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.

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.

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.
