What is Mechanics?
Kinematics describes how objects move
Mechanics explains why objects moveusing the concepts of
• force
• energy
• momentum

Forces
What is force? (Crudely speaking)A force is a push or a pull that can
• change the velocity of an object
• cause a distortion in the size or shape of an object
Examples?
KJF §4.2 8

Forces in Mechanics
Contact forces include
• Tension in rope
• Friction
• Drag
• Pushes / Pulls(virtually all common contact forces are actually electromagnetic)
KJF §4.3 9

Forces in Mechanics
Long-range forces
• Gravitational
• Electric & magnetic
The gravitational force between us and earth we call our weight

Fundamental Forces
Present theory says that all known forces can be shown to be due to three fundamental forces in nature:
• Gravitational — between masses
• Electroweak (electromagnetic+weak nuclear) — between charges
• Strong nuclear force — between particles in nucleus

Vectors
Force is a vector: it has direction & magnitude.
S.I. Unit of force: newton, N (or kg m s–2)
‣ Can be resolved into components at right angles
‣ Two or more forces acting on the same object are added by the rules of vector addition (resultant or net force)
KJF §4.2 & see "Vector Algebra Notes"

Newtons First Law
If no net external force is applied to an object, its velocity will remain constant ("inert").
OR
A body cannot change its state of motion without outside influence.
or Law of Inertia

Remember:
• Both magnitude |v| and direction are constant!
• An object “at rest” v = 0, will remain at rest
• Applies if resultant force = 0 ("net" means resultant)

This law only applies in a non-rotating, non-accelerating frame of reference (called an “inertial frame”).
"frame of reference" means "point of view"

2000 years to change from Aristotle’s view — that a body needed a force to keep it moving.
Seems contradictory because we forget about gravitational and frictional forces acting on us in our everyday life.

Example
A hockey puck on a string, being rotated rapidly on a horizontal sheet of ice
(i.e. we can ignore vertical forces & friction)
Let go of string.
Which way does it go?
