Measured weight in an accelerating Reference Frame
According to stationary observer
R is reaction force
R
mg

a
= reading on scales
F = ma
Taking “up” as +ve
R - mg = ma
R = m(g + a)
If a = 0 
R = mg
If a is +ve 
R = m(g + a) weight increase
If a is -ve 
R = m(g - a) weight decrease
normal weight
Spring scales
According to traveller
R is reaction force
R
mg
= reading on scales
F = ma
R - mg = ma
BUT in his ref. frame a = 0!
so R = mg!!
How come he still sees R changing when lift accelerates?
Didn’t we say the laws of physics do not depend on the frame
of reference?
Only if it is an inertial frame of reference!
The accelerating lift is NOT!
Why doesn’t Mick Doohan fall over?
Friction provides
the central force
mg
In the rest reference frame
What is Friction
•Surfaces between two materials are not even
•Microscopically the force is atomic
 Smooth surfaces have high friction
•Causes wear between surfaces
 Bits break off
•Lubrication separates the surfaces
The Source of Friction between
two surfaces
Static Friction
If no force F
Surface with
friction
N
F
No friction force f
f
mg
As F increases friction f increases in the opposite direction.
Therefore Total Force on Block = zero  does not move
As F continues to increase, at a critical point most of the
(“velcro”) bonds break and f decreases rapidly.
F is now greater than f
and slipping begins

f depends on surface properties.
Combine these properties into a coefficient of friction m
fmN
m is usually < 1
Static
f < or = ms N
Kinetic
f = mk N
f
Slipping begins (fmax = msN )
fmax
f < fmax (= mkN )
Coefficient of Kinetic friction < Coefficient of Static friction

At qcrit
F=f
mg sin qcrit = f = mS N
mg
= mS mg cosqcrit
mg sin qcrit
thus mS =
mg cos qcrit
mS = tan qcrit
Independent of m, or g.

So why do Petrol Heads use fat tyres?
tribophysics
To reduce wear?
Tyres get hot and sticky which
effectively increases m.
The wider the tyre the greater
the effect?
What force drives the car?

Max value of a is when f is max. fmax = msN = msmg
F = ma  -fmax = mamax  -msmg = mamax
 amax

dmin depends on v2!!
Take care!!
If v0 = 90 kph (24 m s-1) and m = 0.6
==> d = 50 m!!

Fcent is provided by friction.
If no slipping the limit is when
Fcent = fs(limit) = msN = msmg
So that

v  μ s gr
Does not depend on m
So for a given ms (tyre quality)
and given r there is a
maximum vel. for safety.
If ms halves, safe v drops to
70%….take care!
Lateral Acceleration of 4.5 g
The lateral acceleration experienced by a
Formula-1 driver on a GP circuit can be
as high as 4.5 g
This is equivalent to that experienced by
a jet-fighter pilot in fast-turn
manoeuvres.

Central force provided

m for racing tyres is ~ 1 (not 4!).

Volume of air hitting each spoiler (area A) in 1 sec
Area A m2
mass of air (density ) hitting each spoiler in 1 sec
@ 200 kph
v = 55 m s-1
= v x A m3
A ~ 0.5 m2
=  x v x A kg
 ~ 1 kg m-3
Momentum of air hitting each spoiler in 1 sec
=  x v2 x A kg m s-1
If deflected by 900, mom change in 1 sec
Newton says this is the resulting force
mv2/R = mN = mmg
mv2/R = mN = m (m + 3000) g
F ~ 3 x 104 N

VISCOUS DRAG FORCE
VISCOUS DRAG FORCE
What is it?
like fluid friction
a force opposing motion as fluid flows past object
Assumptions
low viscosity (like air)

What does the drag force depend on?
D  velocity (v2)
D  effective area (A)
D  fluid density ()
D  A v2
