These form the foundation for understanding motion in the everyday world. Two new concepts appear: force and mass. Definitions ( Force ( a push or a pull, measured in units called Newtons. ( Mass ( the amount of resistance to acceleration (inertia) a body offers Alternatively, mass is a measure of the amount of matter a body contains. Mass has units of kilograms. Here are the three laws of motion, Law of inertia: Law One A particle moves in a straight line with constant speed if no net force acts on it. That is, S F = 0 ( v = constant. Most famous equation in physics: Law Two If a net force acts on a particle of mass m then the particle accelerates, S F = Fnet = m a. Law of action-reaction: Law Three If particle two exerts a force on particle one, F12 , then particle one exerts a force on particle two, F21. These forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, F12 = -F21 . Comments ( We will expend a considerable amount of time getting to understand these laws since they are the heart of classical mechanics. Much about these laws is counter-intuitive, only because we live in a region of space where gravity exists and therefore, friction is important. ( What does SF mean? This is the (vector) sum of all of the forces that on the particle in question. To do this sum it is very important to be clear about what you are calling the system under study. ( The laws imply the effect of a force is to cause acceleration. Some important forces ( Weight One of the most important forces we will encounter is weight. The weight of a particle is the force on the particle by the earth. If weight is the only force then according to Newtons second law, FW = m g. We have made use of the fact that (near earth and neglecting friction) all bodies have an acceleration of magnitude, g. ( Elastic force Another important force is the elastic force a spring exerts on a particle attached to it, Fel = -kx (Hookes Law) Here k is a measure of the stiffness of the spring called the spring constant and x gives the distance from equilibrium, the stretch or compression. ( Friction Finally, the importance of the frictional force will be addressed. When a body is at rest it can experience static friction, if the body is moving across a surface the friction is called kinetic friction. If both cases the friction is proportional to the normal force acting on the body by the surface it is placed on. The laws of friction will be presented in class. APPLICATIONS In class we will take up a number of applications of these laws: mass on an inclined plane pulling on a mass with a rope (tension) masses attached to each other over a pulley (Atwoods machine) elevator problem A general scheme of solving such problems will now be introduced, what I call THE NEWTONS LAW RECIPE: Step One Define the system and draw the free-body diagram ! # % & + , - p  0 2 F J L \ ^ d f ҸҲҸҤқҮҤҲ h,Q5CJ h,Qh,Q jh'&CJh'&CJOJQJh,Q h,QCJ jh'&CJ jh'&5CJ h'&5CJ h'&CJ h'&5h'&56>*CJ h'&>*h'&56CJ$ h'&6CJ$h'&5!"#$ % o p  2 :  & F & F-: t v   12IJKLh^hgd,Q^  d f j <=@CDFILNWXYlm.:LRz~hovwղh'&56CJ jh'&56CJ h'&>*CJ h,QCJh,Qh'&6CJh'&CJOJQJ jh'&CJ h'&CJH* h'&5h,Qh'& h'&5CJ h'&CJh,QCJH*aJ9LMNWXjkl|~%&tuh^huv -.pq'gw ,-oq *x,5,>,G,X,],d,,,,,,,[-`-----------üøʱʱʸʱʱʸʱʱʥʥʝ h,Qh,Qh,Qh,Q6h,Qh,Q5CJU h,Q>*CJh,Q h,Q5CJ h'&5CJ h,QCJ h'&CJ h'&>*CJ h'&>*h'&h,Q56CJh'&56CJ h'&6CJ9    !"#$%&&'()*4,5,>,,,,0-1---$If $Ifgd,Q $Ifgd,Q for the system, possibly using Newtons third law. Step Two Choose a coordinate system and resolve the force vectors along the coordinate axes. Step Three Use Newtons second law in component form to obtain the equations of motion and then solve the equations for the unknowns in terms of the knowns. As in all physics problems, make sure the units work out and as the final step, make sure your final answer seems reasonable.
