E N D
Force push or a pull • Contact Force physical contact • Field Forces No contact: gravity, magnetic force, etc.
Inertia • Newton’s 1st Law • An object wants to keep on doing what it is already doing • In order to change, it needs a net force not equal to zero • = Sum of all forces
Newton’s 2nd Law: Acceleration • When you do have a net force… • object will accelerate in direction of the net force • This acceleration is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to its mass
Exploring 2nd Law • Put the two together: • mass units: kg • acceleration units: m/s2 • This makes force units: • 1 kg•m/s2 is called a Newton (N)
Mass is not Weight • Weightis a common force • Weight is the force exerted by gravityon an objects mass • Weight can change if gravity changes
Mass: 70 kg Weight: 700 Newtons (157 pounds) Mass: 70 kg Weight: 112 Newtons (25 pounds) Mass is Same!!
Mass vs. Weight You can convert mass into weight using Newton’s Second Law On Earth, a = 9.8m/s2
Example 2: A 2500 kg car is pushed with a 250 N force, what is the acceleration acting on the car due to the force? If the force is doubled, what will happen to the acceleration?
Example 3: An artillery shell has a mass of 55 kg. The projectile is fired from the piece and has a velocity of 770 m/s when it leaves the barrel. The gun barrel is 1.5 m long. Assuming the force and therefore the acceleration is constant while the projectile is in the barrel, what is the force that acted on the projectile?
Equilibrium vs. Static Equilibrium • If an object is in equilibrium it isnot acceleration (no change in motion) • If an object is in Static equilibrium it isat rest (not moving) • An object is in equilibrium if the sum of the forces acting on the object is zero

What’s up with friction?! f does not actually act on the COM, but at the surface. X 1000 kg • Note: f is a resistiveforce. • it always acts against the motion

2nd Law: Example Calculations:
Practice! • Try # 7 from HW 1
Air Resistance • Most falling objects don’t accelerate at 9.8 m/s2! • Because air resistancemakes objects accelerate less 9.8 m/s2! • Twothings determine the magnitudeof air resistance • surface area (shape) • speed
Terminal Velocity • Terminal velocity is the fastest an object can fall due to air resistance! • When FAir resistance = W an object is falling at terminal velocity and not accelerating
Terminal velocity • When FAir resistance = W the object’s a =zero 10 kg block in freefall traveling at terminal velocity Scenario 1: 10 kg

Newton’s 3rd Law • Equal and Opposite • For every force that one object exerts on a second object, the second object exerts an equal (in size) and opposite (in direction) reaction force on the first object.
Newton’s 3rd Law Subtleties • Forces only come in pairs (you cannot create a single force) • Does action cancel out reaction? • NO! Each force acts on a different object. • Each force has different effect on their object!
Action Fore: A bat applies a force to a baseball. Action force effect: Reaction force: Reaction force effect: • The baseball accelerations a LOT • The baseball applies a force to a bat • The baseball bat (de)accelerates a little
