• Newton’s Law of Motion
Kinematics vs Dynamics
Dynamics
is the branch of classical mechanics that is concerned
with the study of forces and their effects on motion.
What is Force?
• A force is a push or a pull
• It is an interaction between two bodies or between a body
and its environment
• A force is a vector quantity
• A force is either a contact of non-contact force
!
• SI unit of force is 1 Newton (N) which is equal to 1 𝑘𝑔 % !

Kind of Forces
Weight

Is the force exerted on a


mass by gravity.

The symbol for weight is w.

𝑤 = 𝑚𝑔
Gravity on Different Planets
PLANET Gravity
Mercury 3.59 !⁄"!
Venus 8.87 !⁄"!
Mars 3.77 !⁄"!
Jupiter 25.95 !⁄"!
Saturn 11.08 !⁄"!
Uranus 10.67 !⁄"!
Neptune 14.07 !⁄"!
Moon 1.62 !⁄"!
Tension Force
When a string or a rope
pulls on an object, it exerts
a contact force on it.

This is called the tension


force, represented by a T.
Spring Force
these are forces exerted by springs. A spring can either push
(when compressed) or pull (when stretched). "Hooke's Law“
state that the magnitude of the force is directly proportional
to the amount of stretch or compression of the spring

𝐹!"#$%& = −𝑘 𝑥 − 𝑥'
Where,
k – spring constant
𝑥! – equilibrium position
𝑥 − the displacement of the spring from its position at equilibrium
Sample Problem
What is the magnitude of the force required to
stretch a 20 cm-long spring, with a spring constant of
90 N/m, to a length of 23 cm.
Normal Force
the force exerted
perpendicularly by a
surface against an
object pressing on
that surface is called
as the normal force.
Friction Force
is the force exerted by a surface as an object
moves across it or makes an effort to move
across it. There are at least two types of
friction force – kinetic and static friction.
• Friction always acts parallel to two planes in
contact with each other and in the direction
opposite the motion

• Friction always decreases the relative motion


between the bodies and the surface

• Friction is greater in rough surfaces than in


smooth surfaces
Kinetic Friction
is the force causes an object slides across a
surface. This is the kind of force which
‘opposes the motion’ of the body, meaning
that the friction force vector 𝑓! points in a
direction opposite to the motion..
Kinetic Friction
Static Friction

is the force that keeps an object ‘stuck’


on a surface which also prevents its
motion. Static friction points opposite
the direction in which the body would
move if friction is not present
Static Friction
Free Body Diagram
Free Body Diagram
is a graphical illustration used to visualize
the applied forces, moments, and resulting
reactions on a body in a given condition.
A Free-Body Diagram represents the body as a particle which shows all the
forces interacting on it. The length of the line of an arrow represents the
magnitude of the force while its tip represents the force’s direction.

Drawing Free Body Diagram

1. Identify all the forces acting on the object.


2. Draw a coordinate system in accordance to the orientation of the
body. If the body is tilted, the orientation of the coordinate system
has to be tilted as well.
3. Represent the object as a dot at the origin of the coordinate axes.
A ball is at rest on a tabletop. A free-body diagram of the ball for this situation looks
like this:
A gymnast holding onto a bar, is suspended motionless in mid-air. The bar is
supported by two ropes that attach to the ceiling.

Newton’s Law of Motion
Newton’s First Law of Motion

states that every object will remain at rest or in


uniform motion in a straight line unless
compelled to change its state by the action of
an external force.
An object on which net force is zero is said to be in
mechanical equilibrium. According to Newton’s First
Law, there are two types of mechanical equilibrium:

• Static equilibrium - takes place when the object is at rest.

• Dynamic equilibrium - takes place when the object is


moving in a straight path with constant velocity
Inertia
is the tendency of a body to resist sudden
change in motion. All objects have the ability
to resist changes in their motion. Its
capability to either continue to move or stay
at rest depends on this property.

Newton’s Second Law of Motion

In an inertial frame of reference, the vector sum of the


forces F on an object is equal to the mass m of that
object multiplied by the acceleration a of the object

𝐹'() = 𝑚𝑎
Sample Problem

How much force is needed


to accelerate a 75 kg fish
ball cart at 2 m/sec2?
Sample Problem

A man is pushing a table with an


net external force of 40N towards
right. The mass of the table is 20 kg.
What is the acceleration?

Neglect friction.
Sample Problem

A man is pushing a table with an


force of 40N towards right. The
mass of the table is 20 kg. What is
the acceleration? Consider the
floor have a friction of 2N.
Sample Problem
An iceboat is at rest on a constant horizontal surface. Due to the blowing wind, 4.0 s
after the iceboat is released, it is moving constantly to the right at 6.0 m/s What
horizontal force 𝐹" does the wind exert on the iceboat? The combined mass of iceboat
and rider is 200 kg and a friction of 100N.
Sample Problem

A box with a mass of 25kg is


attached to a 10kg box as shown.
What is the acceleration of the
system and the magnitude of the
tension force?
Inertial Frame of Reference

is a coordinate system in which Newton’s Laws of Motion


are valid. The first law provides a convenient way to see if
a coordinate system is a frame of reference
Inertial Frame of Reference

(a) Cruising at constant speed (b) Accelerating during takeoff


Newton’s Third Law of Motion
states that for every action (force) in nature
there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Action-Reaction Pair
Action-reaction pairs are
forces of equal magnitude and
opposite direction that act on
different object.
