§4.1 Motion Along a Line
For constant acceleration the kinematic equations are:
1
x  x f  xi  vix t  a x t 2
2
v x  v fx  vix  a x t
v fx  vix  2a x x

x  vav, x t
Also:
vav, x 
vix  v fx

Example: In a previous example, a box sliding across a rough
surface was found to have an acceleration of -2.94 m/s2. If
the initial speed of the box is 10.0 m/s, how long does it take
for the box to come to rest?
Know: a= -2.94 m/s2, vix=10.0 m/s, vfx= 0.0 m/s
Want: t.

Example (text problem 4.8): A train of mass 55,200 kg is
traveling along a straight, level track at 26.8 m/s. Suddenly
the engineer sees a truck stalled on the tracks 184 m ahead.
If the maximum possible braking force has magnitude
84.0 kN, can the train be stopped in time?
Know: vfx = 0 m/s, vix=26.8 m/s, x=184 m
Determine ax and compare to the train’s maximum ax.

§4.4 Projectile Motion
What is the motion of a struck baseball? Once it leaves
the bat (if air resistance is negligible) only the force of
gravity acts on the baseball.
The baseball has ax = 0 and ay = -g, it moves with
constant velocity along the x-axis and with nonzero,
constant acceleration along the y-axis.
15
Example: An object is projected from the origin. The initial
velocity components are vix = 7.07 m/s, and viy = 7.07 m/s.
Determine the x and y position of the object at 0.2 second
intervals for 1.4 seconds. Also plot the results.

Since the object starts from the origin, y and x
will represent the location of the object at time t.

§4.5 Apparent Weight

Apply Newton’s 2nd Law:

F

 N  w  ma y
N  mg  ma y
23
The normal force is the force the scale exerts on you. By
Newton’s 3rd Law this is also the force (magnitude only) you
exert on the scale. A scale will read the normal force.
N  mg  a y 
is what the scale reads.
When ay = 0, N = mg. The scale reads your true weight.
When ay0, N>mg or N<mg.
24
Example: A woman of mass 51 kg is standing in an elevator.
If the elevator pushes up on her feet with 408 newtons of
force, what is the acceleration of the elevator?

woman:

Apply Newton’s 2nd Law:

N  mg  ma y (1)
25
Example continued:
Given: N = 408 newtons, m = 51 kg, g = 9.8 m/s2
Unknown: ay
Solving (1) for ay:
N  mg
ay 

The elevator could be (1) traveling upward with
decreasing speed, or (2) traveling downward
with increasing speed.

cannot be ignored, the FBD for the stone is:
y
Apply Newton’s Second Law
Fd

F
y
 Fd  w  ma
Where Fd is the magnitude of the drag
force on the stone. This force is
directed opposite the object’s velocity
27
Assume that
Fd  bv 2
b is a parameter that depends on the
size and shape of the object.
Since Fdv2, can the object be in equilibrium?

Example (text problem 4.61): A paratrooper with a fully
loaded pack has a mass of 120 kg. The force due to air
resistance has a magnitude of Fd = bv2 where
b = 0.14 N s2/m2.
