Friction in a viscous mediumDrag Force Quantified

With a cross sectional area, A (in m2), coefficient of drag of 1.0 (most objects), sea-level density of air, and velocity, v (m/s), the drag force is:

D = ½ C A v2 c A v2 in Newtons

c = ¼ kg/m3

In falling, when D = mg, then at terminal velocity Example: Bicycling at 10 m/s (22 m.p.h.), with projected area

of 0.5 m2 exerts ~30 Newtons Minimizing drag is often important


“Free” Fall Terminal velocity reached when Fdrag = Fgrav (= mg) For 75 kg person with a frontal area of 0.5 m2,

vterm 50 m/s, or 110 mph

which is reached in about 5 seconds, over 125 m of fall


Newton’s Laws

Law 1: An object subject to no external forces is at rest or moves with a constant velocity if viewed from an inertial reference frame.

Law 2: For any object, FFNET = FF = ma a

Law 3: Forces occur in pairs: FFA , B = - FFB , A

(For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.)

Read: Force of B on A


Newton’s Third Law:

If object 1 exerts a force on object 2 (F2,1 ) then object 2

exerts an equal and opposite force on object 1 (F1,2)

F1,2 = -F2,1

IMPORTANT: Newton’s 3rd law concerns force pairs whichact on two different objects (not on the same object) !

For every “action” there is an equal and opposite “reaction”


Gravity

Newton also recognized that gravity is an attractive, long-range force between any two objects.

When two objects with masses m1 and m2 are separated by distance r, each object “pulls” on the other with a force given by Newton’s law of gravity, as follows:


Cavendish’s Experiment

F = m1 g = G m1 m2 / r2

g = G m2 / r2

If we know big G, little g and r then will can find m2 the mass of the Earth!!!


Example (non-contact)

Consider the forces on an object undergoing projectile motion

FB,E = - mB g

EARTH

FE,B = mB g

FB,E = - mB g

FE,B = mB g

Question: By how much does g change at an altitude of 40 miles? (Radius of the Earth ~4000 mi)


Example

Consider the following two cases (a falling ball and ball on table),

Compare and contrast Free Body Diagram and

Action-Reaction Force Pair sketch


Example

Ball FallsFor Static Situation

N = mg


Normal Forces

Certain forces act to keep an object in place. These have what ever force needed to balance all others

(until a breaking point).

FB,T

Main goal at this point : Identify force pairs and apply Newton’s third law


Example

First: Free-body diagramSecond: Action/reaction pair forces

FB,E = -mg FB,T= N

FE,B = mg

FB,E = -mg

FE,B = mg

FT,B= -N


The flying bird in the cage

You have a bird in a cage that is resting on your upward turned palm. The cage is completely sealed to the outside (at least while we run the experiment!). The bird is initially sitting at rest on the perch. It decides it needs a bit of exercise and starts to fly.

Question: How does the weight of the cage plus bird vary when the bird is flying up, when the bird is flying sideways, when the bird is flying down?

So, what is holding the airplane up in the sky?

Example: Friction and Motion

A box of mass m1 = 1 kg is being pulled by a horizontal string having tension T = 40 N. It slides with friction

(k= 0.5) on top of a second box having mass m2 = 2 kg, which in turn slides on a smooth (frictionless) surface. What is the acceleration of the second box ?

Central question: What is force on mass 2?

Newtons 3rd law says the force box 2 exerts on box 1 is equal and opposite to the force box 1 exerts on box 2.

m1ff1,2 = Km1g = 5 N

ff2,1 == -ff1,2

As we just saw, this force is due to friction:

Home Exercise Friction and Motion, Replay

A box of mass m1 = 1 kg, initially at rest, is now pulled by a horizontal string having tension T = 10 N. This box (1) is on top of a second box of mass m2 = 2 kg. The static and kinetic coefficients of friction between the 2 boxes are s=1.5 and k= 0.5. The second box can slide freely (frictionless) on an smooth surface.

Compare the acceleration of box 1 to the acceleration of box 2 ?
