Science Starter!Draw a free-body diagram for:
1) A chair at rest on the floor.
2) A ball rolling to the right and slowing down across a grassy field.
1.)
2.)
according to Newton’s 1st Law:
- objects at rest remain at rest unless a force is applied to move them
- objects in motion stay in motion unless a force is applied to change their speed or direction
Remember that….
Newton’s Second Law
The net force applied to an object to change its state of motion is directly
proportional to the object’s mass and resulting acceleration of the object.
Newton’s 2nd Law (formula form)
FNet = ma
Fnet (or ΣF): “Net Force” - The vector sum of all forces acting on an object [Newtons (N)]
m: mass (kg)
a: acceleration (m/s2)
Weight vs. MassWeight: “Fg” force of gravity pulling on an
object
F = ma a acceleration“g” acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s2)
THEREFORE:
Fg = mg
Example
A ball has a mass of 8.0 kg. What is the ball’s weight on earth ?
(1) m = 8.0 kg g = 9.8 m/s2
Fg = ?
(2) Fg = mg
(3) Fg = (8.0 kg) (9.8 m/s2)
(4-5) Fg = 78.4 N
Net ForceForces in “x” direction can be added,Forces in “y” direction can be added:
Can be written as: FNETx
OR Σ Fx
FNETy OR Σ Fy
CHEAT: Direction of acceleration is the POSITIVE DIRECTION
Example 1A 10 kg wagon is being pulled to the right with 20 N of force. Between the tires and
the ground, there is 12 N of friction.
a) Draw a free-body diagram.b) Write an “FNET Equation” for the vertical and horizontal directions.c) Determine the acceleration of the wagon.
Σ Fy = FN – Fg Σ Fx = F – Ff
(0) = FN – (10)(9.8) m(a) = F – Ff
10 (a) = (20) – (12)
10 (a) = 8a = 0.8 m/s2
Two students are playing tug-of-war over a 15 kg crate. Joe pulls to the right with 40 N of force, while Bob pulls to the left with 60 N of force. The frictional force between the crate and the
ground is 5 N.
a) Draw a free-body diagram.b) Write an “FNET Equation” for the vertical and horizontal directions.c) Determine the acceleration of the crate.
Example 2
Σ Fy = FN – Fg Σ Fx = FBob – Ff – FJoe
(0) = FN – (15)(9.8) m(a) = FBob – Ff – FJoe
15 (a) = (60) –
(5) – (40)
15 (a) = 15
a = 1.0 m/s2
Hooke’s Law: the Spring Force
Robert Hooke:
Fs = kx
Fs: Spring Force (N)
k: Spring Constant (N/m)x: Stretch distance (m)
Example 3A 5 kg mass hangs from a spring of spring constant 120 N/m. How far will the spring
stretch once the mass is at rest?
a) Draw a free-body diagram of the mass.b) Write an “FNET Equation” for the vertical and horizontal directions.c) Determine the stretch distance of the spring. How many centimeters is this?
Σ Fy = Fs – Fg Σ Fx = 0
(m)(a) = (k)(x) – (m)(g)5 (0) = (120)(x) – (5)(9.8)0 = 120 (x) – 4949 = 120 xx = 0.408 m = 40.8 cm
