1.4: Simple Types of Motion:
Having the initial conditions(initial position and initial velocity), what is the
distance and speed at later time?

Since the v-t relationship is linear

The position,the velocity and the
acceleration for a car starts at rest,
Resting
accelerates for an interval, then moves
t with constant velocity,and then brakes
with negative acceleration to rest again.

Newton’s laws:
What causes the motion?
Force: A push or a pull acting on a body Units of force: Newton, dyne,..etc.
1 Newton: is the force when acts on a particle of mass 1kg, the particle gain
acceleration 1m/s2.
1 Dyne: is the force when acts on a particle of mass 1g, the particle gain
acceleration 1cm/s2.
1N=1kg1m/s2
1 dyne=1g1cm/s2
Q: Show that 1N=105dyne?

Weight: The force due to gravity.
Q:A person has weight 500N on the earth, what is his weight on Fg=w
the moon?

Friction: resistance force for the relative motion.
Static friction: when there is no
Dynamic friction: When there is a motion.
relative motion.
Isaac Newton: (1642-1727) His three laws of motion first appeared in his book
called Principia.
2.2 Newton’s First Law of motion:
A body remains at rest or moves in a straight line at
a constant speed unless acted upon by a force.

Particle initially is moving:
1.constant net force in its direction of motion: Particle accelerate
2.constant net force opposite to its direction of motion: Particle decelerate
3.constant net force perpendicular to its direction of motion:
Uniform circular motion
Centripetal force
2.3 Inertial mass and gravitational mass:
g doesn't depend on mass
Pisa
Galileo 1600’s
2.4 Newton’s Second law of motion:
The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the
object, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Inertial mass and gravitational mass Revisited
F=ma, m is the inertial mass
W=mg, m is the gravitational mass
Since F=w in the free fall and a=g then the inertial mass and the gravitational
mass are equal.

How the idea occurred to Einstein:
“I was sitting in a chair in the patent office in Bern when all of a sudden
A thought occurred to me: If a person falls freely he will not feel his own
Weight. I was startled. This simple thought made a deep impression on me.
It impelled me toward a theory of gravitation.”
