Transcript of THE ACCELERATION OF AN OBJECT IS DEPENDENT UPON TWO VARIABLES - THE NET FORCE ACTING UPON THE OBJECT...
THE ACCELERATION OF AN OBJECT IS DEPENDENT UPON TWO VARIABLES - THE NET FORCE ACTING UPON THE
OBJECT AND THE MASS OF THE OBJECT.
Newton’s Second Law of Motion
Law of Acceleration, Force. and Mass
Acceleration, Force, and Mass
Newton determined that Acceleration is affected by Force directly and Mass inversely. So….
Check for Understanding
How can both of these objects under free fall conditions accelerate at the same rate?1. The elephant has
more force applied to it.
2. The boy has more force applied to him.
3. The forces on the objects are the same.
Newton’s Third Law of Motion
Law of Action-Reaction
Newton’s Third Law of Motion
If one object exerts a force on another object, then the second object exerts a force of equal strength in the opposite direction on the first object
“For every action there is an equal but opposite reaction”
Action – Reaction Pairs
Do Action – Reaction Forces “Balance”?
Action – Reaction forces do not “balance” out because they are acting on 2 different objects – therefore, can cause a change in motion!
Detecting Motion
You can’t always detect motion when paired forces are in action.
If one of the pairs is much more massive, you will only see the less massive object move
Example – When you push down on the Earth, you won’t see the Earth move, only you jumping in the air
Force
Unbalanced
Objects motion changes in the same direction as the force.
Fnet≠0
a≠0
Balanced
Object remains at rest or
uniform motion.
Fnet=0
a=0
Summation Equations
Forces are often represented using Free Body Diagrams so we can quickly determine if there is an unbalanced force present.
Balanced or Unbalanced?
Use a summation equation to determine if forces are balanced or unbalanced.
FNET=F1+F2+F3+F4….
Check for Understanding
Write the summation equation for each of the following. Which has the greatest net force?
