PHYSICS 231 PH 2 1 Lecture 9 More on forces PHY 231 1 For Mid Term Exam PHY 231 2 For Mid Term Exam PHY 231 3 For Mid Term Exam PHY 231 4 Newton s Laws First Law If the net force exerted on an object is zero the object continues in its original state of motion ti if it was att rest t it remains i att rest t If it was moving with a certain velocity it will keep on moving g with the same velocity y Second Law The acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass F ma If two objects interact the force exerted by the first object j on the second is equal q but opposite pp in direction to the force exerted by the second object on the first F12 F21 PHY 231 5 General strategy If not given make a drawing of the problem Put all the relevant forces in the drawing object by object object Think about the axis Think about the signs Decompose the forces in direction parallel to the motion and perpendicular to it Write down Newton s Newton s 2nd law for forces in the parallel direction and perpendicular direction Solve for the unknowns use in further equations if necessary Check whether your answer makes sense PHY 231 6 Review Inclined Plane Step 1 pick coordinate system such that x axis x axis is along plane Step 2 y component has no acceleration determines normal force Fy 0 N mg cos Step 3 Use Newton s Second Law to determine accelerationin x direction N Fx max ax g sin mg sin y Please note that the mass of the object has canceled out of this equation All objects accelerate att the th same rate t on this thi plane l independent of their mass We can write down the equation for the acceleration vector mg cos a g sin ex Fg x Limiting case acceleration approaches 0 as angle approaches 0 Expected PHY 231 7 Determining Static Friction Coefficients We can determine coefficient of static friction by using an inclined plane with variable angle Slowly raise plane form horizontal toward vertical Record angle
