GPS: Measure and calculate frictional
forces and Newton’s three laws of motion
EQ: What is the difference between
contact forces and field forces?
• Force: Any push or pull
– Unit of force is a Newton (N)
– Is a vector quantity
• Symbolized using arrows
• Arrows denote direction and magnitude
(size)
• Multiple forces act on objects
• Newton’s laws deal with net force –
the leftover force after all forces
have acted on an object
Categorizing Forces
• Contact forces – object from the external
world applies a force to a system by
touching it
• Examples:
– Friction
– Normal force
– Tension
Categorizing Forces
• Field force – object from external world
applies a force to a system WITHOUT
touching it
• Example:
– Gravitational force (weight)
– Electromagnetic force
Free body diagrams
• Forces result from interactions between
masses
• Mass which causes the force is the “agent”
• The object acted on by the force is the
“system”
• Example: falling book
– Book’s mass is system
– Earth’s mass is agent
Free Body Diagrams
• Free body diagrams allow analysis of how forces
affect motion
• ID system – draw as circle – or particle (dot)
• ID agents – draw as vectors (arrows)
– ID everywhere system touches external world
– contact forces
– ID field forces
– Make vectors proportional in size
– Draw force vectors away from system (circle)
– Choose positive direction – usually in
direction of greatest force.
Forces as Vectors
• Determining net force
– Forces in same direction – add
– Forces in opposite direction – subtract
• Total is called net force
• Object moves in direction of largest
force
Forces as Vectors

against each other

GPS: Measure and calculate frictional
forces and Newton’s three laws of motion
EQ: How do net forces affect
acceleration?
Newton’s 1st Law: Law of Inertia
• Objects with no net force acting on them
will not change their motion
– Objects at rest will stay at rest
– Objects in motion will maintain that
motion – no acceleration will occur
• Forces are in equilibrium
• Resistance to change in motion is due to
inertia
Newton’s 1st Law: Law of Inertia
• Equilibrium: Objects at rest
– Net force on object = 0N
• Objects sitting on a surface
– WEIGHT pushes downward FORCE
– NORMAL force pushes upward
• A contact force applied by a surface
• Total normal is equal and opposite of weight
• Hanging objects
– Weight pulls down
– Tension pulls upward
• A contact force applied by a rope/string/cable
• Total tension is equal and opposite of weight
• An object at rest on a
surface
• An object at rest
hanging from a
surface
t =5N
t =5N
w = 1N
n = 1N
• w = weight
• n = normal force
w =10N
• t = tension
Newton’s 1st Law: Law of Inertia
• Mass is NOT volume
• Volume is the amount of space an object
occupies
• Which has more mass, a pillow or a car
battery?
– Car battery
• Which has more volume?
– Pillow
• Which has more inertia?
Newton’s 1st Law: Law of Inertia
• Mass is NOT weight
• Weight is a measure of the force of gravity
on an object
• Weight can change with gravity, mass
doesn’t
• Weight is a force – units are Newtons
• The more mass, the more weight – b/c
more material for gravity to act on
Dynamic Equilibrium
• Zero net force
• Nonzero constant velocity – NOT AT REST
• Which property allows objects to keep moving
at constant velocity?
»INERTIA
• Which force acts against dynamic
equilibrium?
»FRICTION
• Friction only comes into play when
there is motion between two surfaces
GPS: Measure and calculate frictional
forces and Newton’s three laws of motion
EQ: What is the relationship between
mass, force and acceleration?
Newton’s 1st Law: Law of Inertia
• Inertia is measured as mass
• Mass is the amount of material in an
object
• More mass, more inertia, more
resistance to change
• More massive objects are harder to
get moving and harder to stop
• Friction: A force between two surfaces
that ALWAYS OPPOSES motion
• Has to be acted against to get things
moving
• Has to be reduced to keep things moving
• Is always between two surfaces and
always makes a moving object slow down
• Friction converts moving energy to heat
– Causes surfaces to heat up
– Causes surfaces to wear down
Newton’s
nd
2
Law
• Changing Velocity – aka ACCELERATION
–Net force acting on a body causes
acceleration
• If velocity changes, there’s a net force
acting on it
• Any change in speed or direction
Newton’s 2nd Law
• The net force (Fnet) causing acceleration
can be calculated:
• Net Force = (mass) acceleration
• Fnet = ma
or
a = Fnet or
m
m = Fnet
a
Newton’s 2nd Law
• Fnet = ma
• 1kg ball to accelerate 10m/s2 requires 10N
of net force
• m = 1kg a = 10m/s2 Fnet = ? Fnet =ma
• Fnet = 1kg(10m/s2) Fnet = 10kg٠m/s2
• 1kg ٠m/s2 = 1N = unit of force
• Increasing mass requires a greater
net force to get the same
acceleration
• m = 1kg a = 10m/s2 Fnet = 10N
• m = 2kg
a = 10m/s2 Fnet = 20
N
• Mass doubled, net force needed doubled
• INERTIA doubled – more resistance
• Semi-Truck has much bigger engine than minicooper – bigger engine, more Force
• Increasing acceleration requires a
greater net force
• m = 1kg a = 10m/s2 Fnet = 10N
• m = 1kg
a = 20m/s2 Fnet = 20 N
• Acceleration doubled, net force
needed doubled
Mustang vs Mustang GT : Same mass
• GT accelerates faster – bigger engine
(V-8) – more force
• Maintaining net force on a greater mass
will result in LESS acceleration
• a = Fnet/m
• m = 1kg Fnet = 10N a = 10N/1kg = 10m/s2
• m = 2kg Fnet = 10 N a = 10N/2kg = 5m/s2
• Mass was doubled, acceleration cut in ½
• Mass cut in ½, acceleration doubled
• There is an inverse relationship between
“m” and “a”
• IF Fnet is not changed, ↑mass causes
↓acceleration
• IF Fnet is not changed, ↓ mass causes
↑ acceleration
• Camaro (↓ m) accelerates faster than Cadillac
SUV (↑m) with same 3.6L engine size (same
Fnet)

• WEIGHT = Fw = m(“a” due to gravity)
• On Earth “a” due to gravity = g = 10m/s2
Fw = mg
• If a 1kg ball hangs from a spring scale.
What is its weight?
• m = 1kgg = 10m/s2 Fw = ? Fw = mg
• Fw = 1kg(10m/s2) Fw = 10N

• Falling with AIR RESISTANCE (friction)
• Air resistance increases with speed
• Air resistance increases with greater
surface area
• Increased air resistance means increased
friction --- opposes motion
Terminal Velocity
• Air resistance ↑ = weight ↓
• 0 net force – falling body reaches constant
velocity
• 0 acceleration
• Why does body keep falling down?
INERTIA! -- resists change in motion
Newton’s 3rd Law
• Newton’s 3rd Law
• When one object exerts a force on
another, the second object exerts a force
equal and opposite direction on the first
object
• “ For every action there is an equal and
opposite reaction”
Newton’s 3rd Law
• Examples:
Newton’s 3rd Law
Newton’s 3rd Law
• If a horse pulls on a cart and the cart pulls
on the horse with equal and opposite
force, How does the cart ever move
forward?
• Remember: Motion depends on NET
FORCE acting on a body.
Newton’s 3rd Law
If a brick is dropped from a bridge into a valley. Earth
pulls on the rock.
Newton’s 3rd Law states the rock pulls on Earth with
equal and opposite force. Why don’t we see Earth’s
