Lec 3.3 Newtons Second Law
𝐹 = 𝑚𝑎
If v is parallel to F, speed
increases.
4
If v is antiparallel to F, speed
decreases.
5
If v is perpendicular to F,
direction of v changes.

**On banked roads, friction may change
direction depending on the speed of the car.
If there is no air
resistance, both
(elephant and rock)
will experience the
same acceleration
(due to gravity).
𝐹𝐸 𝐹𝑅
= 𝑀𝑅
𝑀𝐸
Same acceleration
throughout means same
velocity upon hitting
ground
However, upon
hitting the ground,
the elephant will
require a higher
force to stop it.
*The arrows upon hitting the ground should be the force on
the objects, not acceleration
This will act as friction and
will slow down falling objects.
Air resistance increases as the
relative velocity between the
object and air increases.
Maximum (constant) velocity
attained by a body in free fall
Greater weight means
greater air resistance
needed to achieve
terminal velocity –
therefore, greater
terminal velocity.
[Assuming increase of
air resistance is same
for both]
Sensation felt when no external
objects touch your body and
exerts a force (push/pull) on you
[no contact forces].
When in freefall, you feel
weightless
