Ex. Stranded man on a raft
A man is stranded on a raft
(mass of man and raft =
1300kg)m as shown in the
figure. By paddling, he
causes an average force P of
17N to be applied to the raft
in a direction due east (the +x
direction). The wind also
exerts a force A on the raft.
This force has a magnitude of
15N and points 67o north of
east. Ignoring any resistance
from the water, find the x and
y components of the rafts
acceleration.

Newton’s Third Law (Law of Action and Reaction)
If two objects interact, the force F21 exerted on object 1 by object 2
is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force F12
exerted on object 2 by object 1.

The action force is equal in magnitude to the reaction force but in
opposite direction. These two forces always act on different objects.
What is the reaction force to the
force of a free falling object?
The gravitational force exerted
by the object to the Earth!
Stationary objects on top of a table has a reaction force (called the normal
force) from table to balance the action force, the gravitational force.

Ex. The Accelerations Produced by
Action and Reaction Forces
Which one do you think will
get larger acceleration?
Suppose that the magnitude of the force is 36 N. If the mass
of the spacecraft is 11,000 kg and the mass of the astronaut
is 92 kg, what are the accelerations?

Some Basic Information
When Newton’s laws are applied, external forces are only of interest!!
Why?
Because, as described in Newton’s first law, an object will keep its
current motion unless non-zero net external force is applied.
Normal Force, n:
Reaction force that reacts to action forces due to
the surface structure of an object. Its direction is
perpendicular to the surface.
Tension, T:
The reactionary force by a stringy object
against an external force exerted on it.

forces on an object and is extremely useful analyzing
forces and motion!! Drawn only on an object.

Free-body diagram: A diagram of vector forces acting on an object
A great tool to solve a problem using forces or using dynamics
Select a point on an object in the problem
Identify all the forces acting only on the selected object
Define a reference frame with positive and negative axes specified
Draw arrows to represent the force vectors on the selected point
Write down net force vector equation
Write down the forces in components to solve the problems
No matter which one we choose to draw the diagram on, the results should be the same,
as long as they are from the same motion

Categories of Forces
• Fundamental Forces: Truly unique forces that
cannot be derived from any other forces
– Total of three fundamental forces
• Gravitational Force
• Electro-Weak Force
• Strong Nuclear Force
• Non-fundamental forces: Forces that can be
derived from fundamental forces
– Friction
– Tension in a rope
– Normal or support forces

The Normal Force
The normal force is one component of the force that a surface
exerts on an object with which it is in contact – namely, the
component that is perpendicular to the surface.
