Newton’s Laws The Study of Dynamics Isaac Newton Arguably the greatest physical genius ever. Came up with 3 Laws of Motion to explain the observations and analyses of Galileo and Johannes Kepler. Invented Calculus. Published his Laws in 1687 in the book Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy. (the Principia) What is Force? A force is a push or pull on an object. Forces cause an object to accelerate… To speed up To slow down To change direction Newton’s First Law The Law of Inertia. A body in motion stays in motion at constant velocity and a body at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an external force. (note:)This law is commonly applied to the horizontal component of velocity, which is assumed not to change during the flight of a projectile. The First Law is Counterintuitive Aristotle firmly believed this. But Kell Physics students know better! A force diagram illustrating no net force A force diagram illustrating no net force A force diagram illustrating no net force A force diagram illustrating no net force Another example illustrating no net force Newton’s Second Law A body accelerates when acted upon by a net external force. Net F = ma The acceleration is proportional to the net force and is in the direction which the net force acts. In projectiles, this law is commonly applied to the vertical component of velocity. Newton’s Second Law ∑Fvectors = ma where ∑F is the net force measured in Newtons (N) m is mass (kg) 2 a is acceleration (m/s ) Units of force Newton (SI system) 1 N = 1 kg m /s2 1 N is the force required to accelerate a 1 kg mass at a rate of 1 m/s2 Pound (British system) 1 lb = 1 slug ft /s2 Newton’s Third Law For every action there exists an equal and opposite reaction. If object A exerts a force F on B, then B exerts a force of -F back on A. This is rocket science. Flat surfaces – 1 D N mg N = mg for objects resting on horizontal surfaces. 2-Dimensional problem Larry pushes a 20 kg block on a frictionless floor at a 45o angle below the horizontal with a force of 150 N FL while Moe pulls the same block horizontally with a force of 120 N. a) What is the acceleration? b) What is the normal force?

Working a Newton’s 2nd Law Problem Step 4: Substitute Make a list of givens from the word problem. Substitute in what you know. Working a Newton’s 2nd Law Problem Step 5: Solve Plug-n-chug. Calculate your unknowns. Sometimes you’ll need to do kimematic calculations following the Newton’s 2nd law calculations. Gravity as an accelerating force A very commonly used accelerating force is gravity. Here is gravity in action. The acceleration is g. Gravity as an accelerating force In the absence of air resistance, gravity acts upon all objects by causing the same acceleration…g. Gravity as an accelerating force The pulley lets us use gravity as our accelerating force… but a lot slower than free fall. Acceleration here is a lot lower than g. The problem of weight Are weight and mass the same thing? No. Weight can be defined as the force due to gravitation attraction. W = mg Friction The force that opposes a sliding motion. Enables us to walk, drive a car, etc. Due to microscopic irregularities in even the smoothest of surfaces. There are two types of friction Static friction Kinetic friction exists before sliding occurs exists after sliding occurs In general fk <= fs Friction and the Normal Force The frictional force which exists between two surfaces is directly proportional to the normal force. That’s why friction on a sloping surface is less than friction on a flat surface. Static Friction fs sN fs : static frictional force (N) s: coefficient of static friction N: normal force (N) Static friction increases as the force trying to push an object increases… up to a point! A force diagram illustrating Static Friction Normal Force Frictional Force Applied Force Gravity A force diagram illustrating Static Friction Normal Force Bigger Frictional Force Bigger Applied Force Gravity A force diagram illustrating Static Friction The forces on the book are now UNBALANCED! Normal Force Frictional Force Gravity Static friction cannot get any larger, and can no longer completely oppose the applied force. Even Bigger Applied Force Kinetic Friction fk = kN fk : kinetic frictional force (N) k: coefficient of kinetic friction N: normal force (N) Kinetic friction (sliding friction) is generally less than static friction (motionless friction) for most surfaces.
