Ch.4 Forces And Newton’s Laws
Non Contact - Action at a distant force
Is the Force a Vector or a Scalar ? Units and Dimensions ? Mass – Measure of Mass is inertia
(How does it differ from Weight ?)
Higher mass – harder to change the motion, i.e. higher inertia What is a Force? A Push or a Pull
Newton’s First Law Of Motion
•
An object
continues in a state of rest or in a
state of motion
at a constant speed along a
straight line unless compelled to change that
state by
a net force.
•
What is the
net force?
If so, why will a ball rolling on a flat surface
stop?
•
Vector sum of all
the forces acting on
the object is called
the net force.
( i.e. both magnitude
and direction needs
to be considered
)Inertial Reference Frame
Newton’s laws are valid in an inertial frame,
i.e. the acceleration of the frame should be
zero (
Constant Velocity
).
Newton’s Second Law
• First law: no net force no change in velocity
• Second law: What happens if there is an external
force? (net)
Acceleration of the object Net Force
Acceleration inversely proportional to mass
m
Only two factors determine the
acceleration---
Force and Mass
Force Units Newton (N) = kg. m/s

F
Newton’s Second Law Of Motion
When a net external force acts on an object of mass m, the acceleration a results is directly
proportional to the net force and has a magnitude that is inversely proportional to the mass. The direction of the acceleration is the same as the direction of the net force.

Example 1. Pushing A Car
Frictional force = 560 N
Push = 275 N+ 395 N = 670 N
Net force = 670 N – 560 N, N= 110 N F = ma , 110 N = 1850 kg*a
a = 110 N/1850 kg = 0.059 m/s2

Two forces are applied onto an object. 1.) 12N towards North, and 2.) 5N towards East, what is the direction of the motion of the object?

acceleration to be doubled ?
a) All of the forces acting on the object
doubles
b) The net force acting on the object
doubles
c) Both the net force and the mass doubles
d) The mass of the object is reduced by a
factor of two.
Newton’s Third Law of Motion
•
Whenever one body exerts a force on a
second body, the second body will exert
an oppositely directed force of equal
magnitude on the body.
•
(Action reaction law)
MS = 11000 kg mA = 92 kg
Force by Astronaut on Space Ship = P Force on Astronaut by Space ship = P
What will be the acceleration of the two objects ?
If P = 36 N, -36 N = 92 aA , i.e. aA = -0.39 m/s2
36 N = 11000 kg as , i.e. as = 0.0033 m/s2

The Normal Force & Newton’s 3
rdLaw
Net Force on the block: FN – W
Table exert a force on the block: FN
Normal Force: The force component that a surface exerts on the object (Normal to the contact surface)
How can the table exert a force ?
What happens if I push or pull on the
block ?
Apparent Weight
• How do you feel when the elevator suddenly starts going up?
FN – W = ma
FN = Apparent weight
W = True weight Feel heavy?
Elevator Accelerating Up With “a”
Applying 2nd law vertically
upward
FN – W = ma FN = W+ma
Apparent weight is larger than the true weight (W = mg)
Elevator Accelerating Down With “a”
FN – mg = ma
( if downward a = negative)
FN = mg +ma
What if a = -g ?
Static And Kinetic Friction
Two surfaces touching each other
Contact surface is not smooth
In addition to the normal force, there is a force
parallel to the surface
Static Friction (f
s)
• As F increases, fs
increases from zero up to fs Max
• Just before motion
fsMax = μs FN
Units and Dimensions of μs? (μs= Coefficient of static friction)

Force Needed To Start The Sled
The maximum force needed to just begin to move = need to
overcome the max frictional force i.e. F = fsMax = μ
s FN = μs mg
If μs = 0.35, m = 38 kg fsMax = 0.35
* 38 * 9.8 = 130 N
What happens once it just starts moving ? Easier to move, i.e. needs force going down
i.e. f changes to f

Conceptual Questions 1.
Why do you lunge forward when a car suddenly stops ? Pressed backward when the car suddenly accelerates ?
REASONING AND SOLUTION When the car comes to a sudden halt, the upper part of the body continues forward (as predicted by Newton's first law) if the force exerted by the lower back
Conceptual Question 6.
Father and daughter on ice pushing each other, who has the
higher acceleration ?
REASONING AND SOLUTION
Since the father and the daughter are standing on ice skates, there is virtually no friction between their bodies and the ground. We can assume, therefore, that the only horizontal force that acts on the daughter is due to the father, and
similarly, the only horizontal force that acts on the father is due to the daughter. a.) According to Newton's third law, when they push off against each other, the force exerted on the father by the daughter must be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force exerted on the daughter by the father. In other words, both the father and the daughter experience pushing forces of equal magnitude.
b.) According to Newton's second law, Therefore, . The magnitude of the net force on the father is the same as the magnitude of the net force on the daughter, so we can conclude that, since the daughter has the smaller mass, she will acquire the larger acceleration.
