12. 11 Forces A push or pull that often gives rise to motion. Newton’s Laws: 1. If the force on an object is zero, then it’s velocity is constant. 2. The acceleration = net force / mass. 3. Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object.  F = m a

13. 12 Vector Nature of Forces Forces have: Magnitude Direction  F = m a Vector W =mg Lift Scalar

14. 13 Example: Force and Acceleration A boy pulls a 10 kg cart across the floor. If he pulls with a force of 10 N, the cart moves with constant speed. If he pulls with a force of 15 N what is the acceleration of the cart? F boy N = Normal Force W= Force of gravity f = Friction

15. 14 Example: Force and Acceleration A boy pulls a 10 kg cart across the floor. If he pulls with a force of 10 N, the cart moves with constant speed. If he pulls with a force of 15 N what is the acceleration of the cart? F boy N W f The normal force and weight are equal and opposite in direction (a y = 0). Friction opposes the force of the boy pulling on the cart. N – W = 0 F boy – f = ma x

16. 15 Example: Force and Acceleration A boy pulls a 10 kg cart across the floor. If he pulls with a force of 10 N, the cart moves with constant speed. If he pulls with a force of 15 N what is the acceleration of the cart? F boy N W f F boy – f = ma x When F boy = 10 N, a x = 0 F boy – f = ma x = 0 f = F boy = 10 N

17. 16 Example: Force and Acceleration A boy pulls a 10 kg cart across the floor. If he pulls with a force of 10 N, the cart moves with constant speed. If he pulls with a force of 15 N what is the acceleration of the cart? F boy N W f F boy – f = ma x The force of friction does not increase when the boy increases his force. F boy – f = ma x  a x = (F boy – f)/m a x = (15 N – 10 N)/10 kg = 0.5 m/s 2
