Newton’s 2nd Law problem

Newton’s second law does not always work: - does not work when applied to atoms and molecules - does not work for particles moving close to the speed of light

Newton’s 3rd Law

• Valid for all of Physics

• Forces appear in equal and opposite pairs:

• When a force acts on a body, an equal and opposite force acts on another body somewhere in the Universe

• In order to be a 3rd law pair, the following requirements must be met:

• Act for the same time

• Same line of action

• Same type

• Same magnitude

• Acts on / exerted by different bodies

• Opposite direction

Confusion: what is a pair?

• Consider a book on a table • Write down the reaction – action pairs

• The reaction force to the weight is not the normal force - not the same type of force - both act on the same body - both can be drawn on the same FBD

• If N and W are not equal, they cannot be an action – reaction pair

• Action – reaction pairs are never drawn on the same FBD - using subscripts will help to avoid this trap

Two forces are equal and opposite if…

• x + y = 0 and A + B = 0

• X is the weight of the book 𝑊𝑏 • Y is the force the book exerts

on Earth

• Without table, the book would fall to Earth

• A is the force the table exerts on book 𝐶𝑡𝑏

• B is the force the book exerts on the table 𝐶𝑏𝑡

• This means for a 3rd law pair 𝑊𝑏𝑡 + 𝑊𝑡𝐸 + 𝑊𝐸𝑡 + 𝑊𝑡𝑏

𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑊𝑡𝐸 = − 𝑊𝐸𝑡 • If a system of two isolated

particles that exert equal and opposite forces on each other, then the ratio of their acceleration will be in the ratio of their masses

Example • A truck is pulling two trailers starts from rest and

accelerates to a speed of 16.2𝑘𝑚ℎ−1 in 15s on a straight level section of the highway. The mass of the truck itself, T, is 5450kg, the mass of the first trailer, A, is 31500kg and the mass of the second trailer, B, is 19600kg. Assume friction is negligible. a) What magnitude of force must the truck generate in order to accelerate the entire vehicle? b) What magnitude of force must each of the trailer hitches withstand while the vehicle is accelerating?

• A- trailer: 𝑚𝐴𝑎+ 𝐹𝐵𝐴= 𝐹𝑇𝐴

• 𝐹𝐵𝐴 = 𝐹𝑇𝐴 − 𝑚𝐴𝑎=15330-31500 x 0.3= 5880N

• 2nd hitch 𝐹𝐵𝐴: 5.9 × 103N

Example with friction • A train is pulling two carriages. It is moving along a horizontal

track with an acceleration a. The engine has mass M and each carriage has mass m. The combined drag and frictional force on each carriage and on the engine is f. What is the thrust of the engine and the tension in each coupling? Identify any action – reaction pairs

All together as one:

• (M + 2m)a + 3f = F

• The thrust in the engine is (M + 2m)a + 3f

Last carriage: ma + f = 𝑇32

2nd carriage: ma + f + 𝑇23 = 𝑇12

• ma + f +ma + f = 𝑇12

• 𝑇12= 2(f + ma)

Check answer using first carriage

Ma + f + 𝑇21 = F F = Ma + f + 2(f + ma) = Ma + 2ma + 3f = (M + 2m)a + 3f

static friction between 𝑚1 and the plane is 𝜇𝑆 = 0.15 and that each block has an identical mass of 2.0kg. Determine the acceleration of the blocks if 𝜃 = 300
