Following Slides Just for Fun May the Force be with you young Physics Student

Slide 7

Historical Perspective Aristotle: Motion into 2 categories, Natural and Violent Natural: Objects seek their natural motion. Either up or down. A ball comes to rest because it is its natural motion. Violent: Imposed motion, via force. Responsible for things moving against The earths natural motion: Not moving, no force big enough to move it.

Slide 8

Galileo and Copernicus Copernicus said that the Earth revolved around the sun (Contrary to Aristotle who thought the Earth was too big to move) Galileo countered that it doesnt take a force for an object to keep moving Changed the notion that it takes a force to keep something moving

Slide 9

Galileo Galileo: College prof Galileo, not really aware of politics, first in Venice. One of his Benefactors, a cardinal, good friend who gave lots of money, become pope. Galileo writes his book about Aristotle verse Galileo. Different than normal science books, written like a play. 3 main characters, Simplisico (Greek), Salvatory (Galileo), and Segacio (Impartial judge). Debate. Ultimate problem, the pope had a preference to the greek way. Galileo discovered new things. So into Simplisicos mouth, he doesnt speek well, argument not well constructed, his name means simple (Idiot or moron). Idiot says! Sage, the wisemen is won over to salvatory. Salvatory does a good job with argument. So idio says what pope thinks, and hero says what Galileo thinks. Galileo gets in trouble for mocking pope. They were friends, and Galileo makes fun of pope. Pope asks him not to publish it, Galileo does it anyway. Gets put under house arrest after inquisition, doesnt really matter, Galileo is old!

Slide 11

Terminology Force: Any push or Pull Net Force: Combination of all forces acting on object. If not zero the object will change speed Friction: Force that acts between objects as they move past each other. Tension/Compression: Pulling apart of atoms or pushing together of atoms

Slide 12

Tensionional vs Compressional Tension is going to test the strength of the atoms to hold onto one another by being pulled apart Compression is going to test the ability of the atoms to compress together (form a closer bond) without sliding past one another (too close and repulsion gets too big leading to break)

Slide 13

Isaac Newton Three Laws he discovered 1 st Law: Every object continues in a state of rest, or of motion in a straight line at a constant speed, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces exerted upon it. Law of Inertia

Slide 14

1 st Law Unless acted upon by an unbalanced force, this golf ball would sit on the tee forever.

Slide 15

Newtonss 1 st Law and You Dont let this be you. Wear seat belts. Because of inertia, objects (including you) resist changes in their motion. When the car going 80 km/hour is stopped by the brick wall, your body keeps moving at 80 km/hour.

Slide 16

Isaac Newton 2 nd Law: Forces cause acceleration The net force of an object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration, or F=ma. Only forces which act on that object affect the acceleration of the object.

Slide 17

Newtons 2 nd Law shows that different masses accelerate to the earth at the same rate, but with different forces. We know that objects with different masses accelerate to the ground at the same rate. However, because of the 2 nd Law we know that they dont hit the ground with the same force. F = ma 98 N = 10 kg x 9.8 m/s/s F = ma 9.8 N = 1 kg x 9.8 m/s/s

Slide 18

If mass remains constant, doubling the acceleration, doubles the force. If force remains constant, doubling the mass, halves the acceleration.

Slide 19

Isaac Newton 3 rd Law For every force, there is an equal and opposite force Only true in certain situations

Slide 20

Examples of Newtons Third Law The baseball forces the bat to the left (an action); the bat forces the ball to the right (the reaction).

Slide 21

3 rd Law Consider the motion of a car on the way to school. A car is equipped with wheels which spin backwards. As the wheels spin backwards, they grip the road and push the road backwards.

Slide 22

3 rd Law The reaction of a rocket is an application of the third law of motion. Various fuels are burned in the engine, producing hot gases. The hot gases push against the inside tube of the rocket and escape out the bottom of the tube. As the gases move downward, the rocket moves in the opposite direction.

Slide 23

3 rd Law Only applicable if objects act on each other If objects act on an intermediate object, forces do not have to be balanced Tug of War: Force on rope not balanced on each side

Slide 24

Mass vs Weight Mass is how much matter you have Your mass does not change when you change location Weight is a measurement of the forces acting on you Your weight can change when you change location

Slide 25

Weightlessness Apparent weight is the weight you actually feel In an elevator that is accelerating, your apparent weight changes When you accelerate against gravity, you feel heavier When you accelerate with gravity, you feel lighter On different surfaces, your weight changes Weigh yourself on carpet vs hardwood vs cushion

Slide 26

Forces Present Four major Forces to be aware of that act in this world (from strongest to weakest) 1) The Strong Nuclear Force: Holds the nucleus of atoms together. Small range (nucleus). Only effective at ranges less than 1 - 15 meters. Without this force, the electromagnetic forces between the protons would not allow for the nucleus to exist at all.

Slide 27

Forces Present 2) Electromagnetic: Causes attraction or repulsion, depending on charge of objects. This force is roughly 1 40 times stronger than gravity. This force has infinite range

Slide 28

Forces Present 3) The Weak Nuclear Force: Is responsible for nuclear decay. This force, with a slightly small range of 1 -17 meters, cause emissions to occur from the nucleus.

Slide 29

Forces Present 4) Gravity: Very weak force, but like electromagnetic, it works over infinite distances. The only difference is it can only attract, not repel like the previous.

Slide 30

Long Range Forces Electromagnetic and Gravity are long range forces, they exert their force over the entire universe. The objects do not need to be in contact for the force to exist Example: Objects falling to earth Electrons being repelled by one another

Slide 31

Contact Forces When objects are in direct contact with one another (again, this is kind of weird because the objects really dont touch), that is a contact force Pushing a wheelbarrow Skidding/sliding on a surface and slowing down due to friction (a contact force)

Slide 32

Friction A contact force which always opposes the motion of the object. Friction can be caused by gravity (object is being pulled to earth and that causes the objects to rub past one another) or by two objects being forced past one another At the molecular level, friction is an electromagnetic force

Slide 33

Normal Force This is the force which acts perpendicular to the weight of the object and supports the weight of the object Normal Force: Normal means at right angles to.

Slide 34

How Large? On a flat surface, the Normal force is equal to the weight of the object Weight = mg (mass x gravity) A person who has a mass of 50 kg has a weight (on earth) of 490 N

Slide 35

Question Check What is the effect of friction on a moving object? Slows motion, always opposes the direction of motion Galileo found that a ball rolling down one incline will pick up enough speed to roll up another. How high up will it roll compared to the initial incline?

Slide 36

Question Check The law of inertia states that no force is required to maintain motion. Why then do you have to keep pedaling a bike to keep it going? Friction What is the weight of 2.0 kg of yogurt? 19.6 N

Slide 37

Question Check An elephant and a mouse would both have zero weight in gravity-free space. If they were moving toward you with the same speed, would they bump into you with the same effect? Explain No, the elephant has much more inertia

Slide 38

Question Check A massive ball is suspended on a string and slowly pulled by another string attached to it from below

Slide 39

Question Check Is the string tension greater in the upper or the lower string? Which string is more likely to break if pulled slowly from below? What if the string on the bottom is snapped quickly (pulled quickly)?

Slide 40

Friction in Greater Detail Coefficient of Static Friction: Us Us How hard is it to slide the object past another (how much force) starting from rest? It is a % of the total weight of the object Us(N)=F(static) N is weight of object, Us is some number usually between 0 and 1, but numbers as high as 5 are seen in drag racing

Slide 41

Coefficient of Static Friction This value corresponds to the atoms falling into grooves with one another, and the force required to pull them past one another A small Us value is associated with objects that slide easily from rest (object on Ice) to very large values (examples will vary based off two surfaces in contact)

Slide 42

Question An object with a mass of 15 kg is resting on a table top. If it takes 22 N to get the object to start moving, what is the value of Us between the table top and the object? If I place another 15 kg mass on top of the object, will the force required to start the object increase? Will the Us value change?

Slide 43

Coefficient of Kinetic Friction When an object is moving (Relative to the surface that it is in contact with) the friction is said to be Kinetic. This value is generally much smaller than the Static Friction value because the molecules jump from mountain to mountain

Slide 44

Practice Questions An object has a weight of 88 N and has a Us value of 0.3. What force is required to start moving the object (from rest) along the surface (pushing horizontally)? That object has another object placed on top, what happens to the Us value? Static Friction value

Slide 45

Practice Questions An object at rest has a weight of 800 N and requires 200 N of horizontal push to overcome static friction. What is the Us Value between the object and the floor? If the Uk value is half the value of the Us, what acceleration does the object undergo when it starts to move?

Slide 46

Uk In the same token, Uk(N) = Kinetic Friction Question: An object that has a weight of 50 N has a Us value of 0.20 and a Uk value of 0.10. The object is at rest on a table. AA) How much force is required to start moving the Object? BB) What is the net force acting on the object as soon as it starts moving?

Slide 47

Question An elevator with mass of 1200 kg is supported by a cable. If three people enter the elevator with a total mass of 190 kg, what is the tension in the cable in N?
