FORCE
Sir Isaac
Newton
January 4th, 1643 – March 31st, 1727
Newton was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, and theologian and one of the most influential men in human history.
Among many other things, he is credited with describing the Universal Law of Gravitation and the Three Laws of Motion.
A 2005 survey of the British Royal Society ranked Newton ahead of even Einstein as having a greater influence on the history of science.
Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia MathematicaLatin for "mathematical principles of natural philosophy"
A three-volume work by Isaac Newton
published on 5 July 1687 that contains the
statement of Newton's laws of motion forming
the foundation of classical mechanics, as well
as his law of universal gravitation and a
derivation of Kepler's laws for the motion of
the planets (which were first obtained
empirically).
The Principia is widely regarded
as one of the most important
scientific works ever written.
The physical law describing the gravitational attraction
between bodies with mass
It states the following:
• F is the magnitude of the gravitational force between the two point masses,• G is the gravitational constant,• m1 is the mass of the first point mass,
• m2 is the mass of the second point mass,• r is the distance between the two point masses.
Every point mass attracts every other point mass by a force pointing along the
line intersecting both points. The force is proportional to the product of the two
masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the
point masses:
where:

Got it?
Force? A force is a push or pull
upon an object resulting
from the object's
interaction with another
object.
Forces only exist as a
result of an interaction. Force has both
direction and
magnitude
Inertia “The vis insita, or innate force of matter is a power of resisting, by which every body, as much as in it lies, endeavors to preserve in
its present state, whether it be of rest, or of moving uniformly forward in a straight line.”
In English, please!
Inertia is the resistance of an object to a change in its state of motion. A bowling ball has more inertia
than a soccer ball.Don’t believe me?
Kick the bowling ball, then kick the soccer ball.
More mass = More inertiaMore inertia Less inertia

Forces are balanced so

Balanced vs. Unbalanced

An unbalanced force is exerted on the ball in the direction of the arrow, causing it to move in that direction until…
Balanced vs. Unbalanced
forces…its motion is stopped by an interaction with another force!
Once again, the forces are
balanced and all is well in the
universe.
Balanced
ForcesIf the forces
acting on an
object are
balanced, the
object is at rest.
We say the
“Net Force” = 0
Net force = sum of all forces acting on an object
If the forces acting
on an object become
unbalanced,
the object moves in
the direction of the
greatest net force.
Unbalanced
Forces
In this case, the “Net Force” = 5 Newtons to the left
Force applied in this direction
The newton is a unit of force that is defined as the amount of force required to accelerate a mass of one
kilogram at a rate of one meter per second per second.
Algebraically:
Mmm
m,
Newtons!
Oh, sorry, wrong

Diagramming
ForcesIf you were paying attention, you would have
noticed that forces were illustrated using arrows.
The size and direction of the arrow represents the
relative strength and direction of the force.
Balance forces - arrows equal in lengthUnbalanced forces - arrows not equal,
Movement is to the right
Calculating Net ForcesTo calculate net forces, add all forces exerted
on the object.
In this example, the net force up the ramp is greater than gravity,
and the piano is moved forward and up the
ramp into the truck. A

C
For this example Net force = (force A + force B) – force C

For this example Net force = force 1 - force 2
The force due to gravity in this example is negligibleWhat other
forces can you identify in this
picture?

Newton’s First Law of Motion
“An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction
unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.”
AKA - The Law of Inertia
“Every body perseveres in its state of being at rest or of moving uniformly straight forward, except insofar as it is compelled to change its state by
force impressed.” Not again!One more time…
English, please!
Newton’s First Law of Motion
Said another way, Newton’s First Law of Motion states
that a moving object moves in a straight line with
constant speed unless a force acts on it.
An object will not start moving unless a force acts on it
An object will not stop moving unless a force acts on it
An object will not change speed unless a force acts on it
An object will not change direction unless a force acts on it
FrictionA force that opposes motion between two
surfaces that are touching
Even surfaces that seem to be extremely smooth have microscopic hills and valleys, and when two
surfaces are in contact, the hills and valleys of one stick to the hills and valleys of the other, causing friction to resist the force of motion
Static friction
The friction that exists between two objects in contact
Friction
Sliding friction
When force is applied that is strong enough to break
the bonds of static friction and movement starts,
sliding friction acts to slow that object down
Friction
Rolling frictionThe resistance
that occurs when a round object
such as a ball or tire rolls on a flat
surface
Friction
Fluid friction
Fluid friction
occurs when a
solid object
travels through
a liquid or gas.

Friction
Friction always acts in the opposite
direction of movement, and
always acts to slow object down.

Newton’s Second Law of
MotionForce equals mass times acceleration (F = ma)
The net force on an object is equal to the mass (m) of
the object multiplied by its acceleration (a)
Units of Force
Mass = kilograms (kg)
Acceleration = (m/s2)
Therefore….
F = kg ● m/s2
Force is measured in (Newtons, that is)

GravityGravity is a force that always attracts or pulls objects toward each other without direct contact or impact.
Gravitational attraction depends on the mass of the two objects and the distance they are apart.
Objects on Earth are pulled toward the center of Earth.
The force of gravity, like all other forces, can cause changes in the speed of objects. As an object falls, its speed will continually increase as Earth’s gravity continually pulls it downward. When air resistance is ignored, all objects will speed up at the same rate as they fall.
Gravity can also cause an object that is thrown into the air to change its upward motion, slow down, and fall back toward Earth’s surface.
The pull of Earth’s gravity keeps the Moon in orbit; the moon is constantly changing direction because of gravity.
The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/sec2
When air resistance is ignored, all objects will speed up at the same rate as they fall.
When the ball is dropped off the cliff, the ball will accelerate by 9.8 meters/second each second.
At the end of 1 second, the ball is traveling at 9.8 m/sec
At the end of 2 seconds, the ball’s velocity is 19.6 m/sec (9.8 m/sec X 2)
Etc…..
GravityFactoring in air resistance (fluid friction) will cause an object to reach a limit to its acceleration. This concept is known as terminal velocity. For an average skydiver, terminal velocity is approximately 195 km/sec (55 m/sec).
Terminal velocity is reached when the net force between gravity ( Fg ) and fluid friction,
or drag ( Fd ) reaches zero.

F = mass X (9.8 m/s2)
This dude is nuts!

Newton’s Third Law of Motion
Whenever a particle (A) exerts a force on another particle (B),
(B) simultaneously exerts a force on (A) with the same
magnitude in the opposite direction.
This law is often simplified into the sentence,
"To every action
there is an equal and opposite
reaction."
Lex III: Actioni contrariam semper et æqualem esse reactionem: sive corporum duorum actiones in se
mutuo semper esse æquales et in partes contrarias dirigi.

Self-check questions1) Think about our happy cyclist from earlier in the
discussion
2) Your weight will decrease as you get farther from Earth because the gravitational pull of Earth is decreasing
3) Greater the speed, greater the air resistance, up to the point of terminal velocity
4) Net force will push diagonally at some angle on the car and to the right
5) The motion of the box will not change until the forces become unbalanced

6)F = maF = 1500 kg X 2.0 m/s2 = 3,000 N
7) F = mam = F/a = 300 N / 1500 m/s2 = 0.2 kg
or (300 kg ● m/s2) / 1500 m/s2 = 0.2 kg

F = maF = 100 kg ● 9.8 m/sec2
F = 980 kg ● m/sec2
(1 Newton = 1 kg ● m/sec2)Answer = 980 Newtons (or 980 N)This is Newton’s Second Law of Motion
Quick ReviewA roller coaster reaches the top of the big hill traveling at a
speed of 15 m/sec. When it reaches the bottom of the hill 3 seconds later it is traveling at 27 m/sec. Calculate the average
acceleration. Explain how you got your answer.
Average acceleration = (Final velocity – Initial velocity) / Time
= (27 m/sec – 15 m/sec) / 3 seconds
= (12 m/sec) / 3 seconds
= 4 m/sec2
