  1. Playing with FBD’s • We can use an FBD to find an object’s Net Force or Resultant Force • The NET FORCE is the force that has resulted from all the forces acting on an object • We get rid of internal forces that cancel each other out and only look at forces

  2. Calculating Net Force Resultant Force or Net Force • Using a FBD we can sum the vectors acting on an object – this is called the resultant force or the net force (F­net). • Sum the force in the x-direction and y-direction separately

  3. Example # 1 Draw a free body diagram showing a woman lifting a bag of flour with a force of 80 N [up]. If the force of gravity on the bag is 60 N, calculate the Fnet. app=80N + = 80N + (-60N) = 80N – 60N = 20N = 20N [up]

  4. Example # 2 • A race car’s engine applies a force of 2.0 x 104N [fwd]. The force of friction is 7500 N [bwd]. If the normal force has a magnitude of 1.4 x 103N and the force of gravity has a magnitude of 1.4x103N. Draw an FBD with all forces and determine the net force in the x and y direction.

  5. Simnett Tug of War

  6. If There is an Fnet Then there is an acceleration in that same direction.

  7. Galileo’s Contribution • He noticed that object’s which had a force applied to them tended to continue in the same direction. • He called this Inertia • I.e. Dropping a cannonball from a tower • Galileo also proved that objects with the same mass accelerate towards the Earth at the same speed. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/pisa/galileo.html

  8. A Virtual Experiment • We will try Galileo’s Famous Ball Drop Experiment. Galileo’s Experiment

  9. Sir Isaac Newton • He was a 17th century scientist. • He is considered one of the most influential people to the scientific community ever. • He invented three laws of motion which help explain why objects (things with mass) move the way they do.

  10. May the Force Be With You. . . • Acceleration: Any resulting change in velocity is called an acceleration. • Velocity must either be increasing, decreasing or changing direction in order for an acceleration to be occurring.

  11. Inertia • Inertia: Tendency of objects to resist changes in their velocity (i.e. to resist acceleration) • Inertia is proportional to mass • A stationary curling stone on ice can be difficult to start moving but it is difficult to stop once it is moving • A large football player requires a lot of force to get into motion but once in motion, it takes a lot of force to stop them!

  12. Newton’s First Law of Motion • Every object in a state of uniform motion (or at rest) tends to remain in that state of motion (or at rest) unless an external, unbalanced force is applied to it. • This Law is also sometimes called “The Law of Inertia”

  13. Eureka Videos! • Eureka Episode 1: Inertia http://youtu.be/HRq-v4Gmzxg • Eureka Episode 2: Mass http://youtu.be/1i5k5mW8qdI

  14. That Explains A lot! • We can use Newton’s first law to explain and therefore predict the motion of object’s while at rest and while moving. Forces Are Balanced Objects In Motion V = 0 m/s Objects at Rest V= 0 m/s *Note that a=0 m/s2 in both Cases* Object stays moving at same speed and in the same direction Object remains at rest

  15. Comprehension Questions • Do all moving objects have a velocity? How about acceleration? • If an object has a constant velocity (i.e. a car is moving at 80km/hr with the cruise control set (assume no friction)), what is the acceleration equal to? • If an object is at rest (i.e. a car that is stopped at a red light waiting for it to turn green), what is the acceleration? Yes, all objects in motion have a velocity. Not all moving objects experience an acceleration, unless V is going up or down. Acceleration equals 0 because Velocity is constant at 80km/hr and therefore not changing. Acceleration Equals 0. Since there is no Velocity there cannot be a change in V (V=0m/s) and therefore no A (A=0 m/s2 ) .

  16. Summary • If the net force acting on an object is zero, the object will maintain its state of rest or constant velocity Important Points of Newton’s First Law: • Objects at rest tend to stay at rest • Objects in motion tend to stay in motion • If the velocity of an object is changing in either magnitude or direction or both, the change must be caused by a net external force acting on the object.

  17. Applications of Newton’s First Law Why could staying in motion be a problem???

  18. Reason #1: Safety • Restraints in a car like the seatbelt are a great application of Newton’s First Law. • Obeying local speed limits especially when weather conditions are poor is another example why Newton’s First law is very important. • If the speed limit is 60km/hr and you are doing 100km/hr and you contact black ice (frictionless surface) what will happen to the direction of car travel when you turn the wheel? Why does this happen? • What will happen when the car hits a pole? What will happen to the occupants? • Why are seatbelts important according to Newton?

  19. So Buckle Up and Drive Safe!

  20. Newton’s First Law is Fun! • Who likes amusement park rides? • Many rides create “thrilling” experiences by applying Newton’s first law. • Describe how (forces involved etc.) and why these pictures apply to Newton’s First Law:

  21. Newton’s Laws Video Quiz Practice • Think Pair Share • Write: • Law: Newton’s First • Video: • Explanation: • Create an explanation to help me understand Newton’s first law and how it applies to the video without actually stating Newton’s first law

  22. Homework • Explain the following using Newton’s 1stLaw. Make sure you create any relevant FBD’s. • getting water off your toothbrush • getting ketchup out of the bottle • Explain at least three applications where you use Newton’s First LawThe Law of Inertia on a regular basis. Include FBD’s. • Play the Inertia games at http://staweb.sta.cathedral.org/departments/science/physics/inertiagames/

  23. Demonstrations: 1.) Discuss magician’s ability to remove a tablecloth – beaker of water and paper or stack of coins and paper 2.) Pull bill between 2 bottles-1 inverted on top of the other 3.) Coin stack – flick out bottom coin with a ruler 5.) Mark a target on the floor -have a student run at it holding a tennis ball – maintain speed while dropping the ball on the target (ballistic cart if available)
