A force is a push or a pull. A force acts on an object. Pushes and pulls are applied to something. From the object’s perspective, it has a force exerted on it. Contact forces are forces that act on an object by touching it at a point of contact. Long-range forces are forces that act on an object without physical contact. (gravity, electricity,etc) Slide 5-18 Forces are Interactions FFEarth on Rock Rock on Earth Thinking About Force . Every force has an agent which causes the force. Forces exist at the point of contact between the agent and the object (except for the few special cases of long-range forces). Forces exist due to interactions happening now, not due to what happened in the past. Consider a flying arrow. A pushing force was required to accelerate the arrow as it was shot. However, no force is needed to keep the arrow moving forward as it flies. It continues to move because of inertia. Slide 5-75 Galileo Challenged The Dogma Of Aristotle’s Natural Motion (Forces are needed for any motion) The natural motion of a body is to remain in whatever state of motion it is in unless acted upon by net external forces. Newton’s First Law (Law of Inertia) An object will remain at rest or in a constant state of motion unless acted upon by external net forces. Net Force Direction of applied forces matters!!! Opposite forces cancel! Inertia The resistance of an object to change its state of motion. A measure of mass or how much stuff an object has. QuickCheck 5.10 A hollow tube lies flat on a table. A ball is shot through the tube. As the ball emerges from the other end, which path does it follow? Slide 5-76 QuickCheck 5.10 A hollow tube lies flat on a table. C A ball is shot through the tube. As the ball emerges from the other end, which path does it follow? Slide 5-77 Mass & Weight F ma W mg g 9.8 m / s2 (g is a scalar!) Calculate your weight in N. 1 lb = 4.45 N Calculate your mass in Kg. Moon Mass The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon is only 1/6 as it is on the Earth. What is the weight of a 10-kg object on the moon and on the Earth? What is its mass on each? Mass is the same everywhere in the universe! 10 kg! 2 WEE mg 10 kg 9.8 m / s 98 N 11 WM mg m g 98 N 16.3 N EME66 Perception of Weight The perception of weight comes from the support force acting back on you. If you are in free fall you feel weightless. Galileo Challenged Aristotle Physics In a vacuum, all objects fall with the same acceleration due to gravity: 9.80 m/s2, independent of their weight. The Weight to Mass Ratio of ALL objects always equals g! The force of gravity – the weight of an object – is greater for a larger mass, but the larger mass has greater INERTIA and resists a change in motion more so that the ratio of weight to mass is a universal constant. Finding little g Calculate the acceleration of gravity acting on you at the surface of the Earth. What is g?

Rock & Feather A rock and feather fall with the same acceleration due to gravity in a vacuum. Is the force of gravity acting on them the same? Newton’s First Law (Law of Inertia) IF an object remains at rest or in a constant state of motion the net external forces are zero! EQUILIBRIUM!! Newton’s First Law If F 0 => No Change in Motion Dynamic Equilibrium Static Equilibrium Static Equilibrium Forces up equal the forces down. Forces sideways cancel too. Fy 0 Fx 0 Newton’s 2nd Law F ma F a net m The acceleration of object is directly related to the net forces acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. Newton’s 2nd Law UnitsF ma m kg N s2 Acceleration is in the direction of the net Force but not necessarily in the direction of velocity.

Since x and y directions are independent, Newton’s Second Law can be expressed as independent x and y equations. Force Vector Diagrams Align axes to simplify the problem! Show all the External forces acting ON the body only. Force Vector Diagrams Draw free-body diagrams for every object! Solving Force Problems 1. State the knowns and desired unknowns. 2. Draw a force vector diagram, label everything and define direction. 3. Solve for the components of each force. 4. Use Fnet = ma on each direction to generate equations. 5. Derive a solution in terms of the given knowns. 6. Enter the numbers and solve for the desired unknown. Problem Starting from rest, Sally pulls Billy on the sled (total mass = 60kg) with a total force of 100 N at an angle of 40 degrees above the horizontal, as shown. After 5 seconds, how fast is the sled moving and how far has it traveled from where it started?

Newton’s 3rd Law Newton’s 3rd Law In order to get an object moving, you must push harder on it than it pushes back on you. A) True B) False Question You push a heavy car by hand. The car, in turn, pushes back with an opposite but equal force on you. Doesn’t this mean the forces cancel one another, making acceleration impossible? How is it that the car moves? The System Action-Reaction forces act on different objects.
