FORCE…What is a force?
What can force do?
Force changes the motion of an objectgravitational force is responsible for the
elliptical orbit of the Earth / Sun.
frictional force slows down a sliding hockey puck.
Force causes deformations in an objectelectrical force causes nucleus to deform
applied force can cause a spring to stretch or compress
FORCE…What is a force?
What kind of forces are there?
Fundamental: Gravity, Electromagnetic, strong, weak
Practical: Gravitational, electrical, magnetic, frictional, drag “stretchy”, contact (hard objects)
All of these can be measured in units of “force”
Pounds or Newtons are common. 2.2 lbs. =~ 10 Newtons.(1 kg weighs 10 Newtons on Earth)
A little bit about “net force”
Forces have a directionality
“Net Income” = profit after adding up all the plusses and minuses.
“Net Force” = force after adding up all the up, down, left, right and diagonal force vectors

“10 Lbs up + 10 Lbs down= zero net force”
10 Lbs45 deg. up
10 Lbs45 deg. down
“10 pounds up and to the right + 10 pounds down and to the right = 14 pounds to the right”
14 lbs right
Newton’s three laws of motion: review of 1st two
1. Inertia: An object’s motion will not change unless acted on by an external force.
2. Acceleration is proportional to force. a = F / m
Let’s look some more at Newton’s first two laws, and inertia
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hyw9uNF4nmE&feature=related(excellent lecture on inertia)
(Last week we did some of our own lecture demos (table cloth, smashing hand))
And watch this famous demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TKe5rBJeYc
Newton’s third law of motion.
“When two objects interact, the forces they exert on each other are equal and opposite”
“For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.”
“For an isolated system, there is conservation of momentum”
The Sun cannot attract the Earth without the Earth attracting the sun…You cannot push on the bumper of a car without the bumper of the car pushing on you.

Linear Momentum
Also just referred to as “momentum”
Momentum is proportional to massMomentum is proportional to velocity (speed)Momentum is a vector (we won’t use these)
Momentum = mass x velocityp =m v
Like total energy, linear momentum is conserved…cannot be created or destroyed.
Conservation of momentum is reflected in Newton’s 1st and 3rd laws.

Let’s think about conservation of momentum
Newton’s cradle demoMomentum conserved, kinetic energy NOT conserved.
momentum = mass * velocitykinetic energy = ½ mass * (velocity)2
“Elastic collision” total kinetic energy conserved
“inelastic collision” kinetic energy lost via heat flow
Newton’s Cradle: Dominique Toussaint on wikipedia
Brainstorming session
Part 1 – Think of examples where linear momentum appears to NOT be conserved
Throwing clay at the wall; Car crash—inelastic collision car smashing into steel pole; bullet into bullet proof vest; bird against the window; skier into tree; drop something onto the ground;
Part 2 – one object was at rest other in motion, both end up at rest; objects change shape (accounts for the inelasticity or loss of kinetic energy); always a smaller object crashing into a much bigger object.
Clicker question—conservation of momentum
Consider a car at rest at a stop light. When the light turns green, the car accelerates up to a speed of 60 mph. The momentum went from zero to something much more than zero! Does this violate the law of conservation of momentum???
A) YesB) No

A) YesB) No
It really is a very good law of physics, so has to be “no.”But where did the momentum come from?
Angular momentum is the momentum of spinning or orbiting.
For linear momentum, recall:Momentum is proportional to massMomentum is proportional to velocity (speed)
momentum = mass x velocitymomentum = inertia x velocity
Angular momentum is similar:Angular momentum is proportional to rotational inertiaAngular momentum is proportional to rotational speed
angular momentum = rotational speed x moment of inertia
Complicated!!!
Moment of inertia (rotational “mass”)
The further the mass from the rotation axis, the higher the moment of inertia.
angular momentum = rotational speed x moment of inertia
Clicker Question—Angular Momentum
Two spinning tops have exactly the same mass and are spinning at exactly the same angular rate (e.g., 1000 rpm). Which of them would have more angular momentum?
A B C
Exactly the Same
Clicker Question—Angular Momentum
Two spinning tops have exactly the same mass and are spinning at exactly the same angular rate (e.g., 1000 rpm). Which of them would have more angular momentum?
A B C
Exactly the Same
Mass farther away from axis contributesmore to angular momentum
Angular momentum is conserved also!
Like total energy and linear momentum, there is “conservation of angular momentum”…cannot be created or destroyed
If two objects are spinning in opposite directions, they have opposite angular momentum.
“right hand rule”
Angular momentum “up”“positive”, “spin up”
Angular momentum “down”“negative”, “spin down”
Clicker question—”right hand rule”
Say I spin a top on a table. Looking at the top from above, it is rotating counter-clockwise. Is this top “spin up” or “spin down”?
A) spin upB) spin down View from above

Does this violate law ofconservation of angular momentum?
Falling cat and angular momentum…
First, I want to point out how dangerous this is.
In this case, the falling cat JUST MISSED a sleeping baby!!!
Cat shaped holein mattress
Oblivioussleeping baby
At beginning and end, cat hasZero angular momentum.
In between it’s diffuclt to see, buttotal angular momentum still zero.
We maybe can demonstrate this withthe spinning chair???
Falling cat does not violate conservation of angular momentum
Let’s play with some demos of “conservation of angular momentum!”
Spinning chair / dumbells
Bicycle wheel / chair
