2 Chapter 5 Applications of Newton s Laws To draw free-body diagrams and analyzing forces on individual objects. To solve for unknown quantities using Newton's 2 nd law. To understand kinetic and static friction forces acting on an object. To use Hooke's law to relate the restoring force of a spring to the amount of stretching or compression of a spring.

4 Newton s Second Law: in vector form 5.2 Applications of Newton s Second Law σ റF = m റa in component form σ F x = ma x σ F y = ma y Strategy for Solving Newton s Law Problems A Review of Problem-Solving Strategy Isolate the bodies in a system. Analyze all the forces acting on each body and draw one free-body diagram for each body. Apply Newton s Third Law to identify action-reaction force pairs. Based on the free-body diagram, set up a most convenient x-y coordinate system. Break each force into components using this coordinate system. For each body, sum up all the x-components of the forces to an equation: σ F x = ma x. For each body, sum up all the y-components of the forces to an equation: σ F y = ma y. Use these equations to solve for unknown quantities.

5 5.3 Contact Force and Friction Friction force exits at the contact surfaces of two objects. There are two regions of friction: when an object is sliding with respect to another kinetic-friction force when there is no relative motion static-friction force Kinetic Friction Force f k Magnitude: It is directly related to the normal force. f k = μ k n μ k : coefficient of kinetic friction Direction: Parallel to the contact surface Opposite to the direction of relative motion A box being pushed on a table surface force n force റf റF W Static Friction Force f s Magnitude: It depends. It is not fixed. Maximum value f s,max = μ s n μ s : coefficient of static friction Direction: Parallel to the contact surface Opposed to the tendency to change the state of motion
