 Newton’s Laws of Motion

▪ Summarizes the principles of dynamics in terms of three laws.

▪ Characteristics
▪ Fundamental
▪ Foundation of classical (Newtonian) Mechanics
▪ Cannot be derived from other principles
▪ Not Universal
▪ Modify at very small sizes (subatomic particles)
▪ Modify at high speeds (near the speed of light)

 Types of Forces

▪ Force At-A-Distance
▪ Forces that are found between two particles separated in space.
▪ This creates a philosophical problem.
▪ However, we get around this by introducing the concept of force fields, or
simply field.
▪ Contact Forces
▪ Many forces that we encounter are exerted by objects in direct contact.
▪ Microscopically, these forces are electromagnetic in origin and are exerted
between the molecules of each object

 Example 2: A gymnast holding onto a bar, is suspended motionless
in mid-air. The bar is supported by two ropes that attach to the
ceiling.

 Example 3: A box is pushed up an incline with friction which
makes an angle of 20° with the horizontal.

 Example 4:A sphere is hanging from two ropes attached to the
ceiling. The first rope makes an angle of 30° with the ceiling, while
the second rope makes an angle of 45° with the ceiling.

 Example 5:A block is pulled over a horizontal plane with a force F
that makes an angle of 15° with the horizontal. Assuming there is
friction between the block and the plane, draw a free-body diagram
of the block.
