Diagrams of Forces We can draw pictures to aid our reasoning. This is always a good idea. The process will be to identify a system of interest. omething we want to study. We will make a mathematical model of it. Everything that is not part of the system, but interacts with it, is part of the environment. We do not describe the environment mathematically.

Once the forces are drawn, we resolve each force into components. At this point, plied to each coordinate direction separately. PROBLEM-OLVING NOTE External Forces External forces acting on an object fall into two main classes: (i) Forces at the This is a physical picture, but point nowof contact we consider with another object, the and forces that act (ii) forces exerted by an external agent, on the system (chair) from thesuch environment as gravity.

Force Diagrams, Newton s econd Law, and Kinematics An astronaut uses a jet pack to push on a 655-kg satellite. If the satellite starts at rest and moves 0.675 m after 5.00 seconds of pushing, what is the force, F, exerted on it by the astronaut?

Newton s econd Law Implications Quick Quiz 5.3. 1 You push an object, initially at rest, across a frictionless floor with a constant force for a time interval t, resulting in a final speed of v for the object. You then repeat the experiment, but with a force that is twice as large. What time interval is now required to reach the same final speed v? A 4 t B 2 t C t 2 D t 4 4 &J page 116.
Example Three forces on a mass. Find the acceleration of the object. Write it as a vector and write out the x- and y-components.
Newton s Third Law Newton s Third Law is commonly stated as For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. However it is more precisely stated: Newton III If two objects (1 and 2) interact the force that object 1 exerts on object 2 is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force that object 2 exerts on object 1. F 1 2 = F 2 1
Newton s Third Law Main idea: you cannot push on something, without having it push back on you. If object 1 pushes on (or interacts with) object 2, then the force that object 1 exerts on object 2, and the force that object 2 exerts on object 1 form an action reaction pair.

Action and Reaction Why when we fire a cannon does the cannon ball move much faster forward than the cannon does backwards? Why when we drop an object does it race downwards much faster than the Earth comes up to meet it?
Action and Reaction Why when we fire a cannon does the cannon ball move much faster forward than the cannon does backwards? Why when we drop an object does it race downwards much faster than the Earth comes up to meet it? The masses of each object are very different! From Newton s second law a = F m If m is smaller, a is bigger. If m is very, very big (like the Earth), the acceleration is incredibly small.
