Introduction to Force

Defining Force • Force: Any Push or Pull - Any interaction between two objects

Defining Force • Force: Any Push or Pull - Any interaction between two objects • Force is a vector quantity

Inertia • Inertia: An object’s tendency to remain in motion at constant speed in

Inertia • Inertia: An object’s tendency to remain in motion at constant speed in a straight line or to remain in a state of rest. I mass

Newton’s First Law of Motion • Newton’s First Law of Motion: An object has

Newton’s First Law of Motion • Newton’s First Law of Motion: An object has a natural tendency to remain in motion at a constant speed in a straight line or to remain at rest unless acted upon by a net force.

Net Force • Net Force: The sum of all forces acting on an object.

Net Force • Net Force: The sum of all forces acting on an object. – FNet = F – FNet = zero, then the object must have zero acceleration (i. e. at rest, moving at constant velocity) – FNet zero, Object must be accelerating

Force Diagram • Force Diagram: A diagram that displays all the forces acting on

Force Diagram • Force Diagram: A diagram that displays all the forces acting on a single object. (also known as a free-body diagram) – Represent the object by a single point – Draw force vectors such that they originate from the point

Types of Forces – Gravitational Force: A force of attraction between any two masses.

Types of Forces – Gravitational Force: A force of attraction between any two masses. Fg • Even though this force acts between all objects with mass, it is commonly observed between planets and terrestrial objects.

Types of Forces • Normal Force: A contact force that acts at a right

Types of Forces • Normal Force: A contact force that acts at a right angle to the surfaces of two objects in contact. FN (Normal right angle) – Contact forces are attributed to the electromagnetic force between charged particles at the microscopic level.

Types of Force • Frictional Force: A contact force that acts parallel to the

Types of Force • Frictional Force: A contact force that acts parallel to the surfaces of two objects in contact, so as to oppose the relative motion of the two surfaces/objects. – Types of Friction • Static- Opposes the motion of two surfaces stationary relative to each other. Fs • Kinetic- Opposes the motion of two surfaces moving relative to each other. Fk

Types of Force • Tension Force: A contact force applied along the length of

Types of Force • Tension Force: A contact force applied along the length of a narrow object. (ex. string, rope, cable, rod, arm, etc. ) FT • The tension force is the same at any point along the continuous length of the object. – The tension force acts in both directions along its length.

Types of Forces • Air Resistance: The contact force between air molecules and objects

Types of Forces • Air Resistance: The contact force between air molecules and objects in motion relative to each other. FR – FR α v
