Re-introduction to
Newton’s 3 Laws


A push or pull on an
object.
Unbalanced forces cause
an object to accelerate…




To speed up
To slow down
To change direction
Force is a vector!
What is Force?
Types of Forces

Contact forces: involve contact between
bodies.


Normal, Friction
Field forces: act without necessity of
contact.


Gravity, Electromagnetic, Strong, Weak
Dark side, light side, etc.
Question: Is there really any such
thing as a contact force?
A.
B.
C.
yea.
No.
I think this is a trick so I’m not
answering.
If the net force on a body is zero
then it must….
A.
B.
C.
D.
Be At rest
Have a Constant Velocity
Not be touching the ground
Not be a jedi
Forces and Equilibrium



If the net force on a body is zero, it is in
equilibrium.
An object in equilibrium may be moving
relative to us (dynamic equilibrium).
An object in equilibrium may appear to be
at rest (static equilibrium).

Newton’s First Law





The Law of Inertia.
A body at rest stays at rest unless acted
upon by an external force
A body in motion stays in motion in a
straight line unless acted upon by an
external force.
Or.. Mass wants to do its thing.
This law is commonly applied to the horizontal
component of velocity, which is assumed not to
change during the flight of a projectile.
Note on Inertia




Inertia is a property of matter.
Forget any definition of mass that you
learned in Chemistry.
Mass is a measure of an objects inertia.
It is the resistance to changes in motion
An objects mass cannot change unless
you actually change the amount of
matter present
A.
B.
True- I believe in conservation of mass
False- I am a non-believer and think it’s
more complicated than that.
Newton’s Second Law




A body accelerates when acted upon by
a net external force
The acceleration is proportional to the
net (or resultant) force and is in the
direction which the net force acts.
This law is commonly applied to the
vertical component of velocity.
SF = ma
Newton’s Third Law



For every action there exists an equal and
opposite reaction.
If A exerts a force F on B, then B exerts a
force of -F on A.
Or Action Force = -Reaction Force
Commonly Confused Terms



Inertia: or the resistance of an object to
being accelerated
Mass: the same thing as inertia (to a
physicist).
Weight: gravitational attraction
We normally use the term “weightless” to
describe the feeling that astronauts get when
they are in orbit or in simulators like the Vomit
Comet. What does “weightless” really mean
when applied to these situations?
A.
B.
C.
D.
You have no weight
You have weight but it is not opposed by
another force.
You have no mass
You have been eating dehydrated space food
so you don’t weigh as much.

of mass 3.0 kg. The body moves at
constant speed. What do you know must be
true?
A.

C.
D.
The net force must point in the direction
of motion
The object must be weightless.
The vectors F1 and F2 must be 180°
opposite each other.
The sum of forces F1 and F2 must be
zero

upon the body at this time. What do you know
must be true?

“invading” another object.

body for the center of the planet.

body to turn; perpendicular to velocity.
Centripetal force always arises from
other forces, and is not a unique kind of
force.

Non-uniform Circular Motion



Consider circular motion in which either speed
of the rotating object is changing, or the forces
on the rotating object are changing.
If the speed changes, there is a tangential as
well as a centripetal component to the force.
In some cases, the magnitude of the
centripetal force changes as the circular
motion occurs.
