Lesson 2.1 - Newton’s First Law of Motion

What is Newton’s First Law of Motion?

Every object continues in its state of rest, or of uniform velocity in a straight line, as long as no net force acts on it

consistent with Galileo’s observations
The tendency of an object to maintain its state of rest or uniformity = INERTIA (called law of Inertia)

What are the Inertial Reference Frames?

New’s First Law does not hold in every reference frame
Does not hold in an accelerating frame of reference
Physics is easier in frames where the Law does hold

For most purposes, we usually make the approximation that a reference frame fixed on the Earth is an inertial frame

Any reference frame that moves with constant velocity relative to an inertial frame is called an inertial reference frame
Reference frame not hold = noninertial reference frame

Lesson 2.2 - Newton’s Second Law

What happens when a net force is exerted on an object?

Net force exerted on an object increased its velocity (or reduce it if its in the opposite direction as the motion)
If the net force acts sideways on a moving object, the direction of velocity changes

Generally speaking, the net force causes acceleration

Lesson 2.2 - Newton’s Second Law

What is the proportionality between net force and acceleration? How is this influenced by mass?

Acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the next applied force
Acceleration also dependent on mass: the greater the mass, the less acceleration for the same net force

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it, and is inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

The direction of the acceleration is the direction of the next force acting on the object

Lesson 2.3 - Newton’s Thrid Law

What is Newton’s Third Law of Motion?

Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal force in the opposite direction on the first

“To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction”

All materials, no matter how hard, are elastic to some degree
A force influences the motion of an object only when its applied on that object
A force exerted by an object does not influence that same object - only influences the object on which it is exerted
Ex: force exerted on the Person by the Ground

Lesson 2.4 – Newton’s Laws and Vectors

What are the steps to create a Free-Body Diagram for problems requiring the use of Newton’s Laws?

Draw a sketch of the situation
Consider only one object (at a time) and draw its corresponding free-body diagram
* (a) All the forces acting on it
(b) Include unknown forces
(c) Not include forces acting on other objects***
- Draw the arrow for each force vector with reasonably accurate direction and magnitude
- Lable each force
- Only forces acting on a given object can be included in ΣF = ma for object
Newton’s second law involves vectors, so it’s usually important to resolve vectors into components. Choose x and y axis
For each object, apply Newton’s second law to the x and y component separately
Solve the equation(s) for the unknown(s)

Has negligible mass = force exerted at one end is transmitted undiminished to each adjacent piece of cord along the entire
- ΣF = ma = 0
- If the cord’s mass is zero (or negligible) no matter what a is
- Force pulling on the cord at two ends must add up to zero:

Lesson 2.5 – Newton’s Laws with Friction, Inclines

Lesson 2.5 – Newton’s Laws with Friction, Inclines

How does (sliding) kinetic friction work?

Object slides across a surface, forces of kinetic friction acts opposite to the direction of the objects’ velocity
The magnitude of friction: depends on the two surfaces

The friction force is approximately proportional to the normal force between two surfaces (which is the force that either object exerts on the other and is perpendicular to their common surface and contact)

Proportionality between the magnitudes of the friction force [F_fr] and the normal force [F_N] as an equation by inserting a constant of proportionality µ_k:

F_fr = µ_kF_N

Not a fundamental law, its experimental relationship between the magnitude and force of friction
- F_fr: acts parallel to the two surfaces
- F_N: acts perpendicular to the surfaces
Not a vector equation
µ_k: coefficient of kinetic friction (roughly independent of sliding speed as well as the area in contact)

Perfectly

Lesson 2.5 – Newton’s Laws with Friction, Inclines

What is static friction?

Force parallel to the two surfaces that can arise even when there is no sliding.

Ex: The desk is resting on the floor and there is no horizontal force exerted on the dest, so it doesn’t move. You exert a horizontal force, bt the dest isn’t movies, so there is another force keeping it in place (net force is zero at rest).
If you push with greater force without moving it, then the static friction increased
Push hard enough, kinetic friction takes over = exceeded the maximum force of static friction

Maximum force of static friction:

(F_fr)_max= µ_sF_N

µ_s: coefficient of static friction
Since the static friction can vary from zero to this maximum value:

F_fr≥ µ_sF_N

# Lab: Pulleys What is a Pulley?

Simple machine consisting of a grooved wheel on an axle

# Lab: Pulleys What is a fixed Pulley?

**Fixed Pulley**: Stationary and does not move when a string or rope runs through it Assume that they are massless: rotation of the pulley itself does not need to be taken into account during calculations

# Lab: Pulleys What is a movable pulley?

**Movable Pulley**: Moves as an object Mass must be accounted for

# Lab: Pulleys What is a compound pulley system?

**Compound Pulley System**: Combination of fixed and movable pulley system ## Footnote Single Fixed Pulley: change direction of the force applied Single Movable Pulley and Compound: change direction and magnitude of the force

# Lab: Pulleys What is tension (in a pulley system)?

🔬 **Tension**: Pulling force exerted by a string or rope Assume strings and ropes are massless - tension same all areas of the rope

# Lab: Pulleys Describe the free-body diagram of a single fixed pulley:

1. Tension is the same magnitude on both sides of the pulley 2. equal to the weight of the object

# Lab: Pulleys Describe the free-body diagram of a single movable pulley or compound pulley system:

The direction and magnitude of the tension on each side of the string are different *Single Movable Pulley*: The weight of the object is evenly distributed to the two sides * Weight is canceled by the sum of the tensions on each side * Weight each side = half of total object

# Lab: Pulleys What is Mechanical Advantage?

🔬 _Mechanical Advantage_ (MA): Measure of the multiplication factor for the input force * The ratio of the output force to the input force: MA = F_out / F_in * **Output Force:** Corresponds to the load - object being moved by the machine * **Input Force:** Corresponds to the applied force required to use the machine and move the load

# Lab: Pulleys What is Theoretical Mechanical Advantage?

🔬 _Theoretical Mechanical Advantage_ (TMA): Ideal mechanical advantage of the machine * The ratio of the theoretical output force to the theoretical input force: **TMA = F_{out theory} / F_{in theory}** * Also equals the number of string segments directly supporting the load (number of pulleys supporting the load + 1): **TMA = n + 1** * n = the number of pulleys supported

# Lab: Pulleys What is Actual Mechanical Advantage?

🔬 _Actual Mechanical Advantage_ (AMA): Measured mechanical advantage for the machine * Less than TMA (loss due to friction) * Calculated using the measured input force (EFFORT) and measured output force (LOAD)

# Lab: Pulleys What is Efficiency (in a pulley system)?

🔬 _Efficiency_: Ratio of AMA to TMA **Efficiency = AMA/TMA \* 100%** * the efficiency of a pulley system is effectively a measurement of the amount of friction in the system, or how close to an ideal system a real system is * The more efficient the system, the smaller the amount of friction in the system, and the closer to ideal the system becomes * Efficiency increases by increasing the actual mechanical advantage, accomplished by reducing the friction present in the system. * Real systems are never 100% efficient because some friction always exists in real systems.

# Lab: Pulleys What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?

**Law of Conservation of Energy**: Total energy in an (isolated) system is constant

# Lab: Pulleys Define Work (in a pulley system):

**Work**: Measure of Energy (Joules) and is the force multiplied by the distance over the force acts: *W = Fd* In a pulley system: W_(in) = W_(out) Machine MA \> 1: * Input force is less than the output force * Input force must be larger than the distance over which the output force acts: * Therefore, load moves over a smaller distance than the effort or applied force * The larger the mechanical advantage of a machine, the smaller the effort required and the greater the distance the applied force must act over in order to move the load a given distance *F_out / F_in = d_in / d_out = MA*

# Lab Experiment: Friction What is Static Friction?

📋 **Static Friction**: _Exists between two objects that are not moving relative to one another even though an applied force acts to attempt to cause motion, range of magnitudes_ * Magnitude: increases proportionally to the applied force up to some maximum value * Values of static friction force less than the maximum force, no universal equations used to define magnitude: f_s= F_app * Maximum static friction force can be applied before the object starts to slip: F_s,max = μ_sF_N *Coefficient of Static Friction* - dependent upon the materials in contact with one another and is determined experimentally * Lower the value of the coefficient * lower the value of the coefficient of static friction between two materials, the easier the objects slide against one another, and the smaller the maximum force of static friction is between them * Larger the normal force = larger the maximum static friction force: F_s,max \< μ_sF_N

# Lab Experiment: Friction What is kinetic friction?

📋 **Kinetic Friction**: Friction force between the objects * Parallel to the interacting surface * Points in the opposite direction as the motion * f_k = μ_kF_N *Coefficient of Kinetic Friction*: Two materials is always smaller than the coefficient of the static friction for the same two materials

# Lab Experiment: Friction What causes friction?

Friction is caused by the interactions of microscopic molecules at the surface of two interacting objects Molecular bonds form where the surfaces do touch. These bonds must be broken to move the object, causing the resistive static friction force * These bonds must be broken to move the object, causing the resistive static friction * Once the bonds are broken and the object is moving, the bonds cannot re-form but attraction remains between the closest points of contact of the two objects, causing the smaller kinetic friction force Friction between objects increases the thermal energy of the molecules at the surface, resulting in an increase in surface temperature
