Introduction

  • Newton’s first and third laws are sufficient for the study of bodies at rest

(statics) or bodies in motion with no acceleration.

  • When a body accelerates (changes in velocity magnitude or direction),

Newton’s second law is required to relate the motion of the body to the forces acting on it.

  • Newton’s second law:
  • A particle will have an acceleration proportional to the magnitude of the

resultant force acting on it and in the direction of the resultant force.

  • The resultant of the forces acting on a particle is equal to the rate of change
  • f linear momentum of the particle.
  • The sum of the moments about O of the forces acting on a particle is

equal to the rate of change of angular momentum of the particle about O.

Newton’s Second Law of Motion

  • Newton’s Second Law: If the resultant force acting on a

particle is not zero, the particle will have an acceleration proportional to the magnitude of resultant and in the direction

  • f the resultant.
  • Consider a particle subjected to constant forces,

  • When a particle of mass m is acted upon by a force

the acceleration of the particle must satisfy , F

  • a

m F

  • =
  • Acceleration must be evaluated with respect to a Newtonian

frame of reference, i.e., one that is not accelerating or rotating.

  • If force acting on particle is zero, particle will not accelerate,

i.e., it will remain stationary or continue on a straight line at constant velocity.

Systems of Units

  • Of the units for the four primary dimensions (force, mass,

length, and time), three may be chosen arbitrarily. The fourth must be compatible with Newton’s 2nd Law.

  • International System of Units (SI Units): base units are the

units of length (m), mass (kg), and time (second). The unit

Dynamic Equilibrium

  • Alternate expression of Newton’s second law,

ector inertial v a m a m F ≡ − = −

  • With the inclusion of the inertial vector, the system of

forces acting on the particle is equivalent to zero. The particle is in dynamic equilibrium.

  • Methods developed for particles in static equilibrium

may be applied, e.g., coplanar forces may be represented with a closed vector polygon.

  • Inertia vectors are often called inertial forces as they

measure the resistance that particles offer to changes in motion, i.e., changes in speed or direction.

  • Inertial forces may be conceptually useful but are not

like the contact and gravitational forces found in statics.

A 90.7 kg block rests on a horizontal plane. Find the magnitude of the force P required to give the block an accelera-tion or 3 m/s2 to the right. The coef-ficient of kinetic friction between the block and plane is µk = 0.25. SOLUTION:

Kepler’s Laws of Planetary Motion

  • Results obtained for trajectories of satellites around earth may also be applied

to trajectories of planets around the sun.

  • Properties of planetary orbits around the sun were determined astronomical
  • bservations by Johann Kepler (1571-1630) before Newton had developed

his fundamental theory. 1) Each planet describes an ellipse, with the sun located at one of its foci. 2) The radius vector drawn from the sun to a planet sweeps equal areas in equal times. 3) The squares of the periodic times of the planets are proportional to the cubes of the semimajor axes of their orbits.
