Newton’s Laws
In order to change the velocity of an object – magnitude or direction – a net force is required.
(I)
(II)
Newton’s third law: If object 1 exerts a force on object 2, then object 2 exerts a force – on object 1.
(III)

Contact Force
Two blocks of masses 2m and m
are in contact on a horizontal
frictionless surface. If a force F0
is applied to mass 2m, what is
the force on mass m ?

The force F0 leads to a specific
acceleration of the entire system. In
order for mass m to accelerate at the
same rate, the force on it must be
smaller! For the two blocks together,
F0 = (3m)a. Since a is the same for
both blocks, Fm = ma

Two boxes sit side-by-side on a smooth horizontal surface. The lighter box has a mass of 5.2 kg, the heavier box has a mass of 7.4 kg. (a) Find the contact force between these boxes when a horizontal force of 5.0 N is applied to the light box. (b) If the 5.0-N force is applied to the heavy box instead, is the contact force between the boxes the same as, greater than, or less than the contact force in part (a)? Explain. (c) Verify your answer to part (b) by calculating the contact force in this case.
The boxes will remain in contact, so must have the same acceleration. Use Newton’s second law to determine the magnitude of the contact forces
The lighter box will require less net force than the heavier box did (for the same acceleration). If the external force is instead applied to the heavier box, the contact force must be less than it was before:

Forces in Two Dimensions
The easiest way to handle forces in two dimensions is to treat each dimension separately, as we did for kinematics.
Normal Forces
The normal force is the force exerted by a surface on an object, to keep an object above the surface.
The normal force is always perpendicular to the surface.
The normal force may be equal to, greater than, or less than the weight.
No vertical motion, so
WeightApparent weight:
Your perception of your weight is based on the contact forces between your body and your surroundings.
If your surroundings are accelerating, your apparent weight may be more or less than your actual weight.
In this case the “apparent weight” is the normal force, and is equal to the sum of the gravitational attaction (actual weight) and the force required to accelerate the body, as specified
Below you see two cases: a physics student pulling or pushing a sled with a force F that is applied at an angle . In which case is the normal force greater?
a) case 1
b) case 2
c) it’s the same for both
d) depends on the magnitude of the force F
e) depends on the ice surface
Normal Force
Case 1
Case 2
In case 1, the force F is pushing down (in
addition to mg), so the normal force needs
to be larger. In case 2, the force F is
pulling up, against gravity, so the normal
force is lessened.

On an Incline
Consider two identical
blocks, one resting on a
flat surface and the other
resting on an incline. For
which case is the normal
force greater?
In case A, we know that N = W.
In case B, due to the angle of the
incline, N < W. In fact, we can
see that N = W cos().
Translation Equilibrium
“translational equilibrium” = fancy term for not accelerating = the net force on an object is zero
example: book on a table
example: book on a table in an elevator at constant velocity

A weight on a string...if I pull the bottom string down, which string will break first?
a) top string
b) bottom string
c) there is not enough information to answer this question
How quickly is the string pulled? A sudden, strong tug is resisted by the inertia of the mass, protecting the top string. A gradual pull forces the top string to keep the system in equilibrium.
Before practicing his routine on the rings, a 67-kg gymnast stands motionless, with one hand grasping each ring and his feet touching the ground. Both arms slope upward at an angle of 24° above the horizontal.
(a) If the force exerted by the rings on each arm has a magnitude of 290 N, and is directed along the length of the arm, what is the magnitude of the force exerted by the floor on his feet?
(b) If the angle his arms make with the horizontal is greater that 24°, and everything else remains the same, is the force exerted by the floor on his feet greater than, less than, or the same as the value found in part (a)? Explain.

a)
b) if the angle is larger and everything else remains the same, the applied forces are more vertical. With more upward force from the arms, LESS normal force is required for zero acceleration

a) N > mg
b) N = mg
c) N < mg (but not zero)
d) N = 0
e) depends on the size of the elevator
m a
A block of mass m rests on
the floor of an elevator that is
accelerating upward. What is
the relationship between the
force due to gravity and the
normal force on the block?
Going Up II
34
The block is accelerating upward, so
it must have a net upward force. The
forces on it are N (up) and mg
(down), so N must be greater than
mg in order to give the net upward
force!
a) N > mg
b) N = mg
c) N < mg (but not zero)
d) N = 0
e) depends on the size of the elevator
ΣF = N – mg = ma > 0∴ N > mg

Frictional Forces
Friction has its basis in surfaces that are not completely smooth:
Kinetic friction
Kinetic friction: the friction experienced by surfaces sliding against one another
The frictional force is proportional to the contact force between the two surfaces (normal force):
The constant is called the coefficient of kinetic friction.
fk always points in the direction opposing motion of two surfaces
Frictional Forces

Naturally, for any frictional force on a body, there is an opposing reaction force on the other body

other

when relative motion stops, surfaces settle
into one another
static friction
The static frictional force tries to keep an object from starting to move when other forces are
applied.
Static Friction
The static frictional force has a maximum value, but
may take on any value from zero to the maximum... depending on what is needed to
keep the sum of forces to zero.
The maximum static frictional force is also
proportional to the contact force
A block sits on a flat table. What is the force of static friction?
Static Friction
a) zero
b) infinite
c) you need to tell me stuff, like the mass of the block, μs, and what planet this is happening on
Characteristics of Frictional Forces• Frictional forces always oppose relative motion
•Static and kinetic frictional forces are independent of the area of contact between objects
• Kinetic frictional force is also independent of the relative speed of the surfaces.
(twice the mass = twice the weight = twice the normal force = twice the frictional force)
• Coefficients of friction are independent of the mass of objects, but in (most) cases forces are not:
