Newton’s Second Law Chapter 4 Net Force causing acceleration Friction Air resistance
2
Student Learning Outcomes Understand when Newton’s law of inertia applies and when it does not Understand what happens to objects when there is a net force (Newton’s 2 nd law) Calculate accelerations from the net force Understand a conceptual model of friction – Calculate acceleration when friction acts Understand a conceptual model of air resistance – Calculate acceleration when falling with air resistance

What can happen to an object when the net force on it equals zero? Select all that apply. 1.Speed up 2.Slow down 3.Change direction 4.Stay at rest 5.Move in a line with constant speed Give examples in this room where the net force = 0. 1234567891011121314151617181920 21222324252627282930

What can happen to an object when the net force on it is NOT zero? Select all that apply. 1.Speed up 2.Slow down 3.Change direction 4.Stay at rest 5.Move in a line with constant speed Give a one word answer to the question, “What happens to an object when the net force on it is NOT zero?” 1234567891011121314151617181920 21222324252627282930

Friction - what When does friction occur? – __________________________________________ _______________________________ In which direction does friction push? – ________________________________________. Note the word “__________” left out of your textbook! Sliding cart with scale – Start slowly, pull stronger. Maximum friction force? – Constant speed: how much friction force?
9
4 examples 5-kg box sits on flat floor. Maximum friction force is 100 N. Draw a picture for each of the 4 cases. – What is the net force in these cases? – What happens to the box? – Calculate acceleration. 1.You push to right with 70 N 2.You push to right with 100 N 3.You push to right with 110 N 4.You push to left with 120 N

Friction - why Why does friction occur? – ________________________________________ ______________________________ Figure 4.3:
11
What does friction depend on? Surprising, _________ and _______________ – How do we know? – Except for “______________ ” (or ____________ ____________________) In these cases, friction happens because ____________ ___________________________) ____________________________________ ___________________________________
12
___ Types of friction ______________________ friction – When ____________________________________ ___________ friction – When ___________________________________ _____________________________________ – The surfaces ___________ if there were no friction. ___________ friction (not in your textbook) – When one object __________ across a surface
13
Which kind of friction is weakest? 1.Static friction 2.Sliding (kinetic) friction 3.Rolling friction 4.All 3 are the same 1234567891011121314151617181920 21222324252627282930

Newton’s 3 rd law causing ________ accelerations Newton’s 3 rd law told us – _____________________________________________ _______________________________. Yet we “know” BIG truck “______” and little car “______” in a collision. Why? [Rhetorical] On next slide, I’m going to color code car and truck. In your notes, somehow “color” code them too.
15
Unequal accelerations, continued F truck on car makes ____________________________ – F car on truck makes ____________________________ Summary – putting it all together: Written more graphically: And what do people feel?
16
Simple gravity (More complicated version of gravity is our next chapter, chap. 9 – we’ll come back to 6-8) __________________________, we can say: – ______________________________ On Earth: _____________________________________ On Moon: about 1/6, 3.7 miles/hr per sec) The acceleration number is called _________ – __________________________ (symbol: ____) – ________________________________________ – _________________________________________ ________________________________________

You have two balls of equal size and smoothness, and you can ignore air resistance. One is heavy, the other much lighter. You hold one in each hand at the same height above the ground. You release them at the same time. What will happen? 1.The heavier one will hit the ground first. 2.They will hit the ground at the same time. 3.The lighter one will hit the ground first. 1234567891011121314151617181920 2122232425262728293031323334353637383940 41424344454647484950

Same objects. How does the acceleration of gravity compare? Be careful! 1.The heavier one has a larger gravitational acceleration. 2.They have the same gravitational acceleration. 3.The lighter one has a larger gravitational acceleration. 1234567891011121314151617181920 2122232425262728293031323334353637383940 41424344454647484950
