5-3 Applying Newton’s Laws (1 of 20) Link to heading

Learning Objectives

  • 5.14 Identify Newton’s third law of motion and third-law of force pairs. 5.15 For an object that moves vertically or on a horizontal or inclined plane, apply Newton’s second law to a free-body diagram of the object.
  • 5.16 For an arrangement where a system of several objects moves rigidly together, draw a free-body diagram and apply Newton’s second law for the individual objects and also for the system taken as a composite object.

5 Summary (1 of 5) Link to heading

  • Newtonian Mechanics
    • Forces are pushes or pulls
    • Forces cause acceleration
  • Force
    • Vector quantities
    • 1 N = 1 kg m/s2
    • Net force is the sum of all forces on a body

5 Summary (2 of 5) Link to heading

  • Newton’s First Law
    • If there is no net force on a body, the body remains at rest if it is initially at rest, or moves in a straight line at constant speed if it is in motion.
  • Inertial Reference Frames
  • Frames in which Newtonian mechanics holds

5 Summary (3 of 5) Link to heading

  • Mass
    • The characteristic that relates the body’s acceleration to the net force
    • Scalar quantit
  • Newton’s Second Law $$\tag{5-1} \vec{F}_{\rm net} = m \vec{a} $$
    • Free-body diagram represents the forces on one object

5 Summary (4 of 5) Link to heading

  • Some Particular Forces
    • Weight: $$\tag{5-12} W = mg $$
    • Normal force from a surface
    • Friction along a surface
    • Tension in a cord

5 Summary (5 of 5) Link to heading

  • Newton’s Third Law
    • Law of force-pairs
    • If there is a force by B on C, then there is a force by C on B: $$\tag{5-15} \vec{F}{BC} = -\vec{F}{CB} $$
