PHYSICS 149: Lecture 5 • Chapter 2 – 2.5 Newton’s Third Law – 2.6 Gravitational Forces – 2.7 Contact Forces: Normal Force and Friction Lecture 5 Purdue University, Physics 149 1 Newton’s Third Law • All forces come in pairs • Third law forces involve TWO OBJECTS . • The two forces are: – thfthe force o bjtbject one exer ts on o bjttbject two – the force object two exerts on object one • Three ways to s tat e th e 3 rd l aw: – Forces on each other are equal and opposite – For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction – You can’t push on something without it pushing back on you Lecture 5 Purdue University, Physics 149 2 Newton’s Third Law of Motion • In an interaction between two objects, each object exerts a force on the other. These two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. – To every action, there is always opposed an equal reaction. – Forces always come in equal but opposite action- reaction pair. • Note that these two forces act on different objects; they do not cancel in any way. • Don’ t forget that forces always exist in pairs. Lecture 5 Purdue University, Physics 149 3 Free Body Diagram (FBD) • A simplified sketch of a single object with force vectors drawn to represent every force acting “on” that object. (It must not include any forces that act on other objj)ects.) • FBD is useful to find the net force acting on an object. Lecture 5 Purdue University, Physics 149 4 Internal and External Forces • Internal Forces: Forces which act on one part of an object by another part of the same object • External Forces: Forces which act on an object by some other object. • Net force on a system = vector sum of internal forces + vector sum of external forces • BtBut, vec tor sum of fit internal lf forces i s zero b ecause, from Newton’s third law, internal forces will occur in equal and opposite pairs and so they contribute nothing to the sum. They never in fluence t he system ’s mot ion. • Eventually, net force on a system = vector sum of external forces onlyyy. We need to consider external forces only in order to describe the motion of the system. Lecture 5 Purdue University, Physics 149 5 Examples • Net force on a baseball = External forces: interaction with the Earth (gravity) what we + interaction with a bat need to + in terac tion w ith the a iir consider + interactions among protons, Internal Forces: their vector sum neutrons, andld electrons iiin it is zero • I am hit by myself (internal forces) and other person (external forces). I am pushed due to external forces only. Internal forces do not make any contribution. Lecture 5 Purdue University, Physics 149 6 Pushing a Stalled Car Two people are pushing a stalled car.
