PHYS16 – Lecture 9 Force and Newton’s Laws September 27, 2010 Hey, how come we’re not moving?
Review: 1D & 2D Motion • For projectile motion, the angle that gives you the maximum range is: A) 90 degrees B) 45 degrees C) 15 degrees D) 55 degrees
Review: 1D & 2D Motion • For projectile motion, the angle that gives you the maximum height is: A) 90 degrees B) 45 degrees C) 15 degrees D) 55 degrees
Review: 1D & 2D Motion • When analyzing the motion of an object, motion in x is ________ motion in y. A) related to B) perpendicular C) coupled to D) independent of
Review: 1D & 2D Motion • Constant, non-zero acceleration in y leads to displacement in y that is A) linear B) parabolic C) constant D) exponential
Key Concepts: Force • Force • Definition and Types • Center of Mass • Free Body Diagrams • Newton’s Laws • Friction
Force - Definition • A push or a pull that can change an object’s motion Contact Forces – need to contact object Tension – reaction force along rope away from object Compression – a push Normal – reaction force that is perpendicular to surface Friction – breaking of bonds along surface that resist motion Biological – forces applied by people Fundamental Forces – Long range Gravity – attraction btw masses Electromagnetic – attraction/repulsion btw charges Strong – holds protons & neutrons in nucleus Weak – responsible for neutrino/beta decay
Most Common Forces • Gravity • Normal • Tension • Friction
Forces act at: • Contact forces act at the point of contact • If we can assume the object is a point object then we can draw these forces acting at the center of mass • Long range forces act at the center of mass
Center of Mass • Center of mass is geometric center of object weighted by the object’s mass distribution • Assume density is the same throughout following objects and find center of mass:
Free Body Diagrams • Simplified picture of the object + the forces acting on the object • Relevant axes are defined • Forces are drawn at the point of action • Ex. Book on a table |FN| |Fg|=mbookg
Free Body Diagram Practice • Cat falling out of window • Person pushing on wall • Car moving down highway • Block on incline
