Newton’s First Law: An object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion continues in motion with constant velocity (constant speed in straight line) unless acted on by a net external force. CHAPTER 4The Laws of Motion • “in motion” • or • “at rest” – with respect to the chosen frame of reference • “net force” – vector sum of all the external forces acting on the object • – FNet,x and FNet,y calculated separately • Forces: Contact Forces • *Applied Forces (push or pull) • *Normal Force (supporting force) • *Frictional Force (opposes motion) • Field Forces • *Gravitational • ·Magnetic • ·Electrostatic • *The typical four forces analyzed in our study of classical mechanics
Newton’s Second Law: The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it FNet = ma • Mass – The measurement of inertia (“inertial mass”) • Inertia – The tendency of an object to resist any attempt to change its motion • Book Example: • Strike golf ball w/golf club • Strike bowling ball w/golf club • Which has greatest inertia? • Which has greatest mass? Dimensional Analysis F = ma = kg x m/s2 = newton = N 1 newton = 1 kg · m/s2
Weight and the Gravitational Force Mass – an amount of matter (“gravitational mass”) “Your mass on the Moon equals your mass on Earth.” Weight – the magnitude of the force of gravity acting on an amount of matter F = ma Fg = mg w = mg NOTE: Your text treats weight (w) as a scalar rather than as a vector. Example Your mass is 80kg. What is your weight? w = 80kg · 9.8m/s2 w = 780 kg·m/s2 w = 780 N
Example: (Contact Force) Book Table Example: (Field Force) Earth Moon FMoon FEarth Newton’s Third Law: If two objects interact, the force exerted on object 1 by object 2 is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force exerted on object 2 by object 1 Book pushes down on table with force of 9.8.N Table pushes up on book with force of 9.8.N Net Force on book =9.8N – 9.8N = 0N Hence, book does not accelerate up or down. Earth pulls on Moon equal to the force the Moon pulls on Earth.

The frictional force opposing the motion is 15N. How fast does the cart accelerate? Fa = 25N Ff = 15N FNet,x = 25N – 15N = ma = 10.N = 55kg·a Fg = mg = 55kg · 9.8m/s2 = 540N FN = Fg = 540N a = .18m/s2

The motorist pulls the cat by its tail which is at an angle of 37° to the horizontal. A force of 25N is applied. The force of friction opposing motion is 18N. How fast does the cat accelerate? =25N 59N= 18N= =74N m = 7.5kg Fa = 25N Fa,x = Fa cos37 = 20.N Fa,y = Fa sin 37 = 15N FN + Fa,y = Fg (up forces equal down forces) Fg = mg = 74N FN = 74N – 15N FN = 59N Ff = 18N FNet,x = Fa,x – Ff = ma 20.N – 18N = 7.5kg · a a = .27m/s2
Friction Friction opposes motion. Kinetic Friction opposes motion of a moving object. Static Friction opposes motion of a stationary object. Ff = FN static = coefficient of static friction kinetic = coefficient of kinetic friction s > k Why? Static condition: peaks and valleys of the two surfaces overlap each other. Kinetic Condition: surfaces slide over each other touching only at their peaks s > kFf,s> Ff,k Applied Physics Example: Anti-lock Brakes

The box which has a mass of 15kg begins to move when the applied force reaches 50.N. What is the coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface? Fa = Fa,x = Fa,y = Fg = FN + Fa,y = Fg FN = 120N 50.N Fa cos 37 = 40.N Fa sin 37 = 30.N mg = 150N Fa,x Ff,s = At the point where box started to move Ff,s = s FN = Fa,x = s· 120N = 40N s = .33
y x Fgx Fgy = 30° Fg Forces on an Inclined Plane Fg is always directed straight down. We then choose a Frame of Reference where the x-axis is parallel to the incline and the y-axis perpendicular to the incline. Fg,x = Fg sin Fg,y = Fg cos FN = Fg,y (in opposite direction) Fa and Ff will be along our new x-axis

Solve the Problem Fa – Ff – Fg,x = 245N – 120.N – 123N = 2N FNet,x = max 2N = 25.0kg · ax FNet,x = ax = .08 m/s2 NOTE: The box may be moving up the incline at any velocity. However, at the specified conditions it will be accelerating.
