Friction in a viscous medium
Drag Force Quantified


With a cross sectional area, A (in m2), coefficient of drag of
1.0 (most objects),  sea-level density of air, and velocity, v
(m/s), the drag force is:
D = ½ C  A v2  c A v2
in Newtons
c = ¼ kg/m3
In falling, when D = mg, then at terminal velocity
Example: Bicycling at 10 m/s (22 m.p.h.), with projected area
of 0.5 m2 exerts ~30 Newtons
 Minimizing drag is often important
Physics 207: Lecture 8, Pg 7
“Free” Fall


Terminal velocity reached when Fdrag = Fgrav (= mg)
For 75 kg person with a frontal area of 0.5 m2,
vterm  50 m/s, or 110 mph
which is reached in about 5 seconds, over 125 m of fall
Physics 207: Lecture 8, Pg 8
Newton’s Laws
Law 1: An object subject to no external forces is at rest or
moves with a constant velocity if viewed from an inertial
reference frame.
Law 2:
For any object, FNET = S F = ma
Law 3:
Forces occur in pairs: FA , B = - FB , A
(For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.)
Read: Force of B on A
Physics 207: Lecture 8, Pg 10
Newton’s Third Law:
If object 1 exerts a force on object 2 (F2,1 ) then object 2
exerts an equal and opposite force on object 1 (F1,2)
F1,2 = -F2,1
For every “action” there is an equal and opposite “reaction”
IMPORTANT:
Newton’s 3rd law concerns force pairs which
act on two different objects (not on the same object) !
Physics 207: Lecture 8, Pg 11
Gravity
Newton also recognized that gravity is an
attractive, long-range force between any two
objects.
When two objects with masses m1 and m2 are
separated by distance r, each object “pulls” on the
other with a force given by Newton’s law of gravity,
as follows:
Physics 207: Lecture 8, Pg 12
Cavendish’s Experiment
F = m1 g = G m1 m2 / r2
g = G m2 / r2
If we know big G, little
g and r then will can
find m2 the mass of
the Earth!!!
Physics 207: Lecture 8, Pg 13
Example (non-contact)
Consider the forces on an object undergoing projectile motion
FB,E = - mB g
FB,E = - mB g
FE,B = mB g
FE,B = mB g
EARTH
Question: By how much does g change at an altitude of
40 miles? (Radius of the Earth ~4000 mi)
Physics 207: Lecture 8, Pg 14
Example
Consider the following two cases (a falling ball and ball
on table),

Normal Forces
Certain forces act to keep an object in place.
These have what ever force needed to balance all others
(until a breaking point).
FB,T
FT,B
Main goal at this point : Identify force pairs and apply
Newton’s third law

Second: Action/reaction pair forces

The flying bird in the cage

You have a bird in a cage that is resting on your upward
turned palm. The cage is completely sealed to the
outside (at least while we run the experiment!). The bird
is initially sitting at rest on the perch. It decides it needs
a bit of exercise and starts to fly.
Question: How does the weight of the cage plus bird
vary when the bird is flying up, when the bird is flying
sideways, when the bird is flying down?

So, what is holding the airplane up in the sky?

The force exerted by the bus on the fly is,
A.
B.
C.
greater than
equal to
less than
that exerted by the fly on the bus.
Physics 207: Lecture 8, Pg 20
Exercise 2
Newton’s Third Law
Same scenario but now we examine the accelerations
A fly is deformed by hitting the windshield of a speeding bus.

v
The magnitude of the acceleration, due to this collision, of
the bus is
A. greater than
B. equal to
C. less than
that of the fly.
Physics 207: Lecture 8, Pg 21
Exercise 2
Newton’s Third Law
Solution
By Newton’s third law these two forces form an interaction
pair which are equal (but in opposing directions).

Thus the forces are the same
However, by Newton’s second law Fnet = ma or a = Fnet/m.
So Fb, f = -Ff, b = F0
but |abus | = |F0 / mbus | << | afly | = | F0/mfly |
Answer for acceleration is (C)

Example: Friction and Motion

A box of mass m1 = 1 kg is being pulled by a horizontal
string having tension T = 40 N. It slides with friction
(mk= 0.5) on top of a second box having mass m2 = 2 kg,
which in turn slides on a smooth (frictionless) surface.
 What is the acceleration of the second box ?


Newtons 3rd law says the force box 2 exerts on box 1 is
equal and opposite to the force box 1 exerts on box 2.

As we just saw, this force is due to friction:
