Dynamics Review Outline 2.1.1-C Newton s Laws of Motion 2.1 Contact Forces First Law (Inertia) objects tend to remain in their current state of motion (at rest of moving at a constant velocity) until acted upon by a net force o Inertia is proportional to mass and is NOT affected by speed 10 kilogram object at rest has more inertia than a 2 kilogram object moving at 20 meters per second. cceleration due to gravity can be determined by looking at the slope of a graph of mass vs. weight. m Slope = g Second Law acceleration is proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass 5.0 kilogram object that is subjected to a net force of 20 newtons will accelerate at a rate of 4.0 meters per second 2. 2.1.2-C Forces on ngles (Top/Down) The resultant to a set of vectors is determined graphically by adding the vectors using the head-to-tail method. Third Law for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. If a person pushes on an object with a force of 25 newtons then the object pushes back with a force of 25 newtons. 2.1.1D Mass and Weight Mass is universal (object has the same mass independent of its location). R and can be added by drawing or (or both) and drawing resultant R. When vectors are perpendicular the resultant can be found using the Pythagorean Theorem. R 2 + 2 = R 2 10 kilogram object has a mass of 10 kilogram on Earth, in orbit and on the Moon. Weight is a gravitational force that depends on location. 10 kilogram object weighs about 100 newtons on Earth and about 17 newtons on the Moon. Vectors can be broken into components that are perpendicular to one another. The resultant to a set of vectors is determined algebraically by adding the components of the vectors and using the Pythagorean Theorem on the resultant components. Equilibrium is a state in which the net force on a system is zero.
o o n equilibrant is a vector that when added to a system produces a state equilibrium within that system. The equilibrant is equal in magnitude to the resultant, but opposite in direction. 2.1.2D Forces on ngles (Side-view) When objects are pulled or pushed along surfaces using forces at angles to the surface then acceleration does not depend on the force itself, but the components of it. Pulling on an upward angle reduces the normal force. 3 N R = 4.2 N E = 4.2 N 3 N dding these two perpendicular 3 N vectors gives a resultant of R = 4.2 N that points northeast. Thus the equilibrant is also 4.2 N in magnitude, but points southwest. Pushing on a downward angle increases the normal force. = -50N F N = +50N The maximum resultant produced by two vectors is obtained by aiming them with 0 between them. Max resultant (and equilibrant) will be +. The minimum resultant produced by two vectors is obtained by aiming them with 180 between them. Min resultant (and equilibrant)will be -. ny resultant (and equilibrant) between + and can be produced! 5 kilogram mass has a weight of about -50 N, so the normal force will be +50 N if it is in equilibrium. F N = +45N F Y = +5N = -50N 10 N force at above horizontal would have an upward component of +5 N, thus reducing the requirement for the normal force to +45 N. F N = +55N F Y = -5N = -50N 10 N force at below horizontal would have an downward component of -5 N, thus increasing the requirement for the normal force to +55 N. 10 newton vector and a 7 newton vector can be added together to produce any resultant between 3 N and 17 N (it just depends on what angle you choose to have between them). It is therefore true that any vector between 3 N and 17 N could be added this system to produce equilibrium. Note that F N + F Y + must be equal to 0. Note that F N + F Y + must be equal to 0.
2.1.3- Pulling on an angle also changes the net force. The net force in side-view systems depends only on the sum of horizontal forces. F N = +45N F Y = +5N = -50N Friction F X = +8.7N F N = +55N F Y = -5N = -50N In both cases the horizontal component of F is +8.7 N. If there is no friction in either system, then the net force IS 8.7 N. We can then say that both objects will accelerate at a rate of 8.7 N / 5.0 kg or 1.7 meters per second 2. Friction is a force that attempts to keep objects from moving. It is the result of electrical attraction between surfaces and can be reduced by lubrication. Static friction is the force that must be overcome to make an object slide. This type of friction should be used in LL problems where there is NO SLIDING. Kinetic friction is the force that acts in opposition to the motion of a sliding object. This type of friction should be used ONLY in problems in which objects are SLIDING. Coefficient of friction tells about the relative stickiness that two surfaces have when in contact with each other this a dimensionless quantity (has no units.) If a 20 newton block of wood is placed on a wooden surface then the normal force between the block and surface is 20 newtons. It will take slightly more than 8.4 newtons of force to get the block to begin sliding along the surface. Once the block begins to move, the force of friction will immediately drop to 6 newtons. F X = +8.7N 15 newton block of rubber that is sliding along an ice-covered surface will require 2.25 newtons of force to be constantly applied to keep it moving at a constant velocity. If a force of 10.25 newtons were applied to the same block the result would be a net force of 8.0 newtons and an acceleration of 0.53 meters per second 2. If 40 newtons of force is required to make a 3.0 kilogram object accelerate along a surface at a rate of 5.0 meters per second 2, then the net force on the object is 15 newtons and we can conclude that there must be a 25 newton force of kinetic friction acting on the object. The kinetic coefficient of friction in this case must be about 0.85 (arrived at using F f = μf N where F N = 3.0 kg * 9.81 m/s 2.) If a 20 newton force of friction is acting on a 4.0 kilogram object that is accelerating at a rate of 3.5 meters per second 2 then we must conclude that there is a 34 newton force pushing on the object. 2.1.4- Inclined Planes When an object is placed on an incline its weight will point partially LONG the plane and partially INTO the plane. reaking the weight into components will cause all forces to be referred to in reference to the plane either parallel or perpendicular to it. The normal force will be equal to the perpendicular component of weight. Whether or not the object slides along the plane (and its direction) depends on the sum of the forces directed along the plane. = 80N F N = Since the box weighs 80 newtons, there are 69 newtons of force directed into the plane this means the normal force is 69 newtons. If the surface of the plane is frictionless then the net force is 40 newtons.
2.2 uxiliary Forces F f F N = 2.2.1- Universal Gravitation G = 6.67 x 10-11 N m 2 /kg 2 If the block slides down at a constant speed, then the force of friction must be 40 newtons. Gravity is a force that attracts objects with mass to one another. The force of gravity between two objects is directly proportional to the masses of each object. = 80N 20 kilogram object on Earth has a weight of 196.2 newtons. F f F N = If the force of friction is 30 newtons then a net force of 10 newtons is causing the block to accelerate down the plane. m n object with twice the mass would have twice the weight. The same object on the Moon would have the same mass, but a weight of 32.4 newtons (because g on the Moon is 1.62 m/s 2.) = 80N F F N = The force of gravity between two objects is inversely proportional to the distance between the CENTERS of the objects. F f If the block is being pulled up the plane at a constant speed and the force of friction is 15 newtons, then force F must be 55 newtons. The force of gravity acting between two objects with masses of 3000 kilograms that are separated by 2 x 10-2 meter is 150 newtons. = 80N r If the distance between the objects is doubled, the force becomes 37.5 newtons.(1/4 th as great) If the distance between them is cut to 1/3 rd of its original value the force becomes 1350 newtons. (9x greater)
2.2.2-C Uniform Circular Motion Objects in circular motion are being pulled into a circular path by centripetal force this is an unbalanced, net force that causes centripetal acceleration. o oth centripetal force and centripetal acceleration must point toward the center of the object s circular path of travel. o The velocity of the object will be tangent to its circular path n object that is moving around a circular path with a radius of 10 meters while moving at a speed of 4.0 meters per second will have a centripetal acceleration of 1.6 meters per second 2. 5.0 kilogram object that is moving around a circular path with a speed of 6.0 meters per second will be subjected to a centripetal force of 60 newtons if the path has a radius of 3.0 meters and 45 newtons if the path has a radius of 4.0 meters. The force needed to bend the path of an object depends on: o How massive the object is (m) o The object s centripetal acceleration ( ) When a car (or other object) makes a turn on a flat surface it is STTIC friction between the object and surface that allows the turn to occur. The object s centripetal acceleration depends on: o How much speed the object has (v) o How tight the turn needs to be (r) The maximum turning speed on a 30 meter radius turn for a 1500 kilogram car with rubber tires on asphalt is 15.8 meters per second. v F C The minimum radius with which a 70 kilogram bike could make a 12 meter per second turn with rubber tires on asphalt is 17 meters. F C m v The minimum coefficient of friction needed for a 1000 kilogram vehicle to make a safe turn with a 10 meter per second radius while moving at 5.0 meters per second is 0.25 F C r n object that makes one complete trip around a path with a circumference of 4.0 meters every 0.5 seconds has an average speed of 8.0 meters per second. n object that moves around a circular path with a radius of 5.0 meters at a speed of 20 meters per second will take about 1.6 seconds to make one complete trip around the circle.
2.2.3 Hooke s Law Force is required to change the length (compress or elongate) of a spring. The change in the spring s length will be: o Directly proportional to force applied (F S ) o Inversely proportional to the spring constant of the spring (k) force of 200 newtons will cause a spring with a spring constant of 5000 newtons per meter to stretch a distance of 4 centimeters. F S The slope of the graph of F S vs. x is the spring constant of the spring. x
