Brainstorm: What is a Force?
Slide 2-34
What Is a Force?
A force...
... is a push or pull.
... is a vector.
... acts on an
object.
... requires an
agent.
... is a contact force or a
long-range force.
Slide 4-10
Newton’s Zeroeth Law of Motion
Objects are dumb - They have no memory of the past and
cannot predict the future. Objects only know what acts
directly on them in a given moment.
Slide 2-34
Types of forces
Contact Forces vs. Non-contact Forces
Defining normal Forces and Friction Forces
Contact forces arise when two objects interact due to
surfaces in contact. These forces can be broken into two
components parallel and perpendicular to the surface
• The component parallel to the surface is the friction force
• The component perpendicular to the surface is the
normal force. (normal is a mathematical term meaning
perpendicular.)

Free-Body Diagrams
You should always describe a force by identifying the type
of force, the force agent and the object being acted on. For
a force diagram label forces like this => Fg, Earth=>box
System Schema
Draw a system schema:
• Draw a diagram where you write down the name of each object in
the system and then draw a solid circle drawn around it.
• Draw two sided arrows like this
between the object circles
of objects that interact (This illustrates all interactions between the
objects in this diagram).
• Draw an additional dotted line around the block to indicate it is the
object of interest. This diagram is called a system schema.
A system schema illustrates all the relevant interactions between the
objects in a given physical situation
Each double-headed arrow represents an action-reaction pair of forces
A.K.A. a Newton’s 3rd Law pair
Newton's First Law of Motion
DEMO - Pushing the cart on track
DEMO - Hoverpuck
=> How much force is need to make an
object move with constant velocity?
What Causes Motion?
In the absence of any forces acting on it, an object will continue
moving forever. Motion needs no “cause.”
Slide 4-8
Newton's First Law of Motion
Every object continues in a state of rest or a state of motion with
a constant speed in a straight line unless acted on by an
unbalanced force.
or
Velocity = constant if and only if (IFF) Fnet = 0
Seat Belts: An Application of Newton’s First Law
Slide 4-16
Newton's First Law of Motion Demonstrations
DEMO - Smash the HAND
DEMO - Tablecloth
Newton’s Second Law
What happens when Fnet is not = 0?
acceleration is a change in speed or a change in direction of speed.
