    I Important Rem Nders: Note Distinction Between Mass and Weight

    Uploaded by

    The document provides an overview of Newton's laws of motion. It discusses Newton's three laws, including that objects remain at rest or constant velocity if the net external force is zero (first law), force equals mass times acceleration (second law), and for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction (third law). It also defines units of force as kilograms per meters squared (Newtons) and emphasizes that Newton's laws only apply in inertial reference frames.

    More 2-D examples


    Circular motion Exam #1 is this Friday at 10am
    Today Material covered is through 2-D motion
    Newtons Three Laws Information and sample problems are posted on the
    Important Concepts web page. Also copies of PRS, InClass problems
    and presentation slides.
    Remember how vectors change
    In addition to tutoring sessions, recitations, and
    Remember how vectors add
    office hours, there will be a Questions and Answer
    Separate external and internal forces session tonight from 7-9pm.
    Think carefully about what object each force acts on

    a consequence of this equation.
    Constant velocity means both magnitude and direction
    Forces add as vectors
    No net force doesn t mean no force at all, just that
    The total force points in the direction of the acceleration
    whatever forces are present add up to zero
    The force and acceleration are related by m, a property
    Only forces between objects, not internal forces count
    of the object itself. Basically, how much stuff is there.
    This works both ways, if v is constant, then F must be Note distinction between mass and weight
    zero and if F=0, then v must be constant.

    Units of Force Newtons Third Law


    m The most confusing of them all!
    Acceleration is
    s2 Force due to object A on object B is always exactly
    Use caution not to confuse m the mass, a property of an
    object, and m the meter, a unit of length equal in magnitude and always exactly opposite in
    direction to the force due to object B on object A.
    Mass is in kg
    The two forces are called an action-reaction pair
    kg m
    So, Force is =N The two forces are equal and opposite in direction but do
    s2
    not add to zero and go away in solving problems
    because they act of different objects
    N is the Newton, the short unit for force. It only makes sense to add forces on a single object
    If you consider A+B as a single object, then these
    forces become internal and do drop out

    Inertial Reference Frames Summary


    Force is related to the change in the velocity vector
    These principles only apply for observers who are ! !
    not accelerating, a so-called inertial frame ! F = ma
    kg m
    There are philosophical objections to this concept The unit of force is the Newton which equals
    s2
    since its hard to precisely define an inertial frame Action-reaction pairs are an important concept in
    except as one where Newtons Laws are valid solving problems but need to be considered very
    Alternative formulations are beyond the scope of carefully, especially the fact that the two forces in the

    These concepts only apply as phrased here in inertial
    reference frames
