What causes things to move?
• Forces
• What is a force?
– A push or a pull
that one body
exerts on another.
3
•Balanced
No change in motion

Unbalanced
• If the forces acting on a body are
"unbalanced" this means that there is a "net"
or "resultant" force.
• The body will do one of the following:
1. Speed Up
2. Slow Down
3. Change the Direction of its Motion
• In other words
• The Body will Accelerate

Newtons
• SI unit of force is the Newton
(N).
• Defined as the amount of force
that when acting on a 1 kg object
produces an acceleration of
1m/s2.
• Therefore, 1N = 1 kg • m

Newton’s First Law
10
Newton’s First Law
• An object at rest stays at rest, and
an object in motion stays in motion
unless acted upon by a net external
force.
• What do you mean by “Net Force”?
• Net means: Final Sum, so net
external force is the sum of all the
forces acting on the object.
11
Newton’s First Law
•Newton’s First Law is also called
the Law of Inertia.
•
Inertia is the tendency of
an object to resist any
change in its motion.

Why does the ladder
continue to move?
Inertia!

Why does the person continue to move?

14 Newton’s
Second Law
• The acceleration of an object is
directly proportional to the net
external force acting on the object
and inversely proportional to the
object’s mass.

Newton's 2nd Law of Motion:
•Force = mass x acceleration
F = (ma)


Mass is in kg

Acceleration is in m/s

Force is in kg x m/ s (or N)

What force is needed to give an
object with a mass of 25.0 kg an
acceleration of 15.0 m/s2 ?
Formula
Given:
m = 25.0 kg
a = 15.0 m/sec²
F = ma
Unknown:
F=?
F = (25 kg)(15 m/sec²)
F = 375 kg•m/sec² = 375 N

Friction
What Causes Friction?
Microscopic, electrostatic
interactions between contacting
surfaces
• Three types of friction:
1. Static Friction
2. Sliding Friction
3. Rolling Friction
21

Types of Friction
Types of friction:
1. Static – force required to
overcome inertia of a
stationary object

2. Sliding – force required to keep an object
sliding at a constant speed

The amount of force
required to overcome
static friction is always
greater than the force
required to overcome
sliding or rolling
friction.

GRAVITY!!
• The force of gravity is an attractive force
between objects.
• The amount of GRAVITATIONAL FORCE
between objects depends upon their:
• 1- Masses (greater mass means more gravity)
• 2- Distance apart (greater distance means
less gravity)
*All objects fall toward the earth at the same rate
of acceleration, regardless of their masses!

29Free fall and Terminal Velocity
• The opposing force of air resistance
increases with speed.
• Objects accelerate towards the Earth
until the force of gravity is cancelled or
balanced by this air resistance.
• This is the highest speed an object can
reach.
• Different objects have different terminal
velocities.
30
Weight and Gravity
W =m x g
BECAUSE IT’S A FORCE!
31
32
Weight
• When the mass of an
object and the
acceleration due to
gravity are known, the
weight of an object can
be calculated.
Ex. Mass = 100kg
Acc.= 9.81 m/s2
Weight = 981 N
33
Example Problem
• What is your weight if your mass 4.52
kilograms?
Given:
Unknown:
m = 4.52 kg
W=?
g = a = 9.8 m/sec²
Formula: W = mg
W = (4.52kg)(9.8 m/sec²)
W = 44.296 kg•m/sec² = 44.296 N

Projectile Motion

 They have 2 types of motion that are
independent of each other:
1. Horizontal motion
2. Vertical motion
38
Projectile Motion
Which will hit the ground first?
A ball that is dropped straight
down or a ball that is “shot”
out horizontally?
* An object launched horizontally
will land on the ground at the
same time as an object simply
dropped from the same height!!!!

40 Circular Motion
•
Roller Coaster Clip
An object moving in a
circular motion at the same
speed is accelerating toward
the center because its
direction is constantly
changing.
Centripetal acceleration is
acceleration toward the
center of a curved path.
'Centripetal' comes from the Latin word for 'center seeking'
Centrifugal 'force' is really a function of the
inertia of the object being pushed into a circle.
It is not really a force at all, it is simply the
tendency of an object to go in a straight line.
only
centripetal is
the real
force
41
Circular Motion cont.’
• Centripetal
force is the
force that
causes a
moving object
to move in a
curved path
Without a
centripetal
force, an object
in motion
continues along
a straight-line
path.
With a
centripetal
force, an object
in motion will
be accelerated
and change its
direction.
