Class 11: Force and Motion Basics

The document summarizes key concepts from a physics chapter on force and motion. It defines Newton's three laws of motion: (1) an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force, (2) F=ma, and (3) for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. It also discusses gravity, normal forces, friction, tension, and uses examples to illustrate Newton's third law. Students are assigned problems from the chapter.

Review
Newton's 1st law: If no force acts on a body, then
the body's velocity cannot change; that is, it cannot
accelerate.
1 Newton is that force required to accelerate our
standardized mass (1 Kg) at a rate of 1 m.s -2.
Mass is simply the characteristic of a body that relates
a force on the body to the resulting acceleration

Some particular forces
Gravity:

•During free fall a   g ĵ
 
 F  ma  mg ĵ
•Even when a mass is stationary on the surface of a table,
gravity still acts downwards with a magnitude equal to mg.
•This leads to the concept of a normal or contact force:
for the mass on the table to remain stationary, the table
must exert an upward force on the mass so as to exactly
balance the force due to gravity.
   Normal force
N  Fg  ma

N  Fg  ma y

N  ma y  Fg  m  a y  g 
N  Fg  mg if a y  0
Weight (a force!):
•In the above example, the internal forces within the table
supply the normal force, which is normal to the surface.
•If we hold the mass in a stationary state, we must supply
the force. This is the sensation of weight, i.e.
W  Fg  mg Newtons
Friction and tension
•We will deal with friction next week
(chapter 6). Friction is a force that
acts parallel to a surface in the
opposite direction to any motion.

•A taut cord is said to be in a state


of tension.
•If the body pulling on the cord does
so with a force of 50 N, then the
tension in the cord is 50 N.
•A taut cord pulls on objects at either end with equal and
opposite force equal to the tension.
•Cords are massless, pulleys are massless and frictionless
Newton's 3rd law
When two bodies interact, the forces on the bodies
from each other are always equal in magnitude and
opposite in direction.
For every "action" force, there is always an equal
and opposite "reaction" force; we call these a
"third-law force pair."
