  1. Inertia 1 Force 1 Next Slide Inertia • Aristotle’s old belief • Constant speed motion requires constant force • Galileo’s law of inertia Photo • It is as natural for a moving object to keep moving with a constant speed along a straight line as for a stationary object to remain at rest.

  2. Inertia 2 Force 1 Next Slide Inertia and Newton’s first law of motion • Galileo’s thought experiment Diagrams • Newton’s first law of motion: • Every object remains in a state of rest or uniform speed along a straight line (constant velocity) unless acted on by an unbalanced force. Photo

  3. Inertia 3 Force 1 Next Slide Inertia and Newton’s first law of motion • Force : changes the state of rest or uniform motion of an object (vector! Why?) • Inertia : the resistance of an object to a change in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line. • Mass : is a measure of inertia (scalar! Why?) • Mass can be considered as a measure of inertia • Inertial balance Diagrams

  4. Force 1 Force 1 Next Slide Friction • Origin of wrong concept of Aristotle’s old belief • Nature of friction Diagrams • Direction : opposite to the motion (velocity) • Examples of smooth surface Photo • Demonstration of Newton’s first law on smooth surfaces

  5. Force 2 Force 1 Next Slide Unbalanced force (resultant force, net force) • Falling of object in liquid (terminal velocity) Photo • Its relation with Newton’s first law of motion Diagram • Friction-compensated inclined plane Photo • Experiment to study resultant force Diagram • Results Calculation

  6. Force 3 Force 1 Next Slide Newton’s second law of motion • Acceleration is not zero if the resultant force is not zero. • Deductions from the results 1. Acceleration  force (mass is constant) 2. Acceleration  1/mass (force is constant) 3. F  ma or F = constant  ma

  7. Force 4 Force 1 Next Slide Newton’s second law of motion • Definition: The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to, and in the same direction as, the unbalanced force acting on it, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object • Unit of force : Newton (N)

  8. Force 5 • 1 newton of force will give a mass 1 kg an acceleration 1 Force 1 Next Slide Newton’s second law of motion • constant in F = constant  ma becomes 1 • Mathematical form of Newton’s second law • Direction of resultant force = direction of acceleration

  9. Weight & Mass 1 Force 1 Next Slide Weight and Mass • Definition: The force of gravity acting on the object is called the weight of the object and is measured in newton • Acceleration in free falling = 10 m s-2 1 kg of mass has a weight 10 N (downwards)

  10. Weight & Mass 2 Force 1 Next Slide Weight and Mass • Instruments to measure weight and mass Photo • Weightlessness • Discussion about the restrictions of the above machine Calculation

  11. Addition of Force 1 Force 1 Next Slide Addition of Forces (vectors) • More than one force acting on an object • Add them together to get ONE resultant force • F = ma can only be applied for resultant force • Tip-to-tail method (Revision) • Example 1 Calculation • Example 2 Calculation

  12. Addition of Force 2 Force 1 Next Slide Addition of Forces (vectors) • Method of resolving components • Adding forces or vectors without drawing diagrams • Example Calculation • Examples for components of forces Calculation

  15. A C D E F Inertia 2 Force 1 Next Slide • Small bearing is released from rest on a smooth track at A. • A ball reaches point C which is of the same height • Same situation for D and E • If the track is infinite long, the ball will never stop.

  16. Inertia 2 Force 1 Next Slide • Galileo’ pin-and-pendulum experiment • Consider the swing of a simple pendulum

  17. Back to Inertia 2 Force 1 Click Back to • The bob rises to the same height as before • Even we have a pin, the bob rises to the same height

  18. Back to Inertia 2 Force 1 Click Back to • Isaac Newton (1642-1727)

  19. Back to Inertia 3 Force 1 Click Back to • We set the platform into vibration and record the period. • Fix load on the platform and repeat the vibration, we find that a longer period can be found. • The larger the load, the longer the period.

  20. Back to Force 1 Force 1 Click Back to • Friction is caused by the interlocking of surface irregularities.

  23. Back to Force 2 Force 1 Click Back to • An object is falling inside liquid.

  24. liquid resistance weight Back to Force 2 Force 1 Click Back to • The object is falling downwards with constant velocity. Do you know why? • Liquid resistance is equal to the weight • No unbalanced force

  25. Back to Force 2 Force 1 Click Back to • An inclined plane is prepared so that when we give the trolley a hard push, it moves down with constant velocity. It is called to be friction-compensated. • Careful adjustment for the plane is needed to achieve this situation.

  26. elastic string trolley Friction-compensated inclined plane Force 2 Force 1 Next Slide • Identical elastic strings are used to pull the trolley. • At first, we use one string and then two, and three. • We always maintain the same length for all the strings so that each string produces the same force. • The accelerations in each case are recorded.

  27. elastic string friction-compensated inclined plane Back to Force 2 Force 1 Click Back to • One elastic string is used to pull several trolleys. • At first, we use one trolley and then two, and three. • We always maintain the same length for the string so that the string produces the same force in each case. • The accelerations in each case are recorded.

  28. 1 string 2 strings 3 strings a = 2 m s-2 a = 4 m s-2 a = 6 m s-2 Force 2 Force 1 Next Slide • Different tape charts for different no. of strings with one trolley are shown. • We find that the acceleration is directly proportional to the no. of strings used (Force) when the mass of trolley is kept constant.

  29. 1 trolley 2 trolleys 3 trolleys a = 2 a = 1 a = 0.67 Back to Force 2 Force 1 Click Back to • Different tape charts for different no. of trolleys with one string are shown. • We find that the acceleration is inversely proportional to the no. of trolleys used (mass) when 1 string is used (constant force).

  31. Back to Weight and Mass 2 Force 1 Click Back to • Can we use the beam balance or spring balance on Moon to get correct readings of mass and weight of an object with 1 kg mass? • The acceleration due to gravity on Moon is only about 1.8 m s-2. • 1 kg slot-mass is still needed to balance the object. • The reading from the spring balance = 1  1.8 = 1.8 N! • Mass is the same anywhere while weight depends on position and is not a constant even for the same object.
