Forces and Mass
Classical Mechanics
does not apply for
• very tiny objects (< atomic sizes)
• objects moving near the speed of light
Newton’s First Law
•
•
If the net force SF exerted on an object is
zero the object continues in its original state of
motion. That is, if SF = 0, an object at rest
remains at rest and an object moving with some
velocity continues with the same velocity.
Contrast with Aristotle!
Forces
•
•
•
Usually a push or pull
Vector
Either contact or field force
Contact and Field Forces
Fundamental (Field) Forces
Types
• Strong nuclear force
• Electromagnetic force
• Weak nuclear force
• Gravity
Strong Nuclear Force
•
•
QCD (Quantum chromodynamics) confines quarks
by exchaning gluons
Nuclear force: binds protons and neutrons
by exchanging pions
Electromagnetic Forces
•
•
•
Opposites attract, like-signs repel
Electric forces bind electrons in atoms
Magnetic forces arise from moving charges
Weak Nuclear Force
•
•
Involves exchange of heavy W or Z particle
Responsible for decay of neutrons
Gravity
•
•
•
Attractive force between any two bodies
Proportional to both masses
Inversely proportional to square of distance
FG

Inertia (Newton’s First Law)
•
Tendency of an object to continue in its original
motion
Mass
•
•
•
A measure of the resistance of an object to
changes in its motion due to a force
Scalar
SI units are kg
Newton’s Second Law
•
Acceleration is proportional to net force and
inversely proportional to mass.

•
Single isolated force cannot exist
For every action there is an equal and opposite
reaction

•
F12 is action force F21
is reaction force

Fg  Fg'
Define the OBJECT (free body)
•
•
•
Newton’s Law uses the
forces acting ON object
n and Fg act on object
n’ and Fg’ act on other
objects
Assumptions for F=ma
•
•
Objects behave as particles
• ignore rotational motion (for now)
Consider only forces acting ON object
• neglect reaction forces
