Goals for this chapter
To understand the meaning of force in physics
To view force as a vector and learn how to combine forces
To understand the behavior of a body on which the forces “balance”
Newton’s THREE Laws of Motion
(Aside – what is a physical LAW?)

5-1 Newton's Laws
We will focus on Newton's three laws of motion… buto Newtonian mechanics is valid for “everyday” situations
o It is not valid for speeds which are an appreciable fraction of the speed of lighto Viewed as an approximation of general relativity
o It is not valid for objects on the scale of atomic structureo Viewed as an approximation of quantum mechanics
o And not valid for objects in accelerating frames of reference!

5-1 Newton's First and Second Laws
Before Newtonian mechanics:o Some influence (force) was thought necessary to keep a
body movingo The “natural state” of objects was at rest
This seems intuitively reasonable (due to friction)
But envision a frictionless surfaceo Does not slow an objecto The object would keep moving forever at a constant speedo Friction is a force!

Forces
• A force is a push or a pull• A force is an interaction between two objects, or between an
object and its environment• A force is a VECTOR quantity, with magnitude and direction.• A net force causes an acceleration!

Forces
Characteristics of forces:o Unit: N, the newton; 1 N = 1 kg m/s2
o Forces are vectors
Net force is the vector sum of all forces on an object
Principle of superposition for forces:o A net force has the same impact as a single force with
identical magnitude and direction

5-1 Newton's First and Second Laws
Superposition Examples
Answer: (c), (d), (e)
There are four common types of forces
#1: The normal force:
When an object pushes on a surface, the surface pushes back on the object perpendicular to the surface.
This is a contact force.
There are four common types of forces
#2: Friction force: This force occurs when a surface resists sliding of an object and is parallel to the surface.
Friction is a contact force.
There are four common types of forces II
#3: Tension force:
A pulling force exerted on an object by a rope or cord.
This is a contact force.
There are four common types of forces II
#4: Weight:
The pull of gravity on an object.
This is a long-range force, not a contact force, and is also a “field” force.
What are the magnitudes of common forces?

Forces!
A force:o Is a “push or pull” acting on an objecto A net force causes accelerationo Newton’s First Law of Motion:
If there is no NET force on an object it will remain in the same state of motion
Newton’s First Law
“An object at rest tends to stay at rest, an object in motion
tends to stay in uniform motion.”
Newton’s First Law
Mathematically,
“A body acted on by zero net force moves with constant velocity
and zero acceleration.”
Newton’s First Law II
In part (a) net force acts, causing acceleration.
In part (b) net force = 0 resulting in no acceleration.
Drawing force vectors
Use a vector arrow to indicate the magnitude and direction of the force.
Superposition of forces
• Several forces acting at a point on an object have the same effect as their vector sum acting at the same point.
Decomposing a force into its component vectors
Choose coordinate system with perpendicular x and y axes.
Fx and Fy are components of force along axes.
Use trigonometry to find force components.
Notation for the vector sum
Vector sum of all forces on an object is resultant of forces
The net force.

5-1 Newton's First and Second Laws
Principle of superposition for forces:o A net force has the same impact as a single force with
identical magnitude and directiono So we can restate 1st law even more correctly:

5-1 Newton's First and Second Laws
Newton's first law is true in a non-accelerating frame
Inertial frames:

5-1 Newton's First
Newton's first law is not true in all frames You go around a corner in a car, and seem to
slide SIDEWAYS!?
Air moving south from the north pole towards the equator seems to move to the WEST!!!??
You are on a bus moving away from a stop sign, and your physics books slides backwards with no one touching it!!!!???

5-1 Newton's First and Second Laws
Newton's first law is not true in accelerating frames
(a): a frictionless puck, pushed from the north pole, viewed from space
(b): the same situation, viewed from the ground
Over long distances, the ground is a non-inertial frame
In (b), a fictitious force would be needed to explain deflection
When is Newton’s first law valid?
You are on roller skates in a stopped BART car…
The car starts to accelerate forwards.
What happens to you?
If no net force acts on you, you maintain a constant velocity (0!)
When is Newton’s first law valid?
• You are on roller skates in a moving BART car…
• The car starts to slow - accelerate backwards.
• What happens to you?
• If no net force acts on you, you maintain a constant velocity
When is Newton’s first law valid?
• If no net force acts on you, you maintains a constant velocity (a vector!)
• But as seen in the non-inertial frame of the accelerating vehicle, it appears that you are being pushed to the outside!
• Newton’s first law is valid only in non-accelerating inertial frames.

5-1 Newton's First and Second Laws
What is mass?o “the mass of a body is the characteristic that relates a force on
the body to the resulting acceleration”
o Mass is a measure of a body’s resistance to change in motion
o Literally, # of protons, neutrons, & electrons (regardless of how they are grouped into kinds of elements!)
o It is not the same as weight, density, size etc.
o Same force on LARGER mass produces smaller acceleration!

5-1 Newton's First and Second Laws
Example Apply identical 8.0 N force to various bodies:
o Mass: 1kg → acceleration: 8 m/s2
o Mass: 2kg → acceleration: 4 m/s2
o Mass: 0.5kg → acceleration: 16 m/s2
And if you saw an acceleration from the application of this force…o Acceleration: 2 m/s2 → mass: 4 kg

As an equation, we write:

5-1 Newton's First and Second Laws
If the net force on a body is zero:o Its acceleration is zero
o The forces and the body are in equilibrium
o But there may still be forces! They just must cancel!
Newton’s Second Law
If the net force on an object is zero, the object will not accelerate.
Newton’s Second Law
If the net force on an object is not zero, it causes the object to accelerate.
Newton’s Second Law
If the net force on an object is not zero, it causes the object to accelerate.
An object undergoing uniform circular motion
An object in uniform circular motion is accelerated toward the center of the circle.
So net force on object must point toward the center of the circle.
Force and acceleration
• Magnitude of acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force on the object.
• | | = F/m
F
a
Mass and acceleration
• Magnitude of acceleration of an object is
inversely proportional to object’s mass if net force remains fixed.
• | | = F/m
a
Newton’s second law of motion
The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
The SI unit for force is the newton (N).
1 N = 1 kg·m/s2
m F a
Using Newton’s Second Law
• Worker pushes box of mass 40 kg, with constant force of 20N. What is acceleration?
Using Newton’s Second Law
Using Newton’s Second Law II—Example
• Shove bottle of mass 0.45 kg at initial speed of 2.8 m/s a distance of 1 m before it stops. What is the magnitude and direction of force on bottle?
Using Newton’s Second Law II—Example
• Shove bottle of mass 0.45 kg at initial speed of 2.8 m/s a distance of 1 m before it stops. What is the magnitude and direction of force on bottle?
Using Newton’s Second Law II—Example
• We know:• Displacement in x = +1.0 m
• Initial x velocity = +2.8 m/s
• Final x velocity = 0 m/s
• THREE THINGS!
Using Newton’s Second Law II—Example
• vf2 = vi
2 + 2aDx
• So…
• a = (vf2 - vi
2)/2Dx
• a = - 3.9 m/s2
• NOTE a points in the direction of f !

Free Body Diagrams
To solve problems with forces, we often draw a free body diagram
The only body shown is the one we are solving for
Forces are drawn as vector arrows with their tails on the body
Coordinate system shown
Acceleration is NEVER part of a free body diagram – only forces on a body are present.

5-1 Newton's First and Second Laws
A system consists of one or more bodies Any force on the bodies inside a system exerted by
bodies outside the system is an external force Net force on a system = sum of external forces
Forces between bodies in a system: internal forceso Not included in a Free Body Diagram of the system since
internal forces cannot accelerate the system

5-2 Some Particular Forces
The gravitational force:o A pull that acts on a body, directed toward a second bodyo Generally we consider situations where the second body is
Earth

5-2 Some Particular Forces
Eq. (5-12)
Weight : The name given to the gravitational force
that one body (like the Earth) exerts on an object o It is a force measured in newtons (N)o It is directed downward towards the center

Example To relate weight to mass, consider an apple in free fall. The only force on the apple is the gravitational force which results in an acceleration of g. Applying Newton’s 2nd Law
Fnet = ma where Fnet = Fg = W and a =g

Example To relate weight to mass, consider an apple in free fall. The only force on the apple is the gravitational force which results in an acceleration of g. Applying Newton’s 2nd Law
Fnet = ma where Fnet = Fg = W and a =g
Fg = W = mg
Thus,
W = mg (mass – weight relationship)
Don’t confuse mass and weight!
• Keep in mind that the Newton is a unit of force, not mass.
• A 2.49 x 104 N Rolls-Royce Phantom traveling in +x direction makes an emergency stop; the x component of the net force acting on its -1.83 x 104 N. What is its acceleration?

5-2 Some Particular Forces
Measuring weight:o Use a balance to compare a body to
known masses, find its mass, and compute its weight
o Use a spring scale that measures weight on a calibrated scale
o Weight is not the same as mass: a pan balance will read the same for different values of g, a scale will read differently for different values of g

5-2 Some Particular Forces
Weight must be measured when the body is not accelerating vertically
o E.g., in your bathroom, or on a train
o But not in an elevator
o Or on DROP ZONE
o Or in orbit….

the surface (due to deformation) is the normal force

another o Directed along the surface, opposite to the direction of
intended motion

5-2 Some Particular Forces
Tension force:o A cord (or rope, etc.) is attached to a body and pulled tauto Cord pulls on the body with force T directed along the cord,
AWAY from the body!o The cord is said to be under tensiono The tension in the cord is T and is assumed to be the same
EVERYWHERE along the cord!

5-2 Some Particular Forces
Real world – Tension will distort a cord/cable/string! They stretch!
Ideal world - A massless and unstretchable cord exists only as a connection between two bodieso It pulls on both with the same force, T
o True even if the bodies and cord are accelerating, and even if the cord runs around a massless, frictionless pulley
o These are useful simplifying assumptions

5-3 Applying Newton's Laws
Objects interact when they push or pull on each other:
We can write this law as a scalar or vector relation:
We call these two forces a third-law force pair Any time any two objects interact, there is a third-law
force pair
Eq. (5-15)
Newton’s Third Law
• If you exert a force on a body, the body always exerts a force (the “reaction”) back upon you.
• A force and its reaction force have the same magnitude but opposite directions.
• These forces act on different bodies.
Applying Newton’s Third Law: Objects at rest

A paradox?
If an object pulls back on you just as hard as you pull on it, how can it ever accelerate?

massless and frictionless, and each block as a particle
