver have a combined mass of 280 kg. They accelerate from 7.0 m/s [E] to 34 m/s [E] in 4.2 s. What is the net force on the motorcycle and driver?

  10. m = 280 kg v1 = 7.0 m/s [E] v2 = 34 m/s [E] Δt = 4.2 s Solve for ā first ā = v2 – v1 Δt = 34 m/s [E] – 7.0 m/s [E] 4.2 s = 6.4 m/s2 [E] Fnet =ma = (280 kg)(6.4 m/s2 [E]) = 1.8 x 103 N [E]

  11. Newton’s Second Law and Motion Day 2 – The Real Math

  12. Motion Equations BOTH!!! Forces

  13. Example 1: A rocket ship has engines that can produce a force of 1.8x105N [up]. If the ship has a mass of 1.3x104kg. • What will the acceleration of the ship be? • What will it’s speed be after 10s?

  14. Example 1: A driver approaches an intersection at a velocity of 14 m/s [forward] when the light turns amber. The driver applies the brakes to get the maximum stopping force. The car has a mass of 1500 kg, and the force of friction between the tires and the road is 1.1 x 104N. Ignoring the driver's reaction time calculate: a.) the maximum deceleration of the car b.) the minimum stopping time c.) the minimum stopping distance

  15. Example 2: An elevator, including passengers, has a mass of 600 kg. When leaving the first floor, it accelerates upward at 2.0 m/s2. What force is the cable exerting on the elevator?
