Additionally, we may use v2(t) = v2(t=0) + 2 a(t=0) [x(t) - x(t=0)] In the equation below, the following is NOT true… v2(t) = v2(t=0) + 2 a(t=0) [x(t) -x(t=0)] • We need to know the position of the object in the moment at which we want to calculate its velocity • We need to know the initial velocity of the object to calculate its velocity at time t • This equation is only true if the acceleration of the object is constant. • The equation is only true for positive velocities, since we have to take the square root eventually. v(t) Example for derivation v(t2) v(t1) ∆v ∆t t1 t2 • Constant acceleration means linear rising (or falling) velocity velocity at later time is velocity at earlier time plus slope times time elapsed. • Slope of velocity curve is acceleration v(t2) = v(t1) + a (t2-t1) t A car accelerates at constant (nonzero) rate.

What is its frequency? • • • • 10 Hz 1 Hz 1/10 Hz 3.14 Hz Newton’s first Law • In the absence of a net external force, a body either is at rest or moves with constant velocity. – Motion at constant velocity (may be zero) is thus the natural state of objects, not being at rest. Change of velocity needs to be explained; why a body is moving steadily does not. Mass & Weight • Mass is the property of an object • Weight is a force, e.g. the force an object of certain mass may exert on a scale Mass: On the surface of the Moon a standard block of lead … • … has a different mass • … has a different weight • Its weight is unchanged, but g has a different value • Need more information Newton’s first law states that objects remain at rest only when they no net force acts on them. A book on a table is subject to the force of gravity pulling it down. Why doesn’t it move? • • • • Newton’s first law does not apply (obstacle!) There must be another force opposing gravity Table shelters book from force of gravity Not enough information Newton’s second Law • The net external force on a body is equal to the mass of that body times its acceleration F = ma. • Or: the mass of that body times its acceleration is equal to the net force exerted on it ma = F • Or: a=F/m • Or: m=F/a Newton II: calculate Force from motion • The typical situation is the one where a pattern of Nature, say the motion of a projectile or a planet is observed: – x(t), or v(t), or a(t) of object are known, likely only x(t) • From this we deduce the force that has to act on the object to reproduce the motion observed Calculate Force from motion: example • We observe a ball of mass m=1/4kg falls to the ground, and the position changes proportional to time squared. • Careful measurement yields: xball(t)=[4.9m/s2] t2 • We conclude v=dx/dt=2[4.9m/s2]t a=dv/dt=2[4.9m/s2]=9.8m/s2 • Hence the force exerted on the ball must be • F = 9.8/4 kg m/s2 = 2.45 N – Note that the force does not change, since the acceleration does not change: a constant force acts on the ball and accelerates it steadily. Newton II: calculate motion from force • If we know which force is acting on an object of known mass we can calculate (predict) its motion • Qualitatively: – objects subject to a constant force will speed up (slow down) in that direction – Objects subject to a force perpendicular to their motion (velocity!) will not speed up, but change the direction of their motion [circular motion] • Quantitatively: do the (vector) algebra! Newton II: calculate motion from force • Say a downward force of 4.9N acts on a block of 1 kg (we call the coordinate y and start at y=0) • We conclude that the block will be accelerated: ay = F/m= -4.9N / 1kg = -4.9 m/s2 • We use this constant acceleration to calculate y = -1.225m/s2 t2 + b t + c , where b &c are constants, c=0 Q: What physical situation is this? Newton II: calculate mass from force and acceleration • Pretty simple, if you know force and acceleration we have m=F/a
