Zero Gravity Ride
One last reprisal of the
Free Body Diagram
Remember
1 Normal Force is ⊥ to the surface
2 Friction is parallel to the contact surface
3 Radial (aka, centripetal) acceleration requires a net force

Zero Gravity Ride
A rider in a horizontal “0 gravity ride” finds
herself stuck with her back to the wall.
Which diagram correctly shows the forces
acting on her?
Physics 207: Lecture 11, Pg 3
Banked Curves
In the previous car scenario, we drew the following free body
diagram for a race car going around a curve at constant
speed on a flat track.
Because the acceleration is radial (i.e., velocity changes in
direction only) we need to modify our view of friction.

Ff
mg
So, what differs on a banked curve?

( Note: For very small banking angles, one can approximate
that Ff is parallel to mar. This is equivalent to the small angle
approximation sin θ = tan θ, but very effective at pushing the
car toward the center of the curve!!)

At this moment you press the accelerator and, because
of the frictional force (forward) by the tires on the road
you begin to accelerate in that direction.
How does the radial acceleration change?

Navigating a hill
Knight concept exercise: A car is rolling over the top of a hill
at speed v. At this instant,
A. n > w.
B. n = w.
C. n < w.
D. We can’t tell about n without
knowing v.
At what speed does the car lose
contact?
This occurs when the normal force goes to zero or, equivalently, when
all the weight is used to achieve circular motion.
Fc = mg = m v2 /r v = (gr)½ (just like an object in orbit)
Note this approach can also be used to estimate the maximum walking
speed.

How fast can a biped walk?

(a) A heavier person of equal
height and proportions
can walk faster than a
lighter person
(b) A lighter person of equal
height and proportions
can walk faster than a
heavier person
(c) To first order, size doesn’t
matter

(a) A taller person of equal
weight and proportions

shorter person
(b) A shorter person of equal

How fast can a biped walk?
What can we say about the walker’s
acceleration if there is UCM (a
smooth walker) ?
Acceleration is radial !
So where does it, ar, come from?
(i.e., what external forces act on
the walker?)
1. Weight of walker, downwards
2. Friction with the ground, sideways

Impulse & Linear Momentum
Transition from forces to conservation laws
Newton’s Laws Conservation Laws
Conservation Laws Newton’s Laws
They are different faces of the same physics
NOTE: We have studied “impulse” and “momentum”
but we have not explicitly named them as such
Conservation of momentum is far more general than
conservation of mechanical energy
Physics 207: Lecture 11, Pg 17
Forces vs time (and space, Ch. 10)
Underlying any “new” concept in Chapter 9 is
(1) A net force changes velocity (either magnitude or
direction)
(2) For any action there is an equal and opposite
reaction
If we emphasize Newton’s 3rd Law and emphasize
changes with time then this leads to the
Conservation of Momentum Principle

A 2 kg block, initially at rest on frictionless horizontal surface, is
acted on by a 10 N horizontal force for 2 seconds (in 1D).
What is the final velocity?
F is to the positive & F = ma thus a = F/m = 5 m/s2
v = v0 + a ∆t = 0 m/s + 2 x 5 m/s = 10 m/s (+ direction)
Notice: v - v0 = a ∆t m (v - v0) = ma ∆t m ∆v = F ∆t
If the mass had been 4 kg …what is the final velocity?

Example 1
Notice that the final velocity in this case is inversely
proportional to the mass (i.e., if thrice the
mass….one-third the velocity).
Here, mass times the velocity always gives the same
value. (Always 20 kg m/s.)

Example
There many situations in which the sum of the product
“mass times velocity” is constant over time
To each product we assign the name, “momentum”
and associate it with a conservation law.
(Units: kg m/s or N s)
A force applied for a certain period of time can be
graphed and the area under the curve is the “impulse”

real world
Physics 207: Lecture 11, Pg 23
Example with Action-Reaction
Now the 10 N force from before is applied by person
A on person B while standing on a frictionless surface
For the force of A on B there is an equal and opposite

Physics 207 – Lecture 11
Example with Action-Reaction
MA ∆VA + MB ∆VB = 0
MA [VA(final) - VA(initial)] + MB [VB(final) - VB(initial)] = 0
Rearranging terms
MAVA(final) +MB VB(final) =
MAVA(initial) +MB VB(initial)
which is constant regardless of M or ∆V
(Remember: frictionless surface)
Physics 207: Lecture 11, Pg 25
Example with Action-Reaction
MAVA(final) +MB VB(final) = MAVA(initial) +MB VB(initial)
which is constant regardless of M or ∆V
Define MV to be the “momentum” and this
is conserved in a system if and only if the
system is not acted on by a net external
force (choosing the system is key)
Conservation of momentum is a special
case of applying Newton’s Laws

Impulse & Linear Momentum
Definition: For a single particle, the momentum p is defined as:
p
mv
v
(p
p is a vector since v is a vector)
So px = mvx and so on (y and z directions)

FEXT = 0
Momentum conservation (recasts Newton’s 2nd Law when
net external F = 0) is an important principle
It is a vector expression (Px, Py and Pz) .
And applies to any situation in which there is NO net
external force applied (in terms of the x, y & z axes).
Physics 207: Lecture 11, Pg 29
Momentum Conservation
Many problems can be addressed through
momentum conservation even if other physical
quantities (e.g. mechanical energy) are not
conserved
Momentum is a vector quantity and we can
independently assess its conservation in the x, y and
z directions
(e.g., net forces in the z direction do not affect the
momentum of the x & y directions)
