Measurement of the Motion of Objects by Using a Computer Interface and Understanding of Newton s Law of Motion : Newton's law of motion will be understood through the measurement of the relation between the force, the mass, and the acceleration. The basic formulas describing the motion of an object in a straight line with a constant acceleration will also be understood. B. Measurement of the Characteristics of the Frictional Force by Using a Computer Interface : The characteristics of the frictional force will be understood through the measurement of the relation among the frictional force, the normal force, and the roughness of the contact surface. 2. Theory A. Measurement of the Motion of Objects by Using a Computer Interface and Understanding of Newton s Law of Motion (1) Introduction to Newton's equation of motion When the mass of an object is constant, the acceleration of the object increases as the force applied to the object increases. That is, the acceleration of the object is directly proportional to the force applied to the object as shown in Fig. 1. (Eq. 2) Fig. 2. The relation between acceleration and mass for a constant force. According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of the object is directly proportional to the force applied to the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object which can be summarized as follows: (Eq. 1) Fig. 1. The relation between acceleration and force for a constant mass. When the force applied to the object is constant, the acceleration of the object decreases as the mass of the object increases. That is, the acceleration of the object is inversely proportional to the mass of the object as shown in Fig. 2. (Eq. 3) By introducing the proportionality constant, the following result can be obtained., (Eq. 4) Now, let us define the force needed for the object with mass kg to move with the acceleration ms as kg ms. From this definition, so that the following result is obtained. (Eq. 5) The SI unit of the force kg ms is written briefly as N (newton). Since the force and the acceleration are vectors, the above relation can be rewritten as follows: (Eq. 6) This equation is called as Newton's equation of motion. When various forces are applied to the object, the net force should be used as follows: (Eq. 7)

PAGE 3/20 (2) Application of Newton's equation of motion 1) Acceleration of an object moving in a straight line with a constant acceleration Consider the case that an object A with the mass A on a horizontal plane is connected to a hanging object B with the mass B by a massless rope through Since the acceleration of the object is constant, the acceleration vs. time graph is given as shown in Fig. 4. a frictionless pulley as shown in Fig. 3. When the object B moves downward due to the gravitational force, let us assume that the length of the rope is constant and the pulley does not rotate. constant (Eq. 8) Fig. 4. Acceleration of an object moving in a straight line with a constant acceleration ( ). Fig. 3. Application of Newton's equation of motion. If the horizontal plane is frictionless, the gravitational force A, the normal force A and the tension A are applied to the object A, while the gravitational force B and the tension B are applied to the object B. If the length of the rope is constant, the tensions involved in Newton s third law of motion have the equal magnitude A B and the two object have the equal acceleration A B. Since the acceleration is a constant function of time, the acceleration vs. time graph has the form of the horizontal line located above the -axis. Since the acceleration of the object is constant, the force applied to the object is given as follows: constant (Eq. 9) That is, a constant force applied to an object makes the object move with a constant acceleration. 2) Velocity of an object moving in a straight line with a constant acceleration Since the velocity can be obtained by integrating the acceleration with respect to time, the velocity vs. time graph is given as shown in Fig. 5. Answer the following questions. 1. In this case, show that the acceleration A B and the tension A B are given as follows: B A B A, A B B (3) Object moving in a straight line with a constant acceleration Assume that an object moves in a straight line with a constant acceleration. (Eq. 10) The velocity of the object increases by a constant rate in the case of and the velocity of the object decreases by a constant rate in the case of. Let us consider the basic formulas describing the motion in the case of. Fig. 5. Velocity of an object moving in a straight line with a constant acceleration ( ).

PAGE 4/20 Since the velocity is a linear function of time, the velocity vs. time graph has the form of the upwardly rising straight line. In the velocity vs. time graph, the slope corresponds to the acceleration and the intercept passing across the -axis corresponds to the initial velocity at time. From (Eq. 10), the area of the acceleration vs. time graph corresponds to the velocity change which is a positive value. Formula? 3) Position of an object moving in a straight line with a constant acceleration Since the position can be obtained by integrating the velocity with respect to time, the position vs. time graph is given as shown in Fig. 6. In this table, the formula that has the velocity, acceleration, and position as variables is missing. That formula can be found by inserting obtained from the formula to the formula as follows:, (Eq. 13) (Eq. 11) B. Measurement of the Characteristics of the Frictional Force by Using a Computer Interface Fig. 6. Position of an object moving in a straight line with a constant acceleration ( ). Since the position is a quadratic function of time, the position vs. time graph has the form of the downwardly convex parabola. In the position vs. time graph, the slope corresponds to the velocity and the intercept passing across the -axis corresponds to the initial position at time. The increasing slope in the position vs. time graph means that the velocity is increasing. From (Eq. 11), the area of the velocity vs. time graph corresponds to the position change which has a positive value as follows:, (Eq. 12) In general, the position is not proportional to the square of time ( ). However, in the special case when the initial position and the initial velocity is zero (, ), the relation can be made. (1) Introduction to the frictional force From usual experience, it is well known that the minimum force needed for an object to move on a surface. Once the object starts to slide on the surface, the force needed to keep the speed of the object constant is less than the force needed to start the object to slide. The static frictional force and the kinetic frictional force were distinguished by Euler in 1784. The static frictional force opposes the object moving on the surface. If the object keeps stationary, the magnitude of the external force is equal to that of the static frictional force until the static frictional force arrives to its maximum value. If the magnitude of the external force is greater than that of the maximum static frictional force, the object starts to slide on the surface and the kinetic frictional force will be applied. When the object starts to slide on the surface, the friction decreases rapidly. In an actual situation with high speed, the kinetic frictional force is nearly constant with a slight decrease as the speed increases. In an actual situation with low speed, the friction is characterized by the combination of the static frictional force and the kinetic frictional force. 4) Summary of the basic formulas describing the motion of an object in a straight line with a constant acceleration Regarding the initial position and initial velocity as constants and checking if the velocity, acceleration, time, and position are used as variables in the basic formulas, they can be summarized as the following table. (2) Static frictional force Assume that the external force is applied to a stationary object lying on the surface with friction. If the object keeps stationary, the static frictional force is equal to the external force. (Eq. 14)

PAGE 5/20 If the external force continues to increase until the static frictional force arrives to its maximum value, the object starts to slide on the surface eventually. The maximum static frictional force represents the degree of contact between the object and the surface, and the degree of contact can be described by the normal force. The maximum static frictional force max is proportional to the normal force ( ), which can be written by introducing the proportionality constant as follows: max (Eq. 15) Here, the subscript means the static state of the object and with no unit is called as the coefficient of static friction. (iii) The horizontal line describing the kinetic frictional force implies that the kinetic frictional force is independent of the magnitude of the external force. In a theoretical situation, the kinetic frictional force is a constant without regard to the speed of the object. (5) Frictional force applied to the object lying on the horizontal plane Consider the case that the object with the mass lies on the horizontal plane as shown in Fig. 8. In this case, the gravitational force, the normal force, the external force, and the frictional force are applied to the object. (3) Kinetic frictional force Assume that the object starts to move on the surface due to the external force greater than the maximum static frictional force. If no external force is applied after the start of the motion, the object becomes slower to stop eventually due to the kinetic frictional force. Therefore, the external force equal to the kinetic frictional force is needed for the object to keep its speed constant. The kinetic frictional force is proportional to the normal force ( ), which can be written by introducing the proportionality constant as follows: (Eq. 16) Here, the subscript means the kinetic state of the object and with no unit is called as the coefficient of kinetic friction. Fig. 8. Frictional force applied to the object lying on the horizontal plane. (4) Properties of the frictional force 1) Case of the static state From the external force vs. the frictional force graph as shown in Fig. 7, the properties of the frictional force can be summarized as follows: In the case of the static state, the magnitude of the external force is equal to that of the static frictional force. Therefore, applying Newton s equation of motion, the following results about the net force are obtained.,, Form (Eq. 15), the maximum static frictional force max and the acceleration of the object are given as follows. max (Eq. 17) 2) Case of the kinetic state In the case of the kinetic state, the magnitude of the external force is greater than that of the kinetic frictional force. Therefore, applying Newton s Fig. 7. Relation between the external force and frictional force. (i) The straight line describing the static frictional force has the angle of, if the scales of horizontal and vertical axes are equal. equation of motion, the following results about the net force are obtained., Form (Eq. 16), the kinetic frictional force and the acceleration of the object (ii) Since the maximum static frictional force is greater than the kinetic frictional force ( max ), the coefficient of static friction is greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction ( ). are given as follows. (Eq. 18)

PAGE 6/20 (i) (Eq. 17) and (Eq. 18) imply that the frictional force is independent of the area of the contact surface. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction representing the roughness of the contact surface are independent of the area of the contact surface also. (ii) As the roughness of the contact surface decreases, the coefficient of static and kinetic friction decreases. However, if the contact surface is ground to the level of atoms or molecules, the object adheres to the contact surface. This phenomena is called as cold welding unlike welding which requires much heat. Answer the following questions. 2. Investigate other procedures measuring the coefficients of static and kinetic friction.
