Forces are Vectors A downward force F 1 elongates the spring 1.00 cm. A downward force F 2 elongates the spring 2.00 cm. When F 1 and F 2 are applied together in the same direction, the spring elongates by 3.00 cm. When F 1 is downward and F 2 is horizontal, the combination of the two forces elongates the spring by 2.24 cm. 0 1 2 3 4 0 1 2 3 4 0 1 2 3 4 0 1 2 3 4 F 1 u F 2 F a F 1 b F 2 c F 1 F 2 d Figure 5.2 of a force is t scale. and its direction is u 5 tan 21 (20.500) 5 226.6. Because forces have been experimentally verified to behave as vectors, you must use the rules of vector addition to obtain the net force on an object.

Newton s First Law Newton I (as commonly stated) In an inertia reference frame, an object in motion tends to stay in motion (with constant velocity) and an object at rest tends to stay at rest, unless acted upon by a nonzero net force. Newton I (textbook version) If an object does not interact with other objects, it is possible to identify a reference frame in which the object has zero acceleration. A zero-acceration reference frame is called an inertial reference frame. An object for these purposes is something with mass.
Newton s First Law This does not really correspond with our expectation from daily life. In our everyday environment, everything seems to naturally slow to a stop. 0 Figure from JPL.

Newton s econd Law The really important one. Newton II In an inertial reference frame, the sum of the forces (net force) on an object is equal to the mass of the object times its acceleration: F net = m a F net = i F i where F i are individual separate forces that we sum to get the net force.
Newton s econd Law F net = m a Acceleration is directly proportional to the net force and in the same direction. The constant of proportionality is the mass, m. F net a Alternatively, given a net force, the magnitude of the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of the object. a 1 m This expression assumes the mass of the object is constant!
Units of Force Newton s second law gives us units for force. F net = ma Newtons, N = (kg) (ms 2 ) 1N = 1 kg m s 2 : on Earth s surface there are roughly 10 N of weight per kg of mass. Why?
