  • Forces and Motion
    Forces and Motion Forces and motion are very important. You may not know but forces are used in everyday life for example: walking, pushing and pulling. Forces cause things to move. Motion is simply a movement but it needs a force to move. There are two types of forces contact force and non-contact force. Contact force is simply two interacting objects touching for example: throwing a ball. Non-contact force is when two objects are not touching are not touching like the moon and the earth ocean Force Firstly, force is just a technical word push or pull. If you push or pull on an object you are applying a force. Secondly, forces make things move or change their motion. There are so many types of forces here are just a few, gravity and magnetism. Different Forces There are two types of forces. Firstly, there is contact force. This is when two interacting objects are physically touching, for example: throwing a ball, when you throw a ball you use friction to push the pall out of your hands. Secondly, the next force is at a distance force. It is when two interacting objects not touching each other like for example: magnets and a paper clip and the moons gravity and the earth ocean. This occurring because of the gravity and magnetism Contact force Contact force is when you are needing to physically touch another object to allow it to move. There are 4 types of contact forces. Firstly normal force is when nothing is occurring, for example: a book on a table.

  • Forces Different Types of Forces
    Forces and motion are a part of your everyday life for example pushing a trolley, a horse pulling a rope, speed and acceleration. Force and motion causes objects to move but also to stay still. Motion is simply a movement but needs a force to move. There are 2 types of forces, contact forces and act at a distance force. Forces Every day you are using forces. Force is basically push and pull. When you push and pull you are applying a force to an object. If you are Appling force to an object you are changing the objects motion. For an example when a ball is coming your way and then you push it away. The motion of the ball is changed because you applied a force. Different Types of Forces There are more forces than push or pull. Scientists group all these forces into two groups. The first group is contact forces, contact forces are forces when 2 objects are physically interacting with each other by touching. The second group is act at a distance force, act at a distance force is when 2 objects that are interacting with each other but not physically touching. Contact Forces There are different types of contact forces like normal Force, spring force, applied force and tension force. Normal force is when nothing is happening like a book lying on a table because gravity is pulling it down. Another contact force is spring force, spring force is created by a compressed or stretched spring that could push or pull. Applied force is when someone is applying a force to an object, for example a horse pulling a rope or a boy throwing a snow ball.

  • Electrostatics
    Electrostatics Electrostatics - the study of electrical charges that can be collected and held in one place - charges at rest. Examples: BASIC IDEAS: Electricity begins inside the atom itself. An atom is electrically neutral; it has the same number of protons (+) as it does electrons (-). Objects are charged by adding or removing electrons (charged atom = ion) Fewer electrons than protons = (+) charge occurs More electrons than protons = (-) charge occurs There are two types of charges: positive (+) and negative (-). Like charges repel one another: (+) repels (+), (-) repels (-). Opposite charges attract one another: (+) attracts (-), (-) attracts (+). Charge is quantized Charge is conserved Quantization of Charge The smallest possible amount of charge is that on an electron or proton. This amount is called the fundamental or elementary charge. -19 An electron has charge: qo = -1.602 x 10 C -19 A proton has charge: qo = 1.602 x 10 C Any amount of charge greater than the elementary charge is an exact integer multiple of the elementary charge. q = nqo , where n is an integer For this reason, charge is said to be “quantized”. It comes in quantities of 1.602 x 10-19 C Law of Conservation of Electric Charge The net amount of electric charge produced in any process is zero. Net amount of charge in an isolated system stays constant. Insulators vs. Conductors NOTE: Both insulators and conductors possess charge. Conductor (Metallic Bonds - free valence e’s in outer shell) substance that allows electrons to move easily throughout (sea of electrons) ex. Silver, copper, Al, humid air Insulator (Covalent Bonds - no free e’s in outer shell) substance that does not allow electrons to move freely; electron movement is restricted ex.

  • Chapter 6 Space, Time, and the Agent of Interactions Overview
    Chapter 6 Space, Time, and the Agent of Interactions: Overview 35 Chapter 6 Space, Time, and the Agent of Interactions Overview This chapter is somewhat different from the other chapters in this text, in that much of the material serves as reference for the following two chapters. We introduce two new models: The Galilean Space-Time Model, which is the basis for developing a useful way of representing variables that are based on spatial dimensions and time. The second is a model of how “things” interact in our physical universe. Forces are the agents of interactions in this model. It is easy to forget that the common and familiar way we talk about distances, speeds, forces and many other variables using these models are not “the way things really are.” They are only this way in the limited range of applicability of these models, which, fortunately, is sufficiently large to include almost all “everyday” phenomena we experience. But whenever we begin to look too closely at the atomic scale, or at systems in which objects travel near the speed of light, or where there are much larger concentrations of matter than we typically experience in our solar system, our familiar notions of space and time and how forces work have to be replaced. 36 Chapter 6 Space, Time, and the Agent of Interactions: Galilean Model The Galilean Space-Time Model (Summary on foldout #4 at back of text) We live in a world of three spatial dimensions and one time dimension. In our ordinary experience we find that these four dimensions are all independent of each other.

  • The Painlevé Paradox in Contact Mechanics Arxiv:1601.03545V1
    The Painlev´eparadox in contact mechanics Alan R. Champneys, P´eterL. V´arkonyi final version 11th Jan 2015 Abstract The 120-year old so-called Painlev´eparadox involves the loss of determinism in models of planar rigid bodies in point contact with a rigid surface, subject to Coulomb-like dry friction. The phenomenon occurs due to coupling between normal and rotational degrees-of-freedom such that the effective normal force becomes attractive rather than repulsive. Despite a rich literature, the forward evolution problem remains unsolved other than in certain restricted cases in 2D with single contact points. Various practical consequences of the theory are revisited, including models for robotic manipulators, and the strange behaviour of chalk when pushed rather than dragged across a blackboard. Reviewing recent theory, a general formulation is proposed, including a Poisson or en- ergetic impact law. The general problem in 2D with a single point of contact is discussed and cases or inconsistency or indeterminacy enumerated. Strategies to resolve the paradox via contact regularisation are discussed from a dynamical systems point of view. By passing to the infinite stiffness limit and allowing impact without collision, inconsistent and inde- terminate cases are shown to be resolvable for all open sets of conditions. However, two unavoidable ambiguities that can be reached in finite time are discussed in detail, so called dynamic jam and reverse chatter. A partial review is given of 2D cases with two points of contact showing how a greater complexity of inconsistency and indeterminacy can arise. Ex- tension to fully three-dimensional analysis is briefly considered and shown to lead to further possible singularities.

  • 5-1 Kinetic Friction
    5-1 Kinetic Friction When two objects are in contact, the friction force, if there is one, is the component of the contact force between the objects that is parallel to the surfaces in contact. (The component of the contact force that is perpendicular to the surfaces is the normal force.) Friction tends to oppose relative motion between objects. When there is relative motion, the friction force is the kinetic force of friction. An example is a book sliding across a table, where kinetic friction slows, and then stops, the book. If there is relative motion between objects in contact, the force of friction is the kinetic force of friction (FK). We will use a simple model of friction that assumes the force of kinetic friction is proportional to the normal force. A dimensionless parameter, called the coefficient of kinetic friction, μK, represents the strength of that frictional interaction. F µ = K = µ K so FFKKN . (Equation 5.1: Kinetic friction) FN Some typical values for the coefficient of kinetic friction, as well as for the coefficient of static friction, which we will define in Section 5-2, are given in Table 5.1. The coefficients of friction depend on the materials that the two surfaces are made of, as well as on the details of their interaction. For instance, adding a lubricant between the surfaces tends to reduce the coefficient of friction. There is also some dependence of the coefficients of friction on the temperature. µ µ Interacting materials Coefficient of kinetic friction ( K ) Coefficient of static friction ( S ) Rubber on dry pavement 0.7 0.9 Steel on steel (unlubricated) 0.6 0.7 Rubber on wet pavement 0.5 0.7 Wood on wood 0.3 0.4 Waxed ski on snow 0.05 0.1 Friction in human joints 0.01 0.01 Table 5.1: Approximate coefficients of kinetic friction, and static friction (see Section 5-2), for various interacting materials.

Description In this lesson, students will learn about contact and non-contact forces by building a toy car and moving it with different forces. Materials All of these materials are suggestions of what you could use, you do not need everything on this list. You will need 4 wheels, a body, axles, and a motor. Use what you have and be creative! Toy Car ● Tools ● Body ● Motors ○ Tape ○ craft stick ○ Sheet of paper ○ Scissors ○ foam tray ○ Skewer ○ Pencil ○ cardboard ○ Magnets (stronger the ● 4 Wheels ● Axles better) ○ cardboard ○ Straw ○ Balloon ○ Pop ○ Skewers ○ Plastic straw bottle lids ○ toothpicks (round) Science Background A force is a push or pull caused by objects interacting. Forces are acting on objects all the time. Right now, the force of gravity is pulling you down yet you have not fallen through the floor. What you are sitting on is pushing you up, this is called a normal force. These forces are balanced, so you do not feel or think about them all that much. We notice forces more when they are not balanced which results in objects moving by changing speed or direction. Think of a ball that is sitting in a field. Like us, gravity is pulling it down and the ground is pushing it up. If the ball was kicked, the forces are unbalanced and it goes flying! A kick is a big pushing force that only lasts as long as the contact between the ball and the foot.

  • 3-6 Exploring Forces and Free-Body Diagrams a Force Is Simply a Push Or a Pull
    Answer to Essential Question 3.5: Even though the Sun is enormous compared to the Earth, Newton’s third law tells us that the force the Sun exerts on the Earth is equal in magnitude, and opposite in direction, to the force the Earth exerts on the Sun. 3-6 Exploring Forces and Free-Body Diagrams A force is simply a push or a pull. A force is a vector, so it has a direction. Also, a force represents an interaction between objects. Let’s build on these facts and learn more about forces. EXPLORATION 3.6A – The normal force Step 1 - Sketch free-body diagrams for the following situations: (a) a book rests on a table; (b) you exert a downward force on the book as it sits on the table; (c) you tie a helium-filled balloon to the book, which remains on the table. The diagrams are shown in Figure 3.13. In (a), the normal force applied by the table on the book has to balance the force of gravity acting on the book. If you push down on the book, the normal force increases – it has to balance the force of gravity as well as the force you exert. Tying a helium balloon to the book reduces the normal force because the normal force and the tension in the string combine to balance the force of gravity. The normal force depends on the situation – the magnitude of the normal force is whatever is Figure 3.13: The upward normal force necessary to prevent the book from falling through the table.
