Mechanics: The Study of Motion
Kinematics: How objects move Dynamics: Forces and why objects move
Speed is Measured From a Frame of Reference
Frames of Reference
A car moving at 60 mph looks as if it is standing still if you are moving at 60 mph.
How fast does it seem to move if you are going 30 mph in the same direction as the car?
How fast does it seem to move if you are moving 60 mph in the opposite direction?
Frames of Reference
Any measurement of position, distance or speed must be made with respect to a frame of reference
The motion of an object is highly dependent on where you observe it from
Inside a pane flying at constant velocity, if there were no windows could you tell you were moving? How?
Measuring Motion
The displacement of an object is defined as the change of position of an object
Displacement is different from the distance an object travels? How?
Displacement is a vector quantity It has magnitude and direction
Displacement over a unit of time is velocity
Displacement example
70 m east30 m west
Net displacement = 40 m east
∆x = x1 – x2

Average Speed & Velocity
Average speed = distance traveled elapsed time
Average velocity = displacement elapsed time
x2 –x1 ∆x t2 - t1 ∆tv = =
Constant Velocity (D vs T)
What happens when the lines cross?
Constant Velocity (V vs T)
Why don’t the lines cross?
Then, the instantaneous velocity is:
∆x ∆t

∆x
As we let ∆t get smaller and smaller the line whose slope we use to get the velocity looks more and more like a tangent to the curve. In the limit of ∆ → 0 the line becomes the derivative of the curve.
Acceleration
Acceleration is the change in velocity of an object
Any change in velocity is the result of an acceleration
Avg Accel = Final velocity – Original velocity
Time
Calculating Acceleration
A car accelerates from a stop. After 6 seconds it is traveling at 28 m/s (about 60 mi/hr). What was its average acceleration? Change in speed = 28 m/s Time = 6 seconds Acceleration = (28 m/s) / 6 s
= 4.67 m/s/s = 4.67 m/s2

Motion to the Right with Constant Leftward Acceleration
Equations of Constant Acceleration
v = v0 + at
x = x0 + v0t + ½ at2
v2 = v02 + 2a(x – x0)
v = v + v0

Falling Objects
The most common example of constant acceleration is an object falling towards the earth
The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2
At the end of each second of fall the speed of the object will increase by 9.8 m/s
NOTE: on the AP test multiple choice problems assume that the gravitational acceleration
is 10 m/s2
Questions
A ball is thrown upward What is the magnitude and
direction of its acceleration at A?
What is the magnitude and direction of its acceleration at B?
What is the direction of its velocity at A and B?

Momentum
Momentum
Momentum depends on the mass of an object and the speed it is going. Momentum = mass x velocity
Because velocity has direction then momentum does, also.
Momentum of Objects
Put the following in the order of most momentum to least: Mosquito Automobile Space Shuttle Bullet Freight Train
Questions
Does a small object always have less momentum than a large one?
How can a rifle bullet knock over a person or an animal?
Conservation of Momentum
When two objects collide, the momentum after the collision must be equal to the momentum after the collision.
The total momentum of any group of objects remains the same unless outside forces act on the objects.
Conservation of Momentum
The momentum of the two astronauts is equal to the momentum of the first astronaut before the collision
Conservation of Momentum—Inelastic Collisions
Before the collision momentum = 1000 kg x 20 m/s = 20,000 kg m/sAfter the collision momentum = (1000 kg + 3000 kg) x 5 m/s
= 20,000 kg m/s

Forces
Force
What causes objects to move? FORCE
A force is a push or a pull A force can make an object stop or start
moving or change its speed or direction.
Newton’s Laws
Newton’s First Law of Motion
An object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Inertia
The tendency of objects to remain at rest or remain in motion is called inertia.
The effects of inertia cause you to move forward when a car stops quickly.
If you are standing in a bus or a subway car when it starts up you move backward because your body’s inertia wants to “remain at rest.”
Newton’s First Law
The passenger remains in motion when the car stops unless he is acted upon by a force such as a seatbelt or a wall.
Crash Test Dummies

of friction. Would we be able to walk if there was no friction?
If you managed to get started, could you stop? Sand is sometimes put on icy roads and
sidewalks. Why does this help walking and driving?
Newton’s First Law
An object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Warm-up 9/15
1. A 5.5 kg watermelon is pushed across the table. If the acceleration is 4.2 m/sec/sec to the right, find the net force on the melon.
2. Astronauts in the space shuttle experience an acceleration of about 35 m/sec/sec during liftoff. What is the force on a 75 kg?
3. A 6.0 kg object undergoes an acceleration of 2.0 m/sec/sec. What is the net force acting on it? If this same force is applied to a 4.0 kg object, what is the acceleration produced?
Force = mass x acceleration
Newton’s Second Law
Newton’s Second Law
The second law of motion show how force, mass, and acceleration are related.
Force = mass x acceleration When mass is measured in kilograms and
acceleration is in meters/second/second, the force is measured in newtons. (N). One newton is the force required to accelerate one
kilogram of mass at one meter/second/second.1 N = 1kg x 1m/sec/sec
Second Law Diagram
Example
How much force is needed to accelerate a 1400 kg car 2 meters/second/second?
Force = mass x acceleration Force = 1400 kg x 2 meters/second/second Force = 2800 kilogram-meters/second/second
= 2800 N
Problems
How much force is needed to accelerate a 66 kg skier by 1 m/sec/sec? Force = mass x acceleration
= 66 kg x 1 m/sec/sec= 66 kg m/sec/sec = 66 N
What is the force on a 1000 kg elevator that is falling freely at 9.8 m/sec/sec? Force = mass x acceleration
= 1000 kg x 9.8 m/sec/sec = 9800 kg m/sec/sec = 9800 N
Free Body Diagrams
1. Reduce the object to a single point. 2. Draw all forces as vectors with the tails
originating at the point (object). Be sure to make the length of the vector
reflect the relative magnitude of the force. The force vectors should be pointing in the direction that the forces act
3. LABEL ALL FORCES

When Forces Balance Velocity is Constant
Forces acting on objects in one dimensions
A flying squirrel is gliding (no wing flaps) from a tree to the ground at constant velocity. Consider air resistance. Diagram the forces acting on the squirrel.
Friction
What force causes a car to slow to a stop if the engine is turned off?
What force keeps a car on a NASCAR track in the corners?
Friction is a force that opposes motion The amount of friction depends on the
type of surfaces in contact.
Frictional Force Depends on the Weight of an Object and the Surface
• The frictional force on an object depends on the “normal force” and the nature of the surface.
• Friction always opposes the direction of motion
Ffrict = μ x mgWhere μ is the “coefficient of friction” for
the surface (0 < μ < 1
The frictional force on a object of mass m is given by:
Friction questions
Which has more friction? Sliding a 2 kg brick across a table or sliding
two bricks stacked on each other? An icy road at 10o or one at 32o?
If a block of rubber is slid across a table quickly, its surface will get warm. Where does the heat come from?
Forces in two dimensions
A rightward force is applied to a book in order to move it across a desk with a rightward acceleration. Consider frictional forces. Neglect air resistance. Diagram the forces acting on the book
Newton’s Third Law
Question
Imagine you are an astronaut on a space-walk outside the space shuttle. You have used up all the gas in your jet pack. How do you get back to the shuttle?
ANSWER: Throw the jet pack away from the shuttle and you will go towards it.
Newton’s Third Law
Whenever one object exerts a force on another, the other exerts and equal force back in the opposite direction. For every action there is an equal but
opposite reaction.
Explain These Examples
Rowing a boat Birds flying Rockets A book sitting on a table
Review
What is inertia? How is it involved in Newton’s first law of motion?
What three quantities are related in Newton’s second law of motion? What is the relationship among them?
What does Newton’s third law say about action-reaction forces?
Gravity
Galileo, Newton, and Gravity
Galileo was born in 1564. People of his time believed that heavy objects would fall
faster than light ones. Galileo proved that objects fall at the same rate (assuming
air resistance is not significant). A falling object is accelerating (it gets faster as it
falls) According to Newton’s second law, an accelerating
object must have a force acting on it
Therefore….
The acceleration of a falling object is due to the force of gravity between the object and the earth.
At the earth’s surface every object accelerates at a rate of 9.8 m/sec/sec. This is the gravitational acceleration,
which is abbreviated “g”
Gravitational Acceleration
When an object is dropped from a mountain or tall building At the end of the first second its velocity is 9.8
m/sec At the end of two seconds its velocity is 19.6
m/sec At the end of three seconds it will have a
velocity of 29.4 m/sec.
Air Resistance
Do a leaf and a piece of paper fall as fast as a rock?
The reason they don’t is air resistance. All falling objects encounter air resistance. Sometimes the air resistance is enough to
keep an object from accelerating faster. When this happens we call the speed it
achieves “terminal velocity.”
Universal Gravitation
Newton realized that the forces acting on falling objects on earth were no different from those forces that keep the moon orbiting the earth or the earth orbiting the sun.
His law of universal gravitation states that all objects in the universe attract each other with the force of gravity.
Effects of Gravity
When objects have more mass they have more gravitational force. Large planets have stronger gravity than small
planets. The force of gravity is relatively small and is
dependent on the mass of the two objects attracting each other. Your textbook doesn’t jump into your hand because
you and the book don’t generate enough gravitational force
Weight and Mass
Weight is a measure of the force of gravity on an object.
weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity = m x g
Weight varies with the distance from the center of the earth.
Weight varies with what planet you are on The mass of an object does not change regardless of
where it is measured. The “official” unit of weight is the newton
Weight vs. Mass
Mass is often confused with weight. Mass is a measure of how much matter is
in an object. The more matter, the more mass!
The pull of gravity on an object determines its weight.
CRES Review
The space shuttle has a mass of 2 million kg. At lift off its engines produce an upward force of 30 million newtons. What is the weight of the shuttle? (w = m x g) What is the acceleration at launch? The average acceleration during the ten
minutes of engine burn is 13 m/sec/sec. What speed does it achieve?
