Chapter 4 Newton s Second Law: in vector form Newton s Laws of Motion σ റF = m റa in component form σ F x = ma x σ F y = ma y in equilibrium and static situations a x = 0; a y = 0 Strategy for Solving Newton s Law Problems Isolate the bodies in a system. Analyze all the forces acting on each body and draw one free-body diagram for each body. Based on the free-body diagram, set up a most convenient x-y coordinate system. Break each force into components using this coordinates. For each body, sum up all the x-components of the forces to an equation: σ F x = ma x. For each body, sum up all the y-components of the forces to an equation: σ F y = ma y. Use these equations to solve for unknown quantities.

Gravitation and Circular Satellite Orbit If a satellite is in a circular orbit with speed v orbit, the gravitational force provides the centripetal force needed to keep it moving in a circular path. The orbital speed of a satellite G mm E r 2 = F g = F rad = m v2 r v orbit = Gm E r The period of a satellite v = 2πr T T = 2πr v = 2πr r Gm E = 2πr3/2 Gm E
6.4 Weight and Gravitation Acceleration near the surface of the Earth The weight of an object near the surface of the earth is: With this we find that the acceleration due to gravity near the earth's surface is:
Example: Problem 7, Exam II, Fall 2016 (a) A satellite of mass 80.0 kg is in a circular orbit around a spherical planet Q of radius 3.00 10 6 m. The satellite has a speed 5000 m/s in an orbit of radius 8.00 10 6 m. What is the mass of the planet Q? (b) Imagine that you release a small rock from rest at a distance of 20.0 m above the surface of the planet. What is the speed of the rock just before it reaches the surface? Given: About the satellite (m s = 80.0 kg, r orbit = 8.00 10 6 m, v = 5000 m/s) About the planet Q(R Q = 3.00 10 6 m) Find: (a) The mass of the planet Q (m Q ) (b) Speed of a rock after falling h = 20.0 m. (a) G m s m Q v r 2 = F g = F rad = m 2 s orbit r orbit m Q = r orbitv 2 G (b) First, find the gravitational acceleration g Q near the surface of the planet Q. R Q r orbit x m s g Q = G m s m Q R Q 2 g Q = G m Q R Q 2 Then, apply the kinematic equation v 2 2 = v 1 2 + 2g Q h to find v 2 with v 1 = 0.
More generally, work is the product of the component of the force in the direction of displacement and the magnitude s of the displacement. Forces applied at angles must be resolved into components. W is a scalar quantity that can be positive, zero, or negative. If W > 0 (W < 0), energy is added to (taken from) the system. Equivalent Representations: W = F s = F cos s = F s cos = Fs
Example 7.2 on Page 186: Sliding on a Ramp Package of mass m slides down a frictionless incline of height h and angle b. Find: The total work done by all the relevant forces. Work done by the gravity force (the weight): Component of the weight parallel to displacement = mgsinb. Work done: (mgsinb)s = mg[s(sinb)] = mgh Work done by the normal force = 0 since the component of the normal force parallel to displacement = 0 Total work done by all the relevant forces = mgh
y x Applications of Force and Resultant Work
What if the net amount of work done on an object is not zero? The work-energy theorem: 7.3 Work and Kinetic Energy The kinetic energy K of a particle with mass m moving with speed v is K = 1 2 mv2. It is the energy related to the motion of the particle. During any displacement of the particle, the net amount of work done by all the external force on the particle is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. Although the kinetic energy K is always positive, W total may be positive, negative, or zero (energy added to, taken away, or left the same, respectively). If W total = 0, then the kinetic energy does not change and the speed of the particle remains constant.
Examples of Force and Potential Energy Force Type Work Done by the Force (i f ) Potential Energy Gravity F g = mg W = mgy i mgy f = U i U f U grav = mgy Spring (elastic) F spring = kx W = 1 2 kx i 2 1 2 kx f 2 = U i U f U el = 1 2 kx2
7.6 Conservation of Energy For a conservative force, the work done is related to the change in the potential energy: W = U i U f. Apply the work-energy theorem, we obtain: U i U f = K f K i or U i + K i = U f + K f. The expression in red is the conservation of energy, when the force is a conservative force. The total mechanical energy E is the sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy: E = U + K
Useful Expressions for Applications With gravity force: E = U grav + K = mgy + 1 2 mv2 Conservation of energy: mgy i + 1 mv 2 i 2 = mgy f + 1 mv 2 f 2 With spring force: Conservation of energy: With both g&s forces: E = U el + K = 1 2 kx2 + 1 2 mv2 1 kx 2 i 2 + 1 mv 2 i 2 = 1 kx 2 f 2 + 1 mv 2 f 2 E = U grav + U el + K = mgy + 1 2 ky2 + 1 2 mv2 Conservation of energy: mgy i + 1 2 ky i 2 + 1 2 mv i 2 = mgy f + 1 2 ky f 2 + 1 2 mv f 2
When both conservative and nonconservative forces act on an object (U grav,i + U el,i + 1 2 mv i 2 ) + W other = (U grav,f +U el,f + 1 2 mv f 2 )
8.2 Conservation of Momentum Consider a system consisting of a number of particles (A, B, ) External Forces: Forces acting on objects in the system by objects outside the system. Net External Force: the sum of the external forces. Internal Forces: Forces acting on particles in the system by particles in the system. Net Internal Force: the sum of the internal forces, which must be zero. Conservation of Momentum: If the net external force is zero, the momentum of the system is conserved: In the component form: Examples 8.3 and 8.4 on page 226 Example 8.5 on page 227 റp A,i + റp B,i + = റp A,f + റp B,f +. p A,i.x + p B,i,x + = p A,f,x + p B,f,x + p A,i,y + p B,i,y + = p A,f,y + p B,f,y +
8.3 Inelastic Collision Momentum is conserved but not the Kinetic Energy Completely inelastic collision along a straight line: m A v A,i,x + m B v B,i,x = (m A + m B )v f,x 8.4 Elastic Collision Both the Momentum and the Kinetic Energy are conserved Consider the elastic collision of two particles along a straight line. Conservation of Momentum: Conservation of Kinetic Energy: m A v A,i + m B v B,i = m A v A,f + m B v B,f 1 m 2 Av 2 A,i + 1 m 2 Bv 2 B,i = 1 m 2 Av 2 A,i + 1 m 2 2 Bv B,i
8.5 Impulse When a constant force റF acts on an object over a period of time t, the impulse of the force is റJ = റF t f t i = റF t If the force is not a constant, then റJ = റF avg t Since we have റF avg = m റa avg = m v = റp t റJ = റp = റp f റp i t,
