Study Notes
Newton's First Law of Motion (Law of Inertia)
- An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
- Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.
- When forces are balanced, the object will remain at rest or in motion with a constant velocity.
- Examples of forces include friction, tension, normal force, air resistance, spring force, and applied force.
- Non-contact forces include gravitational and electromagnetic forces.
- Free-body diagrams (FBD) are diagrams that represent the forces acting on an object.
Newton's Second Law of Motion (Law of Acceleration)
- An object accelerates when an unbalanced net force is applied to it.
- The acceleration is directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to its mass.
- The net force (Fnet) is the difference between the applied force and the opposing force.
- Mathematically, this is expressed as: Fnet = ma, or F = ma.
- The forces acting on an object can be represented in an FBD. For example, an FBD of an object on a surface would include:
- Weight (FW): The force of gravity acting on the object (downward), calculated as FW = mg.
- Normal force: The force acting against weight that is perpendicular to the surface the object is resting on (upward).
- Frictional force: The force that opposes movement caused by the contact between surfaces.
Types of Friction
- Static friction: Friction that opposes motion. An object must overcome static friction in order to move.
- Kinetic friction: Friction that acts on moving surfaces in contact with one another.
