CHAPTER 4
Forces and Newton's Laws
of Motion
4.6 Types of Forces:
In nature there are two general types of forces, fundamental and
non-fundamental.
Fundamental forces:
•Gravitational force
•Strong nuclear force
•Weak nuclear force-----|
•Electromagnetic force--!—Electroweak force
Non-fundamental forces:
Pushing, Pulling, Kicking, Grabbing, etc….
These are related to the electromagnetic force.
They arise from the interactions between the
electrically charged particles that comprise
atoms and molecules.

Newton’s Law of Universal
Gravitation
Every body in the universe attracts every other body with
a force that is directly proportional to the product of the
masses of the bodies and inversely proportional to the
square of the distance between the bodies.
Newton’s Law of Universal

r
The proportionality constant, G is called the universal
gravitational constant. Its value in the SI system of units is,
G = 6.67  10-11N.m2/Kg2.

G = 6.67  10-11N.m2/Kg2.
The law of gravitation is universal and very fundamental. It
can be used to understand the motions of planets and moons,
determine the surface gravity of planets, and the orbital
motion of artificial satellites around the Earth.

Calculate g for planet Earth at sea level.
Weight
Weight = Mass x Gravity
W  m g
The weight of an object is the gravitational force that the
planet exerts on the object. The weight always acts
downward, toward the center of the planet.
SI Unit of Weight: : newton (N)
The Hubble Space
Telescope
Example 6
The mass of the Hubble Space Telescope is 11 600 kg.
Determine the weight of the telescope (a) when it was resting
on the earth and (b) as it is in its orbit 598 km above the
earth's surface.
4.8 The Normal Force
The normal force FN 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.
Normal Force Is Not Always
