ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS
Why do different objects respond differently to equal forces?
What is the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces

4. Force A push or a pull Measured in Newtons (N)
Net force is the total of all forces acting on an object
When net force = 0 the forces are balanced
When net force ≠ 0 the forces are unbalanced

5. Force cont. Unbalanced forces CAN change motion
Balanced forces CANNOT change motion
Inertia - the tendency of an object to resist any change to it’s motion

10. Among other accomplishments, Sir Isaac Newton ( ) invented calculus, developed the laws of motion, and developed the law of gravitational attraction.

11. Newton's First Law of Motion (The Law of Inertia)
objects tend to remain either at rest or in uniform straight line motion (i.e., motion with constant velocity) until acted upon by an unbalanced force
inertia: concept introduced by Galileo

12. Newton’s Laws of Motion
Inertia can be described as the tendency of an object to keep doing whatever’s it’s doing.

13. Newton’s Laws of Motion
INERTIA
Inertia of Rest: The tendency of the body to remain at rest until and unless an unbalanced force acts on it
Inertia of Motion: The tendency of the body to remain in constant motion until and unless an unbalanced force acts on it
Note: Inertia does not have any unit

14. Newton's First Law of Motion (The Law of Inertia)
Relationship between mass and inertia
mass of an object: a measure of the amount of inertia the object has
an object with a larger mass has more inertia (i.e., more resistance to a change in its motion)
an object with a small mass has less inertia

15. The truck is in motion. What is the force that causes it to stop?
The push of the stopped car.
The car is at rest. What is the force that causes it to move?
The push of the truck.
Slide from

16. Top view of a person standing in the aisle of a bus
Top view of a person standing in the aisle of a bus. (A) The bus is at rest, and then starts to move forward. Inertia causes the person to remain in the original position, appearing to fall backward.

17. (B) The bus turns to the right, but inertia causes the person to retain the original straight line motion until forced in a new direction by the side of the bus.

18. Newton's Second Law of Motion
A net force acting on an object produces an acceleration (a change in the motion of the object)
F = ma m = mass of the object
a = acceleration
F = net force acting on the object

19. Newton's Second Law of Motion
the acceleration is:
directly proportional to the net force acting on the object
inversely proportional to the mass of the object

20. Acceleration and Mass - With Friction Zero
Pushing two carts with same force F produces one-half the acceleration. The acceleration varies inversely with the amount of material (the mass).

21. If the force of tire friction (F1) and the force of air resistance (F2) have a vector sum that equals the applied force (Fa), the net force is zero. Therefore, the acceleration is zero (i.e., velocity is constant)

22. More mass results in less acceleration when the same force is applied
More mass results in less acceleration when the same force is applied. With the same force applied, the riders and the bike with twice as much mass will have half the acceleration (with all other factors constant). Note that the second rider is not pedaling.

23. More about: F = ma
the unit of force in the metric system is: Newton (N)
1N = 1 kg m/s2
the unit of force in the English system is: pound (lb)
1 lb = 1 slug x 1 ft/s (slug is the unit of mass in the English system)

24. m=F/a a=F/m m-kg a- m/s2 More about: F = ma
the unit of force in the metric system is: Newton (N)
1N = 1 kg m/s2
m=F/a a=F/m
m-kg a- m/s2

25. More about: F = ma Unknown Value F= ?
What resultant force will give a 3 kg mass an acceleration of 4 m/s2?
Remember F = m a
Given Value: m= 3kg a=4 m/s2
Unknown Value F= ? m=
3 kg

26. More about: F = ma Unknown Value F= ? Given Value: m= 6kg a=2 m/s2
Example 2: What resultant force F is required to give a 6 kg block an acceleration of 2 m/s2?
Remember F = m a
Given Value: m= 6kg a=2 m/s2
Unknown Value F= ? m=
6kg

27. More about: F = ma
The Weight of an object:
the downward pulling force of the Earth on that object (the force of gravity on the object)
is equal to the mass of an object (m) times the acceleration due to gravity (g)
W = mg m=W/g g=W/m

28. Weight and Mass
Weight is the force due to gravity. It is directed downward and it varies from location to location.
Mass is a universal constant which is a measure of the inertia of a body.
W = mg m=W/g g=W/m
W-newton m-kilogram
G-acc. due to gravity - m/s2

29. Weight and Mass Problems
What is the weight of a 10-kg block?
W = mg = (10 kg)(9.8 m/s2)
W = mg m=W/g g=W/m
W-newton m-kilogram
G-acc. due to gravity m/s2
g=9.8 m/s2 W m
10 kg

30. Weight and Mass Problems
What is the mass of a block that weighs 60N?
W = mg therefore m=W/g
m= 60N/9.8m/s2
W-newton m-kilogram
G-acc. due to gravity m/s2
g=9.8 m/s2 W m
m= ? kg

31. A parallel between the mass and the weight of an object
The force of gravity on an object
a vector ( direction: vertically down)
metric unit: N (English unit: lb)
mass
The amount of substance (matter) contained in an object
a scalar quantity (no direction)
metric unit: kg

32. A parallel between the mass and the weight of an object
calculated as: W = mg
(g = gravitational acceleration)
changes with location (with change in g)
on the Moon: gMoon = 1.6 m/s2
weight of an object on the Moon is about six times less than on the Earth
mass
the same everywhere in the universe
ex.: mass of an object on the Moon is the same as on the Earth

33. Newton's Third Law of Motion
Whenever two objects interact, the force exerted by the first object on second is equal in size and opposite in direction to the force exerted by the second object on the first.
F1 = F2 F2 F1

34. Newton’s Third Law
Third Law: For every action force, there must be an equal and opposite reaction force. Forces occur in pairs.
