Chapter 4 Forces and Newton’s Laws of Motion • Motion and Newton’s first law • What is a force? • Identifying forces • Newton’s second law • Free-body diagrams • Newton’s third law Topics: Sample question: These ice boats sail across the ice at great speeds. What gets the boats moving in the first place? What keeps them from going even faster? Slide 4-1
Checking Understanding Which pair of forces is an action/reaction pair? • The string tension and the friction force acting on A. • The normal force on A due to B and the weight of A. • The normal force on A due to B and the weight of B. • The friction force acting on A and the friction force acting on B. Slide 5-32
Answer Which pair of forces is an action/reaction pair? D. The friction force acting on A and the friction force acting on B. Slide 5-33
Newton’s Zeroeth Law of Motion Objects are dumb - They have no memory of the past and cannot predict the future. Objects only know what acts directly on them in a given moment. Slide 2-34
Newton's First Law of Motion Every object continues in a state of rest or a state of motion with a constant speed in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced net force. Or v = constant (magnitude and direction) iff net force = 0 N.
What Causes Motion? In the absence of any forces acting on it, an object will continue moving forever. Motion needs no “cause.” Slide 4-8
What holds it up? Forces & Kitchen Magnets Use a free body diagram to determine the force that holds up a kitchen magnet. What is the magnitude of this force?
Fnet = 0 Problems Determine tension in each cable. (Hint: There is more than one way to define the system.)
Fnet = 0 Problems The object hung from the cable has a weight of 25 N. Write the equation for the sum of the forces in the y-direction. What is the tension in the cable?
T2 30 T1 Fnet = 0 Problems • The cable at left exerts a -30 N force. • a. Write the equation for the sum of the forces in the x-direction. What is the value of T2? • b. Write the equation for the sum of the forces in the y-direction. What is the force of gravity acting on the ball?
