Physics 2211: Matter and InteractionsChapter 4: Contact Interactions
What was particularly confusing or difficult? I don't really understand Young's modulus at all, and I
don't understand what its significance is. The way the book explains how to calculate the length of an inter-atomic bond
is kind of complicated and confusing. I hope Dr. Greco goes over this in lecture. CHALLANGE ACCEPTED
I would like more explanation on the idea of stress and strain Applications of Young's modulus and when it ceases to be
relevant/useful. It was hard to grasp the last section on compression forces. In the example, a
brick sitting on a table compresses the atoms of the table, but this is hard to picture in real life.
Nothing was too difficult understand, I just felt that the book was jumping from one topic to another. Are we just surveying all forces? How does it all relate to our goal in the class?
I've learned about Young's Modulus and stress and strain, but I never learned it through the idea of atoms.

Everyday solids are made up of millions and millions of atoms (balls and springs) At room temperature the
atoms are in motion in the form of lattice vibrations.
The cubic lattice of a solid is not very stable but gives good approximations.

determined that the larger the mass the great the tension in the wire

Physics 2211: Matter and InteractionsChapter 4: interatomic bond strength
Hooke's Law requires information about: The rest length of the spring The spring stiffness
At this level we do not possess thetools to microscopically measure thestrength of an individual bond betweentwo atoms Instead, we need a way to relate a
macroscopic measurement of how asolid responds to deformation to themicroscopic quantity (bond strength)
This will require a method fordetermining how springs worktogether in a group

Springs in Series (end-to-end) If we hang a weight from one spring the spring constant is found from
the momentum principle

Now that we know how springs work together we are prepared to combine our addition rules with the cubic lattice model
This will relate the macroscopic spring stiffness in a solid to the microscopic spring stiffness (bond strength)

How many of these chains are there in a wire? The same as the number of atoms on the bottoms surface of
the wire The number of atoms is found by looking at the cross-
sectional area; the area of a flat slice of the wire

This is Amazing! By making macroscopic measurements of a solid and applying the ball and spring model, we can determine the bond strength between two atoms - a microscopic quantity From this relationship we can see how a change in the
shape of a wire will affect the macroscopic spring stiffness
A long wire is softer than a short wire A fat wire is more stiff than a skinny wire Demo time
The microscopic result should be true regardless of: the cross sectional area of the wire, the length of the wire, the size of the weight used to stretch the wire

Physics 2211: Matter and InteractionsChapter 4: Compression
Compression Forces (Contact Forces) Contact forces only apply to points of contact between system
and surroundings Contact forces can push (compression) or pull (tension)
How does the metal table exert a force on the brink?
Physics 2211: Matter and InteractionsChapter 4: Compression

Physics 2211: Matter and InteractionsChapter 4: Friction
Two solids in contact and moving against each other feel a friction forces resisting this movement This is directly related to the compression force If we apply a force to a brick laying on
a table, the brick will run into anuncompressed part of the table
This force is parallel to the tableand called the frictional force
All of this compressing and decompressingof the bonds imparts energy into the table
It heats up! We call friction a dissipative process
Physics 2211: Matter and InteractionsChapter 4: Friction
Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519): The first person to qualitatively study the problem of friction He focused on all kinds of friction
and drew a distinction betweensliding, static and rolling friction
is the coefficient of friction and willhave a different value for static/kinetic
FN is the normal force or the force
compressing the two surface together
f sliding=k F N
f static s F N
Physics 2211: Matter and InteractionsChapter 4: Friction
Some useful properties of friction1.The force of friction is proportional to the compression force2.The force of friction is independent of the area of contact3.The force of friction is independent of the sliding velocity
4.The static friction force can have any value < F5.The friction force depends on the direction of motion,
making friction a non-conservative force

When we considered the stretch or compression of a solid we assumed that the change in shape was uniform and instantaneous. In reality, this change is not instantaneous
We call the speed with which the propagation travelsthe speed of sound
Physics 2211: Matter and InteractionsChapter 4: Speed of Sound
