Force and Mass

Force: A force, simply put, is a push or a pull.

Force is a vector quantity, specified by





the magnitude (or strength) of the force, and
the direction in which the force acts
Total force (or the resultant force, or the net
force): The total force exerted on an object is the
vector sum of the individual forces acting on it.
Units for forces: newtons (N). 1N  (1/4) of a pound.
Mass: Mass is a measure of the quantity of
matter in an object. It is a scalar. It is an
inherent property of an object. Units = kg

Typical Examples of Forces
N

Book
Force of gravity Fg: The attractive force
exerted by the earth on an object.


Fg
N

Direction: Directed toward the center of the earth.
Magnitude: The magnitude of the force of gravity
on an object is called the weight of the object W.
Weight: W = mg


Fg

m: the mass of the object.
g: the acceleration due to gravity (or free fall
acceleration)
Normal force N: It is a contact force that is
acting perpendicular to the surface.

Newton’s First Law of Motion
(The Law of Inertia)

Newton’s First Law of Motion: If the net
force on an object is zero, its velocity is
constant.



“Net force is zero” means: 1) no force acts on the
object or 2) forces act on the object, but they sum
to zero.
Inertia: The property of objects to resist changes
in motion is called inertia. (The literal meaning of
the word inertia is “laziness”.)
Mass is that property of an object that specifies
how much inertia the object has.

An Example of Inertia
The bus suddenly slows down. Do you lurch
forward or backward? And why? How about
when the bus suddenly speed up from rest?

Newton’s Second Law of
Motion

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 its mass.



a = ( F)/m, or  F = ma
The above equation is equivalent to three
component equations:
 Fx = max,  Fy = may,  Fz = maz.

Active Example 5-1
The Force Exerted by Foamcrete: Foamcrete is a
solid paving material soft enough to collapse under
the weight of an airliner. It is designed to stop an
airplane that has run off the end of a runway.
Suppose a 747 jetliner with a mass of 1.75  105 kg
and an initial speed of 26.8 m/s is slowed to a stop
in 122 m. What is the magnitude of the retarding
force exerted by the Foamcrete on the plane?

Active Example 5-2

Find the Speed of the Sled:
A 4.60-kg sled is pulled
across a smooth ice
surface. The force acting on
the sled is of magnitude
6.20 N and points in a
direction 35.0 above the
horizontal. If the sled starts
at rest, how fast is it going
after being pulled for 1.15
s?

Another Example

To give a 19 kg-child a ride,
two teenagers pull on a 3.7
kg-sled with ropes. Both
teenagers pull with a force of
55 N at an angle of 35°
relative to the forward
direction, which is the
direction of motion. In
addition, the snow exerts a
retarding force on the sled
that points opposite to the
direction of motion, and has
a magnitude of 57 N. Find
the acceleration of the sled
and child.

Example 5-9: Object on an
Inclined Plane

A child of mass m rides on
a toboggan down a slick,
ice-covered hill inclined at
an angle  with respect to
the horizontal.


(a) What is the acceleration
of the child?
(b) What is the normal force
exerted on the child by the
toboggan?

Newton’s Third Law of Motion

Newton’s Third Law of Motion: If two
objects interact, the force F12 exerted by
object 1 on object 2 is equal in magnitude to
and opposite in direction to the force F21
exerted by object 2 on object 1.



For every action there is an equal and opposite
reaction.
The action-reaction forces always act on different
objects. As a result, the two forces do not cancel.
Forces always come in pairs.

Examples of Action-Reaction
Pairs


The action-reaction
forces always act on
different objects. As a
result, the two forces do
not cancel.
Since the action-reaction
forces act on different
objects (different
masses), they generally
produce different
accelerations.
