  1. ASTRONAUT PUSHES SPACECRAFT F = 40 N ma = 80 kg ms = 15000 kg as = F/ms = 40N/15000 kg = 0.0027 m/s2 aa = -F/ma = -40N/80kg = -0.5 m/s2 If tpush = 0.5 s, then vs = astpush =.0014 m/s, and va = aatpush = - 0.25 m/s.

  2. QUALITATIVE QUIZ Baffle If we add a baffle to our propeller-driven cart, the acceleration of the cart will: a. Increase a lot b. increase a little c. not change d. decrease a little e. decrease a lot

  3. NEWTON’S LAWS IN EVERYDAY LIFE You are standing still, then begin to walk. What was the external forced that caused you to accelerate? Hint: It is very hard to start walking if you are standing on ice. What force causes a car to accelerate when a traffic light turns green?

  4. NEWTON AND THE APPLE Newton knew that at the surface of the earth bodies (apples) fall 5 m in the first second, and that this acceleration is due to earth’s gravity. He showed that the gravity force is the same as if all earth’s mass were at its center, 4000 mi from the surface. (This required inventing Calculus). He wondered whether the same force attracts the moon towards earth.

  5. ACCELERATION OF OBJECT MOVING IN A CIRCLE Speed is rate of motion without regard for direction. A car goes 60 mph. But to tell where the car goes, direction must be specified as well as speed. The term velocity is used to describe both speed and direction. Acceleration in Newton’s second law, is the rate of change of velocity, not just speed.

  6. UNIFORM CIRCULAR MOTION • Centripetal Acceleration • Centripetal Force • Example: The moon

  7. Uniform Circular Motion is the motion of an object traveling at constant speed in a circular path. Examples: spot on a phonograph record washing machine during spin cycle ball whirled around on a string car turning a corner moon in orbit around Earth

  8. CENTRIPETAL ACCELERATION r0  r r r0  r v0  v v0 v v

  9. ac = v2/r r/r = v/v And, r = vt so v = v(vt)/r v/t = v2/r Centripetal Acceleration = ac ac = v2/r The centripetal acceleration points radially inward toward the center of the circle.

  10. RELATIVE DIRECTIONS r a v

  11. BALL ON STRING • r = 0.5 m, T = 2 s. What is ac? • v = 2r/T = 3.14/2 = 1.6 m/s • ac = v2/r = 2.5/0.5 = 5 m/s2 • What if we cut the period in half? • ac quadruples to 20 m/s2

  12. Centripetal Force • The name given to the net force needed to keep a mass m moving with speed v in a circle of radius r. • Magnitude: Fc = mv2/r • Toward the center of the circle

  13. EXAMPLE r How fast can a car turn a corner on a flat road? What provides the centripetal force?

  14. DEFINITION OF NORMAL FORCE W FN A normal force FN is the component of the force a surface exerts on an object that is perpendicular to the surface.

  15. APPARENT WEIGHT In a vertically accelerated reference frame, eg an elevator, your apparent weight is just the normal force exerted on you by the floor. Applying Newton’s second law: FN - mg = ma, or FN = mg + ma Apparent weight = true weight + ma where a = upward acceleration

  16. VERTICAL CIRCULAR MOTION FN mg FN mg At the top: Minimum v for FN = 0: (apparent weightlessness) Fc = mg mv2/r = mg v = (rg)1/2 At the bottom: FN = Fc + mg

  17. Roller Coaster Numbers r = 10 m for vertical loop For apparent weightlessness at top: v = (rg)1/2 = (10*9.8)1/2 = 10 m/s

  18. NEWTON’S CANNON v

  19. ACCELERATION OF MOON Does a gravity force cause the moon’s acceleration toward earth? If so, does it vary inversely as the square of the distance? ac moon = v2/r = (2pr/T)2/r r = 3.85*108 m, T = 27.3 days ac moon = 2.79*10-3 m/s2 ac moon/g = 2.79*10-4 (rearth/rmoon)2 = (4000mi/240000mi)2 = 2.78*10-4
