Study Notes
Chapter 5: The Laws of Motion
- This chapter covers the fundamental concepts of force, Newton's laws of motion, and the concept of mass.
The Concept of Force
- Contact forces: Forces that involve physical contact between objects (e.g., pushing a cart, hitting a ball).
- Field forces: Forces that act over a distance without physical contact (e.g., gravitational force, electric force, magnetic force)
Newton's First Law and Inertial Frames
- In the absence of external forces, an object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion continues in motion with a constant velocity (constant speed in a straight line) in an inertial frame of reference.
- An inertial frame is a frame of reference that is not accelerating.
Newton's Second Law
- The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.
- ΣF = ma (Vector equation, where ΣF is the net force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration).
Newton's Third Law
- For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
- If object 1 exerts a force on object 2, then object 2 exerts an equal and opposite force on object 1.
- F12 = -F21
Mass
- Mass is a measure of an object's resistance to changes in its velocity.
- Mass is a scalar quantity and has units of kilograms (kg).
Units of Force
- The SI unit of force is the newton (N).
- 1 N = 1 kg⋅m/s²
The Gravitational Force and Weight
- The gravitational force Fg = mg, where m is the mass and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
- Weight is a measure of the gravitational force on an object.
- Weight is a vector quantity.
- Acceleration due to gravity (g) varies with geographic location.
Quick Quizzes
- Multiple choice questions covering the concepts of force, mass, and Newton's laws.
- Questions include scenarios that test student understanding of the relation between force, mass, and acceleration.
Analysis Models
- Analysis model used in solving mechanics problems, where the summation of forces equals mass multiplied by acceleration ΣF = ma.
- For the particle in equilibrium, the summation of forces ΣF = 0, and the acceleration a = 0.
- For frictional forces: ƒ≤μₙ and ƒₖ =μₖₙ.
- ƒₛ,max = μₛₙ.
Examples
- Numerical examples demonstrating the application of Newton's laws of motion and analysis models, including the Atwood machine, inclined planes, and others.
