Re-introduction to

Newton’s 3 Laws

Announcements

• Calendar has been updated for our new unit.

• Exam repair will occur by Thursday, end of day. Repair is to be done independently. Before school is the best time; but I will allow you to correct during the 2nd half of both lunch periods and after school.

What is Force?

• A force is a push or pull on an object.

• Unbalanced forces cause an object to accelerate…– To speed up– To slow down– To change direction

• Force is a vector!

Types of Forces

• Contact forces involve contact between bodies. – Normal, Friction

• Field forces act without necessity of contact.– Gravity, Electromagnetic, Strong, Weak

• Question: Is there really any such thing as a contact force?

Forces and Equilibrium

• If the net force (F) on a body is zero, it is in equilibrium.

• An object in equilibrium may be moving relative to us (dynamic equilibrium).

• An object in equilibrium may appear to be at rest (static equilibrium).

Newton’s First Law

• Newton’s 1st Law is also called the Law of Inertia.

• A body in motion stays in motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.

• This law is commonly applied to the horizontal component of velocity, which is assumed not to change during the flight of a projectile.

Newton’s Second Law

• Newton’s 2nd Law says that a body acted upon by a net external force will accelerate.

• The acceleration is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass. It is in the direction of the net force.

• F = ma

Newton’s Third Law

• Newton’s 3rd Law is commonly stated “for every action there exists an equal and opposite reaction”.

• If A exerts a force F on B, then B exerts a force of -F on A.

Commonly Confused Terms

• Inertia: or the resistance of an object to being accelerated

• Mass: the same thing as inertia (to a physicist).• Weight: gravitational attraction

inertia = mass weight

Sample Problem: Three forces act upon a 3.0 kg body moving at constant velocity. F1 = (4i – 6j + k) N and F2 = (i – 2j - 8k) N. Find F3.

• Sample Problem: Two forces, F1 = (4i – 6j + k) N and F2 = (i – 2j - 8k) N, act upon a body of mass 3.0 kg. No other forces act upon the body at this time. What do you know must be true?

• Sample problem: A tug-of-war team ties a rope to a tree and pulls hard horizontally to create a tension of 30,000 N in the rope. Suppose the team pulls equally hard when, instead of a tree, the other end of the rope is being pulled by another tug-of-war team such that no movement occurs. What is the tension in the rope in the second case?

A systematic approach for 1st or 2nd Law Problems

1. Identify the system to be analyzed. This may be only a part of a more complicated system. This is really the most important step.

2. Select a reference frame or coordinate system, stationary or moving, but not accelerating, within which to analyze your system.

3. Identify all forces acting on the system. Ignore the others. This is best done by drawing!

4. Set up ΣF = ma equations for each dimension. Solve for relevant unknowns.

5. Use kinematics or calculus where necessary to calculate more about the motion.

• Sample Problem: A 5.00-g bullet leaves the muzzle of a rifle with a speed of 320 m/s. The bullet is accelerated by expanding gases while it travels down the 0.820 m long barrel. Assuming constant acceleration and negligible friction, what is the force on the bullet?

• Sample Problem: A 3.00 kg mass undergoes an acceleration given by a = (2.50i + 4.10j) m/s2. Find the resultant force F and its magnitude.

Non-uniform Circular Motion

• If the speed changes, there is a tangential as well as a centripetal component to the force.

• In some cases, the magnitude of the centripetal force changes as the circular motion occurs.

Non-Constant Forces(Forces that are functions of time)


Announcements

• Turn in Ch 6, problems #9,11,13, if you didn’t turn them in Friday.

• Turn in lab book, if you didn’t already (technically it’s due today).

• Friday’s homework was Ch 6: #14,15,21

• Tonight’s homework is page 10-11 in your classwork packet.

Non-constant Forces

• Up until this time, we have mainly dealt with forces that are constant. These produce a uniform, constant acceleration. Kinematic equations can be used with these forces.

• However, not all forces are constant.• Forces can vary with time.• Forces can vary with velocity.• Forces can vary with position.

Calculus Concepts forForces That Vary With Time

• The Derivative• The derivative yields tangent lines and slopes.• Use the derivative to go from position -> velocity ->

acceleration

• The Integral• The integral yields the area under a curve.• Use the integral to go from acceleration -> velocity ->

position

• In these two approaches, F = ma, so methods for determining or using acceleration are extendable to force.

Tutorial on the Integral• Mathematically, the integral is used to calculate a sum

composed of many, many tiny parts.• In physics, the integral is used to find a measurable change

resulting from very small incremental changes. It’s useful to think of it as a fancy addition process or a multiplication process, depending on the situation.

• Here’s a specific example. Velocity times time gives displacement. If the velocity is changing with time, but a very tiny time change is used to calculate a very tiny displacement, we can nonetheless assume the velocity was constant during that tiny time change.

• If we calculate tiny displacements this way (recalculating our velocity for each time increment), then add the tiny displacements up to get a larger displacement, we have done “integration”.

Velocity as a Function of Time Displacement

• Velocity can be represented as follows:

• Rearrangement of this expression yields:

• What this means is that we can calculate a tiny displacement dx from the velocity v at a given time times a tiny time increment dt.

dxv

dt

dx vdt

Summing the Displacements

• When we sum up these tiny displacements, we use the following notation:

• This notation indicates that we are summing up all the little displacements dx starting at position xo at time to until we reach a final position and time, xf and tf. The velocity v may be a function of time, and may be slightly different for one time increment dt and the next time increment.

f f

o o

x t

x tdx vdt

Evaluating Integrals• We will evaluate polynomial integrals by reversing

the process we used in taking a polynomial derivative. This process is sometimes called “anti-differentiation”, or “doing an anti-derivative”.

• The general method for doing an anti-derivative is:

• Can you see how this is the reverse of taking a derivative? (Note: This “indefinite integral” requires us to add a constant C to compensate for constants that may have been lost during differentiation…but we will do “definite integrals” that do not require C.)

if then 1

nndx At

At x Cdt n

Evaluating Definite Integrals

• When a “definite integral” with “limits of integration” is to be evaluated, first do the “anti-derivative”. Then evaluate the resulting functions using the top limits, evaluate them again using the bottom limits, then subtract the two values to get the answer. (Note: do each side of the equation separately.)

• Sample problem: Consider a force that is a function of time:

F(t) = (3.0 t – 0.5 t2)N• If this force acts upon a 0.2 kg particle at rest for 3.0 seconds, what is the

resulting velocity and position of the particle?

• Sample problem: Consider a force that is a function of time:

F(t) = (16 t2 – 8 t + 4)N• If this force acts upon a 4 kg particle at rest for 1.0 seconds, what is the

Review: Graphical Integration

• When we are given a graph, we can perform graphical integration.

• This is equivalent of “multiplying the axes” or “determining the area under the curve”.

• Let’s take a look at an example.

Drag Forces

• Drag forces are functions of velocity, rather than functions of time. They– slow an object down as it passes through a

fluid.– act in opposite direction to velocity.– vary with velocity or velocity squared.– depend upon the fluid and the projectile

characteristics.– will impose a terminal velocity if a falling

object reaches a high enough speed.

Drag as a Function of Velocity

• In general, a drag force acts like a velocity-dependent kinetic friction. The general expression is– fD = bv + cv2

• b and c depend upon– shape and size of object– properties of fluid

• b is more important at low velocity• c is more important at high velocity
