Newton's 1st Law Learning Goal: To understand Newton's 1st law. Newton's Principia states this first law of motion: An object subject to no net force maintains its state of motion, either at rest or at constant speed in a right line. This law may be stated as follows: If the sum of all forces acting on an object is zero, then the acceleration of that object is zero. Mathematically this is just a special case of the 2nd law of motion, F ⃗ = m a⃗ when F ⃗ = 0 , prompting scholars to advance the following reasons (among others) for Newton's spelling it out separately: 1. This expression only holds in an inertial coordinate system--one that is not accelerating--and this law really says you have to use this type of coordinate system (i.e., Newton's laws won't work inside an accelerating rocket ship.) 2. This was a direct challenge to the Impetus theory of motion, described as follows: A mover, while moving a body, impresses on it a certain impetus, a certain power capable of moving this body in the direction in which the mover set it going, whether upwards, downwards, sideways or in a circle. By the same amount that the mover moves the same body swiftly, by that amount is the impetus that is impressed on it powerful. It is by this impetus that the stone is moved after the thrower ceases to move it; but because of the resistance of the air and the gravity of the stone, which inclines it to move in a direction opposite to that towards which the impetus tends to move it, this impetus is continually weak ened. Therefore the movement of the stone will become continually slower, and at length, the impetus is so diminished or destroyed that the gravity of the stone prevails over it and moves the stone down towards its natural place. A. C. Crombie, Medieval and Early Modern Science This theory is sometimes called the Animistic theory of motion since it envisions a "life force" being associated with motion. Newton's 1st law is often very difficult to grasp because it contradicts various common-sense ideas of motion that they have acquired from experience in everyday life. For example, unaccounted for forces like friction might cause a ball rolling on the playground to eventually stop, even though no obvious forces seem to be acting. When studying Newtonian mechanics, it is best to remember this as two laws: 1. If the net force (i.e., sum of all forces) acting on an object is zero, the object will keep moving with constant velocity (which may be zero). 2. If an object is moving with constant velocity (not speed), that is, with zero acceleration, then the net force acting on that object must be zero. Complete the following sentences to see if you can apply these ideas.

Video Tutor: Suspended Balls: Which String Breaks? First, launch the video below. You will be asked to use your knowledge of physics to predict the outcome of an experiment. Then, close the video window and answer the question at right. You can watch the video again at any point.
Part A A heavy crate is attached to the wall by a light rope, as shown in the figure. Another rope hangs off the opposite edge of the box. If you slowly increase the force on the free rope by pulling on it in a horizontal direction, which rope will break? Ignore friction and the mass of the ropes. http://session.masteringphysics.com/myct/assignmentPrintView?assignmentID=2947114

Ch 04 HW
Hint 1. How to approach the problem Because you slowly increase the force you exert on the rope, the block’s inertia does not affect the outcome. Why is that the case? As you pull harder, the ropes stretch a bit, so the block slides slightly toward you. But the changes are so gradual that the accelerations of the block and ropes are practically zero at any instant. Shown here are free-body diagrams for the ropes and block:
What does Newton’s third law say about the tension forces exerted by the block on the two ropes? ANSWER: The rope that you are pulling on will break. Both ropes are equally likely to break. The rope attached to the wall will break.
Correct Since the attached rope doesn’t have to support any weight (as it did in the vertical case), the tension is the same in both ropes.
Tension in a Hanging Massive Rope Consider a rope with length l, mass per unit length λ, experiencing a gravitational acceleration g and hanging vertically as shown. Let y refer to the height of a point P above the bottom of the rope. http://session.masteringphysics.com/myct/assignmentPrintView?assignmentID=2947114

Pulling Two Blocks In the situation shown in the figure, a person is pulling with a constant, nonzero force F ⃗ on string 1, which is attached to block A. Block A is also attached to block B via string 2, as shown. For this problem, assume that neither string stretches and that friction is negligible. Both blocks have finite (nonzero) mass.
Part A Which one of the following statements correctly descibes the relationship between the accelerations of blocks A and B?
Hint 1. Relative movement of the blocks The two masses are connected (by string 2), which means, if they are being pulled, they must move together. ANSWER: Block A has a larger acceleration than block B. Block B has a larger acceleration than block A. Both blocks have the same acceleration. More information is needed to determine the relationship between the accelerations.

Ch 04 HW
Correct Since the two blocks are connected, they won't move independently when string 1 is pulled. As block A is accelerated, its motion will impart the same acceleration to block B.
Part B How does the magnitude of the tension in string 1,
T1
, compare with the tension in string 2,
T2
?
Hint 1. How to approach the problem Suppose that block A has a mass m. Draw a free-body diagram for block A, then write down Newton's 2nd law for block A's horizontal motion. What is the tension T1 ? Express the tension in terms of T2 ,
, and the block's acceleration a.
m
Hint 1. Free-body diagram for block A Taking the positive direction to be to the right, what is the net horizontal force acting on block A? (Note that, in the figure, forces are not drawn to scale.) Express your answer in terms of T1 , ,
nA
, and

T2

ANSWER: F = ma
=
T1 − T2
ANSWER: T1

8/17/2014
Ch 04 HW
T1 > T2 T1 = T2 T1 < T2
More information is needed to determine the relationship between T1 and T2 .
Correct The force transmitted through string 1 (proportional to T1 ) must be enough to accelerate both blocks, but the force transmitted through string 2 only needs to accelerate block B. Consider the case where block A is very heavy and block B is very light: In this case, string 2 would only need to supply a tiny amount of tension to keep the blocks connected as block A is pulled around.
Enhanced EOC: Exercise 4.10 A dockworker applies a constant horizontal force of 84.0N to a block of ice on a smooth horizontal floor. The frictional force is negligible. The block starts from rest and moves a distance 12.0m in a time of 5.10s . You may want to review ( pages 112 - 117) . For general problem-solving tips and strategies for this topic, you may want to view a Video Tutor Solution of Determining force from acceleration.
Part A What is the mass of the block of ice?
Hint 1. How to approach the problem Start by drawing a sketch of the block of ice and its motion across the smooth horizontal floor. Create a standard coordinate system, and draw all the forces on the block. Do you need to worry about the vertical forces (gravity and the surface’s normal force) on the block? Why? You know the force applied horizontally on the block. To determine its mass, what other quantity must you find? How can you use the information provided about the block’s motion to help you determine that other quantity? ANSWER: m
= 91.0
kg
Correct

Ch 04 HW
Hint 1. How to approach the problem To find out how far something moves in a time period, you need to know its initial velocity and acceleration. How can you determine these quantities for the block in the second time interval, when the worker is no longer pushing? During that second interval of motion, there is no force on the block of ice from the dockworker. What can be said about the acceleration on the block in this time? Use this information to find the distance travelled during the second time interval. ANSWER: x
= 21.6

Correct
Applying Newton's 2nd Law Learning Goal: To learn a systematic approach to solving Newton's 2nd law problems using a simple example. Once you have decided to solve a problem using Newton's 2nd law, there are steps that will lead you to a solution. One such prescription is the following: Visualize the problem and identify special cases. Isolate each body and draw the forces acting on it. Choose a coordinate system for each body. Apply Newton's 2nd law to each body. Write equations for the constraints and other given information. Solve the resulting equations symbolically. Check that your answer has the correct dimensions and satisfies special cases. If numbers are given in the problem, plug them in and check that the answer makes sense. Think about generalizations or simplfications of the problem. As an example, we will apply this procedure to find the acceleration of a block of mass m2 that is pulled up a frictionless plane inclined at angle θ with respect to the horizontal by a perfect string that passes over a perfect pulley to a block of mass m1 that is hanging vertically.

Ch 04 HW
Visualize the problem and identify special cases First examine the problem by drawing a picture and visualizing the motion. Apply Newton's 2nd law, ∑ F ⃗ = m a⃗, to each body in your mind. Don't worry about which quantities are given. Think about the forces on each body: How are these consistent with the direction of the acceleration for that body? Can you think of any special cases that you can solve quickly now and use to test your understanding later? One special case in this problem is if m2 gravity: a⃗1 = −g^ j.

, in which case block 1 would simply fall freely under the acceleration of
Part A Consider another special case in which the inclined plane is vertical (θ
). In this case, for what value of m1
= π/2
would the acceleration of the two blocks be equal to zero? Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables m2 and g. ANSWER: m1
=
m2
Correct
Isolate each body and draw the forces acting on it A force diagram should include only real forces that act on the body and satisfy Newton's 3rd law. One way to check if the forces are real is to detrmine whether they are part of a Newton's 3rd law pair, that is, whether they result from a physical interaction that also causes an opposite force on some other body, which may not be part of the problem. Do not decompose the forces into components, and do not include resultant forces that are combinations of other real forces like centripetal force or fictitious forces like the "centrifugal" force. Assign each force a symbol, but don't start to solve the problem at this point.

Part B Which of the four drawings is a correct force diagram for this problem?
ANSWER: a b c d
Correct
Choose a coordinate system for each body Newton's 2nd law, ∑ F ⃗ = m a⃗, is a vector equation. To add or subtract vectors it is often easiest to decompose each vector into components. Whereas a particular set of vector components is only valid in a particular coordinate system, the vector equality holds in any coordinate system, giving you freedom to pick a coordinate system that most simplifies the equations that result from the component equations. It's generally best to pick a coordinate system where the acceleration of the system lies directly on one of the coordinate axes. If there is no acceleration, then pick a coordinate system with as many unknowns as possible along the coordinate axes. Vectors that lie along the axes appear in only one of the equations for each component, rather than in two equations with trigonometric prefactors. Note that it is sometimes advantageous to use different coordinate systems for each body in the problem. In this problem, you should use Cartesian coordinates and your axes should be stationary with respect to the inclined plane.
Part C Given the criteria just described, what orientation of the coordinate axes would be best to use in this problem? In the answer options, "tilted" means with the x axis oriented parallel to the plane (i.e., at angle horizontal), and "level" means with the x axis horizontal. http://session.masteringphysics.com/myct/assignmentPrintView?assignmentID=2947114

Hint 1. Decompose the force of gravity on block 2 In this problem, the hardest force vector to express in terms of its coordinates is the force of gravity on block 2.

Correct
Part F Write equations for the constraints and other given information In this problem, the fact that the length of the string does not change imposes a constraint on relative accelerations of the two blocks. Find a relationship between the x component of the acceleration of block 2, a2x , and the acceleration of block 1. Pay careful attention to signs. Express a2x in terms of a1x and/or
a1y
, the components of the acceleration vector of block 1.
Hint 1. Visualize the motion If block 2 has an acceleration a2x up the incline, must the acceleration of block 1 be upward or downward to keep the string taut? ANSWER: a2x

Correct
Part G Solve and check In the previous parts, you obtained the following equations using Newton's 2nd law and the constraint on the motion of the two blocks: m2 a2x = T − m2 g sin(θ),

Also make sure that your answer has dimensions of acceleration. Express a1y in terms of some or all of the variables m1 ,
m2

Hint 1. How to solve the equations Substitute for T from equation (1) into equation (2) and then use a2x from equation (3) in the new equation (2). This will yield a linear equation in a1y that is easy to solve.
ANSWER:
a1y
=
(m sinθ−m )g 2 1 m1 +m2
Correct Can you see how a simple generalization of the problem could be solved with a little extra work or how you could solve a nontrivial problem that is a subset of this one? For example, imagine that there is friction in this problem between the plane and block 2. This would lead to an additional force on block 2: Ff2 = μN , where the normal force N is given by N = m2 g cos(θ). This additional force would lead to a new term in the expression for the acceleration of block 1: a 1y =
Now, by choosing whether or not
m2 sin(θ)−μm2 cos(θ)− m1 m1 + m2
g.
, you have a result that can be applied whether the plane is frictionless
μ = 0
or not!
Newton's 3rd Law Discussed Learning Goal: To understand Newton's 3rd law, which states that a physical interaction always generates a pair of forces on the two interacting bodies. In Principia, Newton wrote: To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction: or, the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed to contrary parts. (translation by Cajori) The phrase after the colon (often omitted from textbooks) makes it clear that this is a statement about the nature of force. The central idea is that physical interactions (e.g., due to gravity, bodies touching, or electric forces) cause forces to arise between pairs of bodies. Each pairwise interaction produces a pair of opposite forces, one acting on each body. In summary, each physical interaction between two bodies generates a pair of forces. Whatever the physical cause of the interaction, the force on body A from body B is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force on body B from body A. Incidentally, Newton states that the word "action" denotes both (a) the force due to an interaction and (b) the changes in momentum that it imparts to the two interacting bodies. If you haven't learned about momentum, don't worry; for now this is just a statement about the origin of forces. http://session.masteringphysics.com/myct/assignmentPrintView?assignmentID=2947114

Ch 04 HW
true false
Correct
Part E The two forces of a 3rd law pair always act on different bodies. ANSWER: true false
Correct
Part F Given that two bodies interact via some force, the accelerations of these two bodies have the same magnitude but opposite directions. (Assume no other forces act on either body.)
Hint 1. F ⃗
= ma⃗
Remember F ⃗ = ma⃗ : If the forces are equal in magnitude, must the accelerations also be of equal magnitude? ANSWER: true false
Correct Newton's 3rd law can be summarixed as follows: A physical interaction (e.g., gravity) operates between two interacting bodies and generates a pair of opposite forces, one on each body. It offers you a way to test for real forces (i.e., those that belong on the force side of Σ F ⃗ = m a⃗)--there should be a 3rd law pair force operating on some other body for each real force that acts on the body whose acceleration is under consideration.

± Motion of a Block with Three Forces The diagram below shows a block of mass m = 2.00 kg on a frictionless horizontal surface, as seen from above. Three forces of magnitudes F1 = 4.00 N, F2 = 6.00 N, and F3 = 8.00 N are applied to the block, initially at rest on the surface, at angles shown on the diagram. In this problem, you will determine the resultant (total) force vector from the combination of the three individual force vectors. All angles should be measured counterclockwise from the positive x axis (i.e., all angles are positive).
Part A Calculate the magnitude of the total resultant force F ⃗r
⃗ ⃗ ⃗ = F1 +F 2 + F 3
acting on the mass.
Express your answer in Newtons to three significant figures.
Hint 1. Definition of resultant force When several forces are applied to an object, the vector sum is often called the resultant or the resultant force.
Hint 2. How to find the resultant When working with vectors, the general rule is to think geometrically but to calculate using components. Thus to add vectors one estimates the sum by imagining the tail of the second vector to be placed at the point of the first, the tail of the third to be placed at the second, etc. But to calculate the vector sum each vector is represented by components in a convenient coordinate system and these components are added to find the components of the sum.

Conceptual Questions on Newton's 1st and 2nd Laws Learning Goal: To understand the meaning and the basic applications of Newton's 1st and 2nd laws. In this problem, you are given a diagram representing the motion of an object--a motion diagram. The dots represent the object's position at moments separated by equal intervals of time. The dots are connected by arrows representing the object's average velocity during the corresponding time interval. Your goal is to use this motion diagram to determine the direction of the net force acting on the object. You will then determine which force diagrams and which situations may correspond to such a motion.
Part A What is the direction of the net force acting on the object at position A?
Hint 1. Using Newton's 2nd law According to Newton's 2nd law, vectors
a⃗
⃗ and F net have the same direction. Can you determine the
direction of acceleration at position A by analyzing the diagram? ANSWER: upward downward to the left to the right The net force is zero.
Correct The velocity vectors connecting position A to the adjacent positions appear to have the same magnitude and direction. Therefore, the acceleration is zero--and so is the net force.
Part B http://session.masteringphysics.com/myct/assignmentPrintView?assignmentID=2947114

Ch 04 HW
What is the direction of the net force acting on the object at position B? ANSWER: upward downward to the left to the right The net force is zero.
Correct The velocity is directed to the right; however, it is decreasing. Therefore, the acceleration is directed to the left-and so is the net force.
Part C What is the direction of the net force acting on the object at position C?
Hint 1. Consider the components of the velocity The horizontal component of the velocity appears to remain constant. What about the vertical one? ANSWER: upward downward to the left to the right The net force is zero.
Correct The horizontal component of the velocity does not change. The vertical component of the velocity increases. Therefore, the acceleration--and the net force--are directed straight downward.
The next four questions are related to the force diagrams numbered 1 to 6. These diagrams represent the forces acting on a moving object. The number next to each arrow represents the magnitude of the force in newtons.
