Turning car
An object free to slide on the dashboard,

Newton’s 3 laws of motion
Isaac Newton 1642 --- 1727
Alexander Pope:
Nature and nature’s laws lay hid in the night
God said, “Let Newton be,” and all was light.
1st Law: Law of Inertia
A body at rest tends to stay at
rest, a body in motion tends to
keep moving along at a constant
speed and in a straight-line
path unless interfered with by
some external forces.
example
Motorcycle crash dummy
Another example
(watch the ladder)
2nd Law: F=ma
The acceleration of a body is directly
proportional to the net force acting on
it and inversely proportional to its
mass.The direction of the acceleration
is in the direction of the applied force.
Directly proportional to Force

“Inertial” mass
“Inertial” mass, mi, is the resistance to
changes in the state of motion
Objects with large mi
are hard to get moving
(& once started, hard
to stop),
Objects with small mi
easier to get moving
(& easier to stop),
Units again! (we cant avoid them!)
Mass: basic unit = 1kilogram = 1kg

Net force
Tip-to-tail method
for adding vector
Slide tail of one to tip
of the other (keep
directions fixed)
Net force is the vector
from the tail of the 1st to
the tip of the 2nd. (0 in
this case).
Tip-to-tail method
Slide tail of one to tip
of the other (keep
directions fixed)
Net force points

Newton’s 2nd law  F=ma
a  F
a  1/m
a is proportional to F:
direction of a
= direction of F: a  F
a is inversely
proportional to m:
a  F/m
combine:
set proportionality
constant = 1: a = F/m
multiply
both sides
by m
Weight = Force of gravity
a = g
M
Bowling

m
Beach

a = g
F1 = ma F2 = Ma
Free-fall acceleration of a beach ball
& a bowling ball are the same: a=g
Bowling ball has more inertia: M > m
Force of gravity must be larger on the bowling ball
by a factor that is proportional to mass
Weight is proportional to mass
Newton’s 2nd law: F=ma
If gravity is the only force: F = W
a = g
W = mg

Two different aspects of mass

Convert to Newtons:
W = 85 kg x 9.8m/s2 = 833 N
kg m/s2
Units of N =
Kgf =“kilogram force” = 9.8 N
kg is a unit of mass, not force
Newton’3rd Law: action-reaction
Whenever one object exerts a force on a
second object, the second object
exerts an equal in magnitude but
opposite in direction force on the first.
action: I push
on the canoe
reaction: the
canoe pushes
me forward
Action Reaction

The bus exerted an “equal but opposite” force on me.

All forces come in pairs!
This force causes me

This force tries to accel.

  • 46. Newton’3rd Law: action-reaction Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal in magnitude but opposite in direction force on the first. action: I push on the canoe reaction: the canoe pushes me forward
  • 48. I push on the bus F v= 0
  • 49. But I accelerate Newton: The bus exerted an “equal but opposite” force on me. v
  • 50. Look again F -F All forces come in pairs! This force causes me to accelerate backwards This force tries to accel. the bus forward
  • 51. Air-filled balloon action: balloon pushes on air reaction: air pushes on balloon
  • 52. recoil action: gun exerts force F2 on bullet making it accelerate reaction: equal but opposite force on the gun F1 Produces a recoil
  • 53. Rocket propulsion action: rocket engine pushes exhaust gasses out the rear reaction: rocket gets pushed in the opposite direction
