Physics 201 5: Some Application of Newtons Laws • Newtons Second law and Uniform Circular Motion • Newtons Second law and Nonuniform Circular Motion • Motion in Accelerated Frames of Reference • Motion in the Presence of resistive Forces.
In uniform circular motion the acceleration of the object is v 2 ˆ a = - r r c ˆ r is the unit vector pointing from the center of motion to the object What causes this acceleration? It must be a force 2 m v ˆ F = - r r c where m is the mass of the object. This force is called the CENTRIPETAL force
Where do centripetal forces come from? • gravity • tension • friction
v W W = ma = mg ( r ) c ¯ mM v 2 ( ) G = m G is Newtons Gravitational constant e r r 2 ¯ GM v = in order that gravitational force e r sustains uniform circular motion
The force of gravity continually changes the direction of motion of the object, thus keeping it a constant orbit at constant speed as long as the speed is given by • If the speed increases the radius of the orbit increases • If the speed decreases the radius of the orbit decreases
T v If speed increases and length of string is fixed then the tension increases
Car turning on flat road Ff v • If the speed increases and the force of friction does not the radius of turning increases (skidding outward)
Car turning on banked road • 3 situations • 1: Force of friction plays no role and banking provides necessary centripetal force • 2: Banking too great and need outward force of friction • 3: Banking not enough and thus need force of friction to stop outward motion N Ff,out Fc Ff,in W
For turning speed v , total centripetal force required toward center of motion m v 2 ˆ F = - r c r this force continually deflects velocity to turn car in circle of radius r N Ff direction of Ff is determined by the speed v radius r and banking Fc W Forces on car
