  1. Chapter 4 The Laws of Motion

  2. Sir Isaac Newton • 1642 – 1727 • Formulated basic concepts and laws of mechanics • Universal Gravitation • Calculus • Light and optics

  3. Classical Mechanics • Describes the relationship between the motion of objects in our everyday world and the forces acting on them • Conditions when Classical Mechanics does not apply • very tiny objects (< atomic sizes) • objects moving near the speed of light

  4. Slide 4-3

  5. What Causes Motion? In the absence of any forces acting on it, an object will continue moving forever. Motion needs no “cause.” Slide 4-15

  6. Slide 4-4

  7. What Is a Force? A force... ... is a push or a pull. ... acts on an object. ... requires an agent. ... is a contact force or a long-range force. ... is a vector. Slide 4-17

  8. Fundamental Forces • Types • Strong nuclear force – attractive force that binds quarks to form protons & neutrons (strongest force) • Electromagnetic force – binding atoms and molecules to each other • Weak nuclear force – binding force between protons and neutrons • Gravity- attractive force between masses (weakest of all types of forces) • Characteristics • All field forces • Listed in order of decreasing strength • Only gravity and electromagnetic in mechanics

  9. Units of Force • SI unit of force is a Newton (N) • US Customary unit of force is a pound (lb) • 1 N = 0.225 lb • See table 4.1, Page 85

  10. Forces • Usually think of a force as a push or pull • Vector quantity • May be a contact force or a field force • Contact forces result from physical contact between two objects • Field forces act between disconnected objects • Also called “action at a distance”

  11. Contact and Field Forces • Elastic force of a spring • b) Component pulling force • c) Component pushing force • Gravitational force of two masses • b) Electrical force of attraction • c) Magnetic force

  12. External and Internal Forces • External force • Any force that results from the interaction between the object and its environment • Internal forces • Forces that originate within the object itself (molecular cohesiveness, frictions) • They cannot change the object’s velocity

  13. Force Vectors Slide 4-18

  20. Identifying Forces Slide 4-25

  21. Example Problem A block is dragged uphill by a rope. Identify all forces acting on the block. Slide 4-26

  22. Example Problem Block A hangs from the ceiling by a rope. Another block B hangs from A. Identify the forces acting on A. Slide 4-27

  23. Example Problem A ball, hanging from the ceiling by a string, is pulled back and released. Identify the forces acting on it just after its release. Slide 4-28

  24. Reading Quiz • A “net force” is • the sum of the magnitudes of all the forces acting on an object. • the difference between two forces that are acting on an object. • the vector sum of all the forces acting on an object. • the force with the largest magnitude acting on an object. Slide 4-7

  25. Answer • A “net force” is • the sum of the magnitudes of all the forces acting on an object. • the difference between two forces that are acting on an object. • the vector sum of all the forces acting on an object. • the force with the largest magnitude acting on an object. Slide 4-8

  26. Reading Quiz • Which of the following is NOT one of the steps used to identify the forces acting on an object? • Name and label each force the object exerts on the environment. • Name and label each contact force acting on the object. • Draw a picture of the situation. • Identify “the system” and “the environment.” • Name and label each long-range force acting on the object. Slide 4-9

  27. Answer • Which of the following is NOT on of the steps used to identify the forces acting on an object? • Name and label each force the object exerts on the environment. • Name and label each contact force acting on the object. • Draw a picture of the situation. • Identify “the system” and “the environment.” • Name and label each long-range force acting on the object. Slide 4-10

  28. Reading Quiz • Which of these is not a force discussed in this chapter? • The tension force. • The normal force. • The orthogonal force. • The thrust force. Slide 4-11

  29. Answer • Which of these is not a force discussed in this chapter? • The tension force. • The normal force. • The orthogonal force. • The thrust force. Slide 4-12

  30. Reading Quiz • An action/reaction pair of forces • point in the same direction. • act on the same object. • are always long-range forces. • act on two different objects. Slide 4-13

  31. Answer • An action/reaction pair of forces • point in the same direction. • act on the same object. • are always long-range forces. • act on two different objects. Slide 4-14

  32. Newton’s First Law • An object moves with a velocity that is constant in magnitude and direction, unless acted on by a nonzero net force • The net force is defined as the vector sum of all the external forces exerted on the object

  33. Mass • A measure of the resistance of an object to changes in its motion due to a force • As a quantity of mass increases, it becomes more resistant to changes in its motion and will require greater force to overcome the inertia • Scalar quantity – direction does not matter • SI units are kg

  34. Inertia • Is the tendency of an object to continue in its original motion • Includes resting inertia and rotational inertia of a mass

  35. Summary Slide 4-39

  36. Slide 4-5

  37. Newton’s Second Law Slide 4-29

  38. Gravitational Force • Mutual force of attraction between any two objects • Expressed by Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation: Gis the universal gravitational constant and has a value of 6.67 x 10-11 m3/kg-s-2

  39. Weight • The magnitude of the gravitational force acting on an object of mass m near the Earth’s surface is called the weight w of the object • w = mg is a special case of Newton’s Second Law • g is the acceleration due to gravity and has a value of 9.80 m/s2 • g can also be found from the Law of Universal Gravitation

  40. More about weight • Weight is not an inherent property of an object • mass is an inherent property • Weight depends upon location

  41. Example Problem • An elevator, lifted by a cable, is going up at a steady speed. • Identify the forces acting on the elevator. • Is T greater than, equal to, or less than w? Or is there not enough information to tell? Slide 4-30

  42. Checking Understanding • An object, when pushed with a net force F, has an acceleration of 2 m/s2. Now twice the force is applied to an object that has four times the mass. Its acceleration will be • ½ m/s2. • 1 m/s2. • 2 m/s2. • 4 m/s2. Slide 4-33

  43. Answer • An object, when pushed with a net force F, has an acceleration of 2 m/s2. Now twice the force is applied to an object that has four times the mass. Its acceleration will be • ½ m/s2. • 1 m/s2. • 2 m/s2. • 4 m/s2. Slide 4-34

  44. Checking Understanding • A 40-car train travels along a straight track at 40 mph. A skier speeds up as she skis downhill. On which is the net force greater? • The train. • The skier. • The net force is the same on both. • There’s not enough information to tell. Slide 4-35

  45. Answer • A 40-car train travels along a straight track at 40 mph. A skier speeds up as she skis downhill. On which is the net force greater? • The train. • The skier. • The net force is the same on both. • There’s not enough information to tell. Slide 4-36

  46. Checking Understanding • 10-year-old Sarah stands on a skateboard. Her older brother Jack starts pushing her backward and she starts speeding up. The force of Jack on Sarah is • greater than the force of Sarah on Jack. • equal to than the force of Sarah on Jack. • less than the force of Sarah on Jack. Slide 4-37

  47. Answer • 10-year-old Sarah stands on a skateboard. Her older brother Jack starts pushing her backward and she starts speeding up. The force of Jack on Sarah is • greater than the force of Sarah on Jack. • equal to than the force of Sarah on Jack. • less than the force of Sarah on Jack. Slide 4-38

  48. Summary Slide 4-40

  49. Applications of Newton’s Laws • Assumptions • Objects behave as particles • can ignore rotational motion (for now) • Masses of strings or ropes are negligible • Interested only in the forces acting on the object • can neglect reaction forces

  50. Solving Newton’s Second Law Problems • Read the problem at least once • Draw a picture of the system • Identify the object of primary interest • Indicate forces with arrows • Label each force • Use labels that bring to mind the physical quantity involved
